Re: [Zaurus-devel] Zaurus: kernel 2.6.38
2.6.38 with OE defconfig boots just fine on an Akita. However, i get a white screen when i try to suspend. Kernel was compiled with gcc 4.5.2 xchain built with OE. Can anyone confirm that suspend is working in 2.6.38 on an Akita?

Doing just now. It is a WIP, but it may help a bit. Commented code is stolen from another projects and needs to be adjusted. http://ftp.penguin.cz/pub/users/utx/zaurus/evdevd-unfinished.tar.bz2 The top directory contains some learning examples. The code intended to be release is in evdevd-0.1. I wanted to write it without glib or any other dbus proxy. It makes code a bit more complex and especially I had to learn use of select(). The idea is following: When client starts, it queries for the current status by .../Evdevd/GetLid. It will starts listening on .../Evdevd/Lid would to get change signals. I was not yet decided whether "force rotation" or "force headphone mode" should be part of the daemon or part of the client. -- Stanislav Brabec http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/zaurus ___ Zaurus-devel mailing list Zaurus-devel@lists.linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/zaurus-devel

It's basically possible and I already succeeded. I even wrote a nice keymap with working CapsLock (programming XKB is crazy!) and layout switch. http://ftp.penguin.cz/pub/users/utx/zaurus/files/xserver-xorg/ But last time I tried it (a year ago), it needed extra ~15 megabytes of RAM. It's not acceptable for device with 64MB of RAM. Another blocker is the fuzz of the touchscreen device (if we don't want to use depecated tslib input device).

It's amazing anyway :) Non-working offline changing was long time show-stopper for us. Now we can at least have good working base for fixing relatively small problems! -- Yury Bushmelev ___ Zaurus-devel mailing list Zaurus-devel@lists.linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/zaurus-devel

There are two issues there: using linux-rp there is a bunch of module_autoload_snd-pcm-oss = "snd-pcm-oss" module_autoload_pcmcia_core = "pcmcia_core" ... module_autoload_snd-soc-spitz_spitz = "snd-soc-spitz" I'd say, here we can build those modules in kernel... > > After fixing these two issues, it may be a good candidate for update the > default kernel in the feeds. Yes, first target is moving to linux.inc and second step will be 'use standard udev'. Third step is the new event-driven zaurusd. Fourth step (to be discussed) is moving all to xorg-xserver.

Not only that it boots. Even battery seems to survive overnight suspend! I just seen following problems: - I guess that I seen some errors about missing audio (untested). - tslib stopped to understand /dev/input/touchscreen0. After fixing these two issues, it may be a good candidate for update the default kernel in the feeds. And long time running issues: - Serial without console may need to close/open after suspend to work again. - Suspend still has problems with MAX (but offline charging surprisingly seems to work, I did not test whether even stopping of charging works) - Unfiltered touchscreen precision is still tragical (50 pixel jumps are not exceptions). - I still did not find to finish my resistor array keyboard driver (AKA remote control). I will probably port the old one to get remote working there. - Status of filesystem corruptions is not known (it is happening with varying frequency in all 2.6 kernels). -- Stanislav Brabec http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/zaurus ___ Zaurus-devel mailing list Zaurus-devel@lists.linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/zaurus-devel

Great news.
