Zaurus - pdaXrom / 1.1.0r121 Is Out!

« on: September 27, 2006, 03:18:08 pm »

Hi there,

just installed r121 to my C860. I found that the apm for 860 is
not working. the battery is at 5% all the time and is not charging
at all since the charging (amber) light is not on.

Can anyone help ?

BR,

Felix.

Hi iczer3,

Your C860 has the same apm issue as my 7500C. I guess the reason why anunakin says it's OK is because he uses C3100, which at least has some different hardware than C7x0.

I'm just thinking about the possible ways to fix this issue:

1. We can ask Sashz to modify his code or the configuration for C7x0 and release another build. (But Sashz needs to find out what caused the problem)

2. Since the apm in OZ/GPE is working pretty well, can we borrow something from it's rom? My knowledge doesn't allow me to do that by myself now. But someone might be able to do that. I think the apm is a very essential part for pdaXrom. (Right now if I unplug my 7500 it will shut off right away. The testing guys in my company will call it a "Lines down" level 0 defect).

BTW, has anyone tried to build pdaXrom using pdaX86 LiveCD and the pdaXrom builder? I found that it's a very time consuming process and takes up a lot of disk space. But I suppose anyone can use that to build his own pdaXrom with his own fixes and sumbit to Sashz for review.

Anyway, I really hope the apm and the sound issues can be fixed for C7x0 soon.

Keep up the good work Sashz!

Hi! all!!

What's nice advice for me!
I use r121 on C860, but poweroff/on didn't work fine.

apm in OZ/GPE works fine,  so I checked apm.
Its version of OZ/GPI is v3.2.2, but the one of pdaXrom is v3.2.1!!

I built latest apm package, v3.2.2-8, for pdaXrom and updated on my Z.
Then poweroff/on works better than before!!

I have been trying poweroff/on many times since apm was updated, but never failed!!

You can download my apm ipk from this URL below.
If you have some problem with apm, you might become happy by using it.

(Sorry, this web is Japanese only, but no problem to download it.)

You can overwrite the original apm package with it by using "ipkg install" command.

Enjoy!!

Anyone know if there is an ncftp client for pdaXrom?

Thanks for any info,

Daryl

Hi!  

I built it. You can use it, though hasn't been tested enough.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom 1.1.0beta 4 And New Bootloader

« on: June 11, 2006, 02:26:54 pm »

Some issues:
1. After I exit X back to the command prompt, sometimes the screen is locked, and all of my typing just scrolls in one line at the bottom.

2. Menu in X goes off of the bottom of the screen in landscape mode. no way to see the lower selections.

3. Time does not survive a reboot. In the old versions, the curren time was saved and then restored on reboot, so I lost seconds, hours or days if left ina drawer. Now it goes back to 1970.

4. Note during bootup: "can't synthesize pci hotplug events"

5. No "cardctl" program. How do I eject/insert a card "from the command line"?

6. Stylus sometimes "hangs" when tapping on something. It presses the button, but stays "down" rather than coming back up.

7. After exiting X, some keys like the "a" key do not work.

8. I use "modprobe g_ether" to get USB networking working (on 760), but when I run "startx" it shuts that down and I have to start it again

9. Keyboard in X: Menu key soes not work, FN 3 and FN 4 does not dim/brighten the screen.

10. Tapping on battery, clock, or CPU meter does not do anything. Older ROM's gave info, and sometimes link to a related program.

11. I think filesystems should mount "noatime" to spare flash writes.

Not complaining, just posting for inf, and looking for fixes. Thanks for the great work!

Hi clofland! It's a nice testing report!  

I report that there is not "hwclock" command in beta4.
Checked beta4 for Cxxxx, this command seems to be in "util-linux."
So I rebuild util-linux with hwclock using pdaXrom-builder.
hwclock works fine, but after rebooting, returned to 1970/01/01.

If you want to replace util-linux right now, you can download it from my web.

Sorry, this web in Japanese.

sashz, thanks for your good job.
Could you update util-linux sys-config, including hwclock?

And, sashz, does Zaurus need both APM and ACPI support?
It's just a question because I don't know about them well.
