Post by: scoutme on January 12, 2007, 05:41:34 am
yes: this is the usual post asking for new pdaxrom releases. I had to flash back sharp rom, and I hate this. What's going on with our X distro?

thx all

I'm using latest pdaXrom (r121).
Problems:
1. Problem with apm. When battery level is about 30-40% screen blinks and turn off.
2. Problem with touchscreen. Sometimes get wrong position of touch.
3. Problem with udev. udev monitor show nothing when I plugin usbnet.  
Sorry for my English

I used to have problem 1 on my c760 with beta4 but I'm not having it any more with r121, but I can run my Z for quite some time after apm says battery is 0%.

Problem 2: I have this more prominently in the right half of the screen (I find it impossible to use the close,maximize and iconize buttons. I'm not 100% sure that this is not a specific hardware faliure in my c760 which suffers many problems. When I'll decide fo flash my c860 also with r121 I'll report if I have the same problem.

I just installed r121 on my c860 and I get the very same trouble on the right half of the touchscree.

For me, the first thing I noticed with r121 was that USB Storage/Net did not work. Could have got along without USB Net, but no USB Storage was a show-stopper. Didn't seem to be any advice on how to fix it, so I went with beta3 as recommended by Meanie.

Still being developed as noted in... This Thread (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=22660)

I can't give you an exact date when we will do the release, but I think if we get to behind on a release we *MIGHT* release another "very beta" release...

but stay active and we will come through...

OK Thanks. I searched at the time and couldn't find it. Might be worth a sticky with the known fixes for known bugs. Looking forward to the next release. I agree that the 2.6 kernel was pretty speedy.

Yes, I found the post. OESF still seems to be broken when trying to bring up those older theads by clicking on the thread title, timeout. Interestingly, I found that when I search with posts instead of topics, I can click on the thread number and it comes up.

You are correct, you posted some info on usbnet. I didn't see anything on usb storage. Couldn't tell whether the usbnet was solved or not. Thanks for checking.

my problem with my 860 is that r121 isn't stable nor funtional, while beta1 is stable but old and unsupported. I'd like a release at least at a beta stadium (beta1 is a real beta, other releases are alpha on 860) that let me compile and support the platform without working in vane. That's my point. I'll wait
