Hello,
does anyone use the IODATA CF-XGA card successfully under pdaXrom 1.1.0beta3?
Anyone willing to help to make it work?
I tried with different versions of the cfxga-mirror tool available on the Internet but to no avail.
The "cfxga-mirror" tool which is shipped with pdaXrom 1.1.0beta3 and installed under /usr/bin generates a disturbed
image on the external monitor (rotated by 90 degrees, ghosted four times and interlaced).
I have not found the sources for that. Does anyone have them?
So I downloaded the "cfxgamirror" and "cfxgamirror2" sources, the first one from trisoft, the other one from a Japanese page.
cfxgamirror needed a little change in order to generate a good image on the monitor. Otherwise it generated also a disturbed image, but different than
"cfxga-mirror".
cfxgamirror2 did it fine without the change.
BUT: Both of these versions crash the Zaurus after some seconds if used under X.
If used under console without X (i.e. directly after booting) they work fine.
The pre-installed "cfxga-mirror" does not crash, at least not as fast as the others.
Also, if I start them under console without X, then terminate them, and then want to start X, I get this error and X doesn't start until I reboot:
#startx
Loading /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/kernel.map
_XSERVTransSocketOpenCOTSServer: Unable to open socket for inet6
_XSERVTransOpen: transport open failed for inet6/zaurus:0
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: failed to open listener for inet6
XIO: Â fatal IO error 104 (Conection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
   after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
Below is the source code of cfxgamirror2.c which causes that problems.
Does anyone have a clue why:
1. the tool crashes the Zaurus
2. ...only when in X
3. startx cannot be executed after the tool ran under console
(even ejecting the card and/or unloading memory_cs.o does not help for startx)
4. how I can make this card work well under pdaXrom?
Currently I am trying to track down the position in the source where the zaurus crashes using printf commands.
Will update this thread on each result.
Any help or hint greatly appreciated!
Thanks a lot!
