Hi everyone,
I had just finished installing OZ 3.5.1 on my 5500 (opie) when I went to the web site and found word that 3.5.2 was available. Thinking that it wouldn't be too hard to upgrade (now that I had familiarized myself with the procedure), I started fresh.
Anyway, a couple things I noticed...
First, kapm-idle seems to use a lot of CPU (92.1%). Top shows a consistent load average of ~3.00. Is this all normal?
Second, when I try to start fbvncserver using '/etc/init.d/fbvncinput start', it complains that it there's no module named kbdsim. Should I alter the init script to insmod zaurus_kbdsim.o, the module that installed with fbvncserver-kmodule?
Thankis for now (I'm sure I'll have a couple more questions soon - specially about installing opera).

kapm-idled is kernel task to do nothing - ignore it
kbdsim.o problem... if after change it works for you then send a patch to OE mailing-list (or OZ-devel)

OK, seems to work with zaurus_kbdsim (btw, why insmod -f ???)
So, rather than install diff on my z or cp down the old and new files to my workstation, the diff looks like:
- insmod -f kbdsim
+ insmod zaurus_kbdsim
anyway, the /etc/init.d/fbvncinput file is only 8 lines (shorter than a proper diff).
Mine now looks like:
#!/bin/sh
rm -f /dev/ts
mkfifo /dev/ts
mkfifo /dev/tssim
mknod /dev/kbdsim c 61 0
insmod zaurus_kbdsim <<<<<<<<<<
/usr/bin/tssimd

So a load average of 3.00 is ok when the unit is completely idle (even opie not running)?

Where'd you find that kmodule package? I don't see it anywhere.

we removed feed/kernel/ - it needs to be rebuild ;(

You can always go here and get the kernel driver and fbvnc:
