Have a look at here
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qtopia_on_FreeRunner#Unpacking_the_Qtopia_Root_Filesystem_Image

Alternatively, if you have an SD reader on your host box, you can do
cd /jffs/mountpoint
find ./ -xdev -print0 | cpio -pa0V /SD/mountpoint

Thanks much for taking a look at this, Lorn.

I have flashed the new kernel/rootfs from qtopia
qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-flash-07221045.tgz, but I am still having difficulties.  

On initiation of a call, state switches to gsmhandset.state, regardless of
whether the headset is plugged in before or during the call.  

If I manually apply alsactl -f gsmheadset.state, I get working sound.

In the options popup tab during the call, only Handset and Speakerphone are
given, with Handset highlighted.

When I start a call with the headset, Headphones is in the Options menu, but as
soon as I plug the headset in, it disappears.

With all ext2 partitions, I get this in dmesg

FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev mmcblk0.
FAT: bogus number of reserved sectors
VFS: Can't find a valid FAT filesystem on dev mmcblk0.

I can confirm the fdisk magic on my 4GB AData SDHC.  It was partitioned with 4
ext2 partitions.

Are these problems limited to only SDHC?

headset with qtopia

2008-07-20 Thread thewtex
Has anyone got the headset that comes with the Freerunner group purchase working
with the qtopia.net images?  There seems to be a small amount of sound coming
out somewhere.  And speakerphone goes wacky.  Maybe alsamixer settings?

I have been a long time TMobile customer, but not in that area.  Their costumer 
service is superb and their prices are decent.  

I would not get AT&T.  The have an illustrious history of being a monopoly and 
acting like one.  They treat their costumers as prey to be taken advantage of.  
They will try to lock you in.  They will spy on your calls and have no qualms 
about letting the government do the same.  Their costumer service is horrible.  

In some areas, their coverage may be better, maybe.  And, there may be better 
hardware out there than the Openmoko Freerunner.  But that is not the point.  
Get an Openmoko for the freedom and do not buy service from a company that 
willingly lets the government spy on your conversations.

Hi Brenda,

Thanks for contributing to the project.  

I think making the Index page into a MediaWiki Template is a good idea.  An 
overall navigation element that can be embedded in every page.

For good examples see
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Index:Template
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Gentoo_Linux_Wiki:Header_Templates

or the MediaWiki documentation on templates.  

Or maybe a detailed overall index page and navigational templates for different 
sections of the wiki.

Regards,
thewtex
