QUOTE(speculatrix @ Dec 6 2007, 05:34 PM)  QUOTE(jpmatrix @ Dec 6 2007, 03:26 PM) what is the difference between echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/corgi-bl/power and apm -s ? is it a low sleep instead of deep sleep ?  the "echo" line turns off the power to the backlight.. this is separate to the brightness control which has the bug where setting backlight to minimum can cause it to go off - probably a hardware problem and a different setting again! I put both backlight off and minimum brightness in my screen-close script so that you can leave the Z running in as low power mode as possible yet play mp3s etc. ok thanks for this great news! i try it right now! |

QUOTE(jpmatrix @ Dec 6 2007, 02:04 AM) QUOTE(dlj0 @ Dec 6 2007, 02:22 AM) -- well, using the machine with the "portrait mode" where the keys are hidden is kinda pointless without a virtual keyboard, anyway -- solution for that (virtual keyboard) is here : http://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=24993 OK, I have it all set up and running correctly, though I did have to install a catalan config file (english was not available....). OK, since I will probably learn some Catalan next Spring anyway, I guess that is good. But weird. However, every time I re-boot or login, I have to re-start /etc/init.d/zaurusd in order to straighten out the screen. There is some sort of error message on the screen if I kill the X server about Xlib. If I had to guess I would say that I need to run the zaurusd script after the X server starts, but that is not the way it happens. I could straighten out the server by replacing the angle option on the call to the server --- currently it is exec /usr/bin/Xfbdev -screen 480x640 "$@" but was exec /usr/bin/Xfbdev -screen 480x640@270 "$@" before I re-instituted zaurusd. But this it not available for the xdm screen, and not when I first login, either. I have to start the daemon again, even though it is in /etc/rc2.d Any clues? Where in the start order is your /etc/rc2.d/S**zaurusd (that is, what goes where the ** is)? Does this all work for someone? In order to get the shifted screen for the closed mode, I need to fix this. |

Strange

In addition: zaurusd wasn't starting on my Z while booting, so i did ln -s /etc/init.d/zaurus.d /etc/rc2.d/S31zaurusd

apt-get install rcconf
The app allows you to easily set what startup services will run, zaurusd is not usually set to start at boot. I think it runs when X is triggered and closed down when you exit it. I could be wrong though. The app though is very useful. |

QUOTE(dlj0 @ Dec 4 2007, 01:24 AM) I have had numerous instances where, carrying the machine in my pocket, something will touch the button and it will wake up, and drain the battery. yeah, me too. is there any way to poll the hinge switch to see if the lid is closed? then it'd be easy to test on resume and just suspend again |
