5500 Error - Will No Longer Calibrate? Options

[victorhooi]

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 did thisa part of your seggestion and got nothing

from the console,

cd /etc
ls -l pointercal

I then performed the second part.

If it's not there, do
echo "21596 0 173612 0 14745 978165 65536" > pointercal

If the filesystem is read-only , you will get an error message.

do "ls -l pointercal" again, to verify it updated. exit from console, and it should start up.

And when I exoted the console it started up without the calibration screen.
I can now get to the normal qtopia stuff but obviously the touch screen is way off.
If I go into calibrate it will just cycle through the points like it has been doing. I can cancel out of that and get back to the menues again.

Are those numbers in the command locations on the screen?
If I fiddle with them do you think I can get the touch screen working?

Thanks for the help so far, I hope I can get this resolved I wan't to use my Zaurus at work.
