Angstrom & OpenZaurus / 3.5.2 Gpe On Collie No Suspend/resume?

« on: December 15, 2004, 12:45:55 pm »

i did a quick hack to make the extra buttons (calendar, power button, ..) work under gpe.

file to map extra keys for X collie.xmodmap:
keycode 96 = XF86Calendar
keycode 97 = telephone
keycode 48 = XF86Start
keycode 98 = XF86Mail

# xmodmap collie.xmodmap

the matchbox-wm has builtin keylaunch support which isn't compatible with the keylaunch-daemon started in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90keylaunch. So i removed the file.

/usr/share/matchbox/kbdconfig:
### Extra keys:
XF86Calendar=!!gpe-calendar  
telephone=!!gpe-contacts    
XF86Start=desktop          
XF86Mail=!!dillo                                    
XF86Music=!!gpe-nmf        
Escape=close                
XF86PowerDown=!apm --suspend

So when the Cancel-Button is pressed for a few seconds, the XF86PowerDown Keycode is sent and as a consequence apm --suspend is called.

there is one drawback when loading the usbdmonitor module (to get rid of the "device not accepting address 3, error -71" problem):
suspending needs about 10 secondes becaue the module is waiting for a synchronisation (writing to /proc/usb-monitor ) of the hotplug script.
but the /proc/usb-monitor is read-only!!
so there is a need for a kernel-patch i think

for the first i hope this helps someone.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Gpe 3.5.2 & Media Player

it has: gpe-nmf (uses gstreamer), but it's not in the feeds, only in openembedded.
gpe-nmf is a small but cool player. the only drawback is that at the moment the playlist isn't saved.

5x00 Hardware / Lexar SD 256mb errors

« on: April 14, 2004, 05:22:20 pm »

thanks for your help but the alternate mmscd driver didn\'t help either.
strange things are going on: if i put the card in the running zaurus fdisk says that there isn\'t a partition table on the sd card.
but when i suspend the zaurus as you said with the card put in fdisk shows me a partition table but with a strange entry:
Disk /dev/mmcda: 255 MB, 255852544 bytes
16 heads, 32 sectors/track, 976 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 512 * 512 = 262144 bytes

     Device Boot    Start       End    Blocks   Id  System
/dev/mmcda1             1       976    249840    6  FAT16
/dev/mmcda2             1         1         0    0  Empty
Partition 2 has different physical/logical beginnings (non-Linux?):
     phys=(0, 0, 0) logical=(0, 0, 1)
Partition 2 has different physical/logical endings:
     phys=(0, 0, 0) logical=(8388607, 15, 32)
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.

/dev/mmcda2 shouldn\'t be there. i partitioned the card with an external card writer and there should be only mmcda1.

# touch test
touch: test: Input/output error

# dmesg
EXT2-fs error (device mmcd(60,1)): read_inode_bitmap: Cannot read inode bitmap - block_group = 0, inode_bitmap = 4

5x00 Hardware / Lexar SD 256mb errors

« on: April 14, 2004, 03:46:21 pm »

hi all!

Today I purchased a 256MB Lexar SD card because I read that there are no problems with this card but apparently this is not the case
First I formatted the card with ext2. It lasted a long time but it looked ok. But when i tried to write a file on it (e.g. touch test) it needed a very very long time and there were errors in dmesg.

output with dmesg when inserting the card:
VFS: Disk change detected on device mmcd(60,1)
Partition check:
 mmcda: mmcda1
VFS: Disk change detected on device mmcd(60,1)
 mmcda: mmcda1
VFS: Disk change detected on device mmcd(60,1)
 mmcda: mmcda1
VFS: Disk change detected on device mmcd(60,1)
 mmcda: mmcda1
SD read error 00
SD read error : data block
invalidate: busy buffer
VFS: Disk change detected on device mmcd(60,1)
invalidate: busy buffer
VFS: busy inodes on changed media.
 mmcda: mmcda1
invalidate: busy buffer

output with dmesg when writing file on card:
SD write error unknown status : 1f
[SD]-W 44400 0400 ERROR!
SD read error 00
SD read error : data block
SD write error unknown status : 1f
[SD]-W 44400 0400 ERROR!

I was able to partition and format the card with an external usb writer on my pc so I think the card is ok.
I have a Zaurus SL-5500 with OZ-3.3.6-pre1.

I hope someone can help me..

Cheers, Hermann
