FSO1 is not very usable at the moment, according to some mailing list messages. I'm not sure if it's a lot of work or less work to find out what has caused the regression. Note that FSO2 is almost in now, but not quite: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-fso-maint/2011-August/004321.html I'm using ca. Debian 6.0 era versions of FSO1 in my daily phone. I upgraded to Debian 6.0 + pkg-fso in October 2010 and everything worked (and has worked since). But indeed I noticed that on the fresh sid install Zhone didn't register into network even after installing it from experimental. There is probably a problem in downgrading from sid to Debian 6.0 in that there is plenty of E17 libraries that would need a bit of downgrading at the same time with zhone/FSO/etc. Anyway things are getting better, but there is still some way to go. > time ./install.sh all > > works ok.

I haven't used the tray much (instead using my own hacky control app at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User:TimoJyrinki), but indeed like Riccardo mentioned, try the different xorg.conf to resolve the tslib/evdev conflict. It should fix the slowness / 100% CPU usage problem. > Any hints on how to proceed? > > I still consider the whole thing a success, allthough my freerunner > has returned to state "unusable". First, fix the xorg.conf (and hopefully report success). Then, either wait for the rest of FSO2 to come and then find an UI that you can use with it (Zhone as is works only with FSO1, but there have been patches to port it to FSO2), or shortcut and compile the remaining bits not yet in archive yourself (fso-datad, fso-deviced, fso-gsmd, fso-tdld, fso-usaged, fso-common, fso-frameworkd from http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/). I hope that out-of-the-box phone functionality is back to us with sid in a couple of weeks, and better than ever. -Timo _______________________________________________ Smartphones-userland mailing list Smartphones-userland@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/smartphones-userland
