Title: How Turn Off The Z With Pdaxrom And Xfce?
Post by: jalismak on January 01, 2007, 04:17:55 pm: Hi!

I have installed pdaXrom with XFCE3 recently, but i don´t know how turn off the Z, the On/Off button not works and the suspend option drains the battery.

The only way is quit the windows manager and turn off in terminal mode?

It will turn your Z off... but to turn it back on you will need to pop open the battery cover... and press the reset button... prior to doing halt... I would learn where this button is... so you dont panic... :-)

Is the only way for shut down the Z? its possible a key asignement?. It's very slow to do a reset and wait until the Z runs and after load xfce4, for example when I need to store a new event at.

I have been suspend it with a key asignement but after when I goes to turn on again the battery is out

Post by: louigi600 on January 02, 2007, 03:11:47 pm: My C760 has a similat behaviour (shutdown -h now or halt end up in a system reboot).
And also if I take out the battery is self reboot when I put it back in.

It I noticed this when I got the device (second hand) running an old cacko rom ... so I think it's not directly pdaXrom related.

Can I do something to stop this behaviour ?

Post by: InSearchOf on January 02, 2007, 04:37:46 pm: I know beta3 worked with that... I believe it is the config issue with apm... since we went to 2.6 kernel we had to basicly re config apm... I will look into it later..

Recently I did a test run on my c860 which, when running cacko, did not suffer from the self reboot problem.
Appart from all the other problems I found it also began to suffer from the self reboot once I had installed r121.

I thinks there may be bothe some model issue and pdaXrom issue: maybe the c760 was gesigned to work that way* but surely the c860 was not ... so pdaXrom also has something to do with the problem.

* I'm not sure because my c760 suffers from quite a few hardware problems, so it could be something specific to my c760 or something common to all c760 .... any of the guys not using u-boot on their c760 can you leave your device powered off (not suspend) without taking out the batteries ?
