heya,
I just dug my Z-5500 out of storage after a long hiatus, and flashed it with Qtopia 2.1.2. Upon starting up, I tapped the screen once to start the setup, then went through the calibration procedure. However, no matter how many times I performed calibration, it simply repeated all over again. Thinking it was a problem with the ROM, I flashed it again with OZ 3.5.4 as well, with the same result (calibration kept on looping). This is a very strange error, but hopefully the machine is usable somehow - any suggestions? Thanks, Victor |

I have 3.10 too. Pointer calibration is a test qtopia runs when it first comes up. It should be creating a file /etc/pointercal. Mine looks like this:
21596 0 173612 0 14745 978165 65536 You can log what qtopia is doing by uncommenting the line in /opt/QtPalmtop/qpe.sh It's my guess that filesystem errors (bad ram) are forcing root mount into read-only. Try creating a file. |
