Hey,

What is hibernate or suspend like?
In the project that i am doing i'd like to be able to hibernate the htc so that it could sit for a couple of days without a power supply and wake up in the same state as it was before....

Is this possible?

Also, when you hold the power button and the display appears with the clock and the date, how is this graphic produced? I was under the impression to get a gui like that you needed X...

Thanks.

Hey,

I know it might be obvious to some but i don't think it's been posted here so:

There is a bug with the touchscreen. If wifi is enabled in wince at the time of booting into linux the touch screen will not work.

Hope this helps someone.

Hi,

Was just wondering about the acx driver. Does titchy come with the latest version?

This tutorial here (http://acx100.sourceforge.net/wiki/Distribution_list/Debian) says that the acx-100 driver is in the contrib repo and was just wondering if i should try install it.

I've found wifi to be stable for browsing simple websites but try an apt-get install xxx and you're lucky if it lasts 20 seconds...

Wifi working great apart from after a suspend.

What did you do to make it work great, just change the speed as datathief indicated?

And what do you mean by great, does the connection still stop working after some time?

I doubt that it is working great. There's a new driver out for the acx... I wish I knew enough to build it in the kernel :/ ... I get stuck with the cs.c and mem.c files for the Uni

I dunno. It's not been as bad as i expected. I've just been doing a ping test to try an see how long it's lasting...so far i'm on sequence 1200 and it's been going about 15 minutes. So far so good.

I think the acx driver info can be found at http://acx100.sourceforge.net/

Where are the suspend and wake up scripts kept?

I found after suspend i have to

Code: [Select]

rmmod acx
modprobe acx
/etc/init.d/networking restart
to get a connection.

I would like to change it so when it wakes up it performs this. Or maybe when it suspends to do the

Code: [Select]

rmmod acx

Hey,

Got X working, touchscreen working...managed to connect on the wifi so i know that's working.

I was wondering how your phone tools can produce a nice shiny graphic even before X has been installed? Could you enlighten me...?

If you're not using dhcp, your access point may not show an IP address for it.  Can you ping the AP?

(I notice the dhcp-client and iputils-ping packages are missing from my rootfs.  Oops.  I've fixed that now.)

Couldn't ping.
I got iputils-ping on my last install but not got round to it this time. I was just playing around last night before i went to bed. I know i couldn't ping the htc from another machine on the network.
Got my last exam in 2 hours so i'm gonna have a real play after that.

Also i installed xserver-titchy again and tscalib came up again, but i touches were not recoginised. I quickly tried cat -v /dev/input/event0 but didn't get any output. I'm guessing i need to change or maybe make some config files...

After tscalib loads the first time it doesn't load again...how do i reset it so i can calibrate again as there doesn't appear to be anywhere to load it...

Ahhh how silly. I assumed that was already there...totally forgot doing it the first time.

Don't suppose you could give me a bit of help with the old wireless. Got the modules loaded and sorted the rate. On my access point i can see that the uni is connected but not got an ip or anything:

Code: [Select]

Address                   Rate      Quality      RSSI      State                         Age
00:09:2D:DE:13:37     0                        -82     llAuthenticated     0
Here's what i've got in /etc/network/interfaces

Code: [Select]

auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.1.99
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
broadcast 192.168.1.255
wireless-mode managed
wireless-essid myEssid
I've turned encryption off for the purpose of testing.  Would it work better with dhcp...?

Hey,

So i got the net working through usb and ubuntu no problem but because i'd made changes without knowing exactly what i'd done i did a fresh install of titchy...mainly because i couldn't get the touch screen calibration thing up ever since it crashed on the first attempt...

So fresh install and all i've done is

Code: [Select]

apt-get install xdm icewm-experimental
rebootOn the previous install the logon screen would show up but i had not touch screen. Sometimes it didn't show up at boot up and i just had to do

Code: [Select]

xdm
to get it working. Now however nothing happens. Am i missing something? Previously you said to either get xdm or xinit. Should i just forget xdm for now? I'm just slightly confused as to why it doesn't work at the moment?

Cheers

Cheers.

I can ping the universal from vista but can't talk to the pc from the universal. I am connected with "limited connectivity" according to windows...

This means Windows is trying to obtain an IP address from the phone  -  this happens if Internet Connection Sharing is off (the "Allow other network users to connect..." option  -  see the wiki page).

I have it set up as per the instructions. It was definitely working before so I'm not sure what's happened. Been playing around with different settings this morning but no luck.

Ah yeah cheers. When i rebooted it gave me the x window login screen.

Now though i can't seem to get connected to the net. I had it working through the usb connection and windows vista as described in the wiki but now it's being weird.

I can ping the universal from vista but can't talk to the pc from the universal. I am connected with "limited connectivity" according to windows...

I would go into ubuntu but like i said i'm trying to pretend to myself that i'm studying and i need to be in windows for it...

I tried connecting to my router quickly but wasn't successful. In what way is the wireless unstable? In that it is hard to maintain a connection?

Edit:
Yeah i installed xdm

Cool cheers.

What's a good window manager to go with?  I've been reading through this whole thread and it's hard work!  I've got a feeling the answer is in here somewhere.

I got flux but i get a couldn't connect to XServer error and Ice gives me a can't open display. I'm trying to not work on the universal as i have an exam tomorrow and on thursday but it's too tempting to play with!!

Hey,

Got titchy installed last night...

I had to format my SD slightly different to what was described...booted into haret with ramdisk.

Mounted and formatted the card using fdisk on the universal.
Made the file system on the universal too.

Did a "sync" and unmounted.
Did the tar stuff on the pc (saves transferring)...

Changed the zImage and startup files to the ones provided on the wiki and managed to boot titchy...

I couldn't get it to mount the file system when i did it all on the pc...not sure why but was probably just being silly and was too lazy to figure out why!

Gonna play about with trying to get a window manager on the go...

Do i need to install X...i notice there is an Xserver-titchy...does this do the job of X?
