[Angstrom-devel] Unmutable PREFERRED_VERSION_xyz in angstrom-2007.1.conf
Hello all, while testing newer package I noticed I could override some, and some not: conf/distro/angstrom-2007.1.conf uses one of PREFERRED_VERSION ?= PREFERRED_VERSION = for package versions. I would like to be able to override these easily from my local.conf, and so ?= is preferred for me. Is it possible to change this upstream, or is there a reason to make some package versions fully unmutable through local.conf?

Some of the '=' ones were meant to make angstrom 'unbreakable', but several developer insist on giving enough rope to hang themselves, so we can change them to '?=' and start preparing responses like If you put nonsense in your local.conf you void your warranty or Why are you surprised it breaks with that local.conf? -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFHGwBsMkyGM64RGpERAo1XAJ9YbU2Squ7bj9zYDjUkPoOTLaDzuACffx1A RcHl10XqZ4Up9zqG7235iBw= =jnqF -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Angstrom-distro-devel mailing list Angstrom-distro-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-devel
[Angstrom-devel] Angstrom keyboard handling
This is a second try to send this message, so I'm sorry if it's a duplicate. Ugh, if only somebody could add application/pgp-signature to the list of allowed MIME types for the list... Hello! Here is a better version of my previous keymap. I tried to squeeze everything possible from the Zaurus keyboard. Differences from the previous version. 1. For the '+', '-', '*' symbols (which are usually accessed via Fn+something), if you press now it together with Shift, you'll get keypad +, - and * respectively. Not that it matters a lot, but sometimes this can be useful. 2. Fn+x, Fn+c, Fn+v will generate the XF86Cut, XF86Copy, XF86Paste symbols, as designed on keyboard. Not sure what applications honor this anyways, but now you at least have some extra keys ;) 3. The Calendar, Address, Mail, Home, Menu keys will generate respectively XF86Calendar, XF86Phone (not the 'telephone' character which is incorrectly generated for some other PDAs! XF86Phone is a symbol while `telephone' is a Unicode character), XF86Mail, XF86HomePage, Menu symbols as designed on keyboard. This change required some modifications of the default keylaunchrc.matchbox too, and to the config for gpe-conf keys. 4. I moved the backtick character from Fn+Q to Shift+'-' where it seems more appropiate. 5. Reverted console scrolling to Fn+Shift+Up/Down (e.g. Shift+PgUp/PgDn). Fn+Ctrl+Up/Down was pretty non-obvious to me, couldn't get used to it. Unfortunately, Caps Lock doesn't work. This seems a limitation of the X server itself, which always expects the CapsLock symbol to be in column 1 to work (e.g. CapsLock must be the primary key meaning), while on Zaurus CapsLock stays on the Tab key. Since the list does not allow attaches with funny extensions, and I have to attach many files, and many wouldn't like the extra load on the mailing list I have packed everything into a single zip file here: http://cs.ozerki.net/zap/zaurus-c3xxx-keyboard.zip Does it make sense to try push these changes into OE? -- Andrew ___ Angstrom-distro-devel mailing list Angstrom-distro-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-devel

[Angstrom-devel] Problems with screen blanking on h2200
Sorry for probably off-topic, but [EMAIL PROTECTED] seems to be long time dead, and I don't know where else I can post kernel-related problems. I would be glad if someone can clarify current situation with handhelds kernel developement. Anyway, here's my story. Recently I've been playing with Gentoo on my h2200. After compiling xorg-server-1.4 (full-blown, not the kdrive version), I tried to start it - but without success. Screen flickered, turned black, then flickered again and slowly turned white instead of showing X cursor. X server itself didn't show any error in console or logs and worked until ^C was pressed. But even after ^C screen never returned to normal state until reset. I tried to run X under strace and noticed this calls: ioctl(6, FBIOBLANK, 0x1)= 0 and then near the end of strace log: ioctl(6, FBIOBLANK, 0) = 0 This seemed to be the cause, because I already experienced similar problems with blanking in plain console and was pressed to workaround it with setterm -blank 0. Simple testcase program in C proved it, and also I found that bug can be triggered from command line by following statements: echo 1 /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank echo 0 /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank For assuring myself what it's not the fault of my custom kernel config, I checked also with LiveRam Angstrom image (20070922) and successfully triggered this bug from command line. Then I dug into kernel code, but since I'm not a kernel hacker at all, the only thing I tried was commenting out mq1100fb_power call from mq1100fb_blank function in drivers/video/mq1100fb.c : -- diff -u -r1.45 mq1100fb.c --- drivers/video/mq1100fb.c18 Jul 2007 19:21:42 - 1.45 +++ drivers/video/mq1100fb.c21 Oct 2007 08:25:30 - @@ -318,7 +318,7 @@ *blank_mode == 4: powerdown */ - mq1100fb_power (info, blank_mode); +/* mq1100fb_power (info, blank_mode); */ return 0; } -- Suddenly it turned out to be a solution - screen was blanking anyway (seemed that it's somehow handled by drivers/video/backlight/h2200_lcd.c driver (and maybe backlight driver too)), but on unblanking it has all of its contents intact and X finally worked. Still I can't understand how it works and how screen blanking differs from device suspending which seemed to call the same mq1100fb_power without any problems. -- Best regards, Dmitry MAD Artamonow ___ Angstrom-distro-devel mailing list Angstrom-distro-devel@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro-devel
