I finally got sound working on the 860, bit hit and miss but...
changed the line in /etc/modules to

Code: [Select]

snd-soc-corgirebooted.
ran alsamixer and set the following

Code: [Select]

Master          85%
Master P        MUTE
Sidetone        0%
Mic Boos        MUTE
Playback        None
Capture         MUTE
ADC High        MUTE
Input Mu        Mic
Jack Fun        Headphone
Output M        UNMUTED
Output M        MUTE
Speaker         Off
Store DC        MUTEwhere
the names are truncated as in the display, wich is why "Output M" appears twice
MUTE is [MM] and UNMUTED is [00] changed using the 'm' key
Use the up and down arrows to change all other functions/values
You can turn "Speaker" to "On" as required.

Ubuntu / Zubuntu Supports Linksys 54g ?

« on: February 05, 2009, 05:13:53 pm »

Ok, I have done a lot more digging.

Linksys WCF54G Wireless Compact Flash was the first ever CF 802.11g card, never knew that, it was just cheap on ebay.

Chipset is Agere

Agere provided open source drivers but, I can see no reports of getting this card working and they were taken over and the official links are all dead.
http://www.agere.com/mobility/wireless_lan_drivers.html

Drivers *may* be kernel 2.4 only.

Lots of people (over the years) have asked for help getting this card to work but nothing I can find says "do this and it will work" on any zaurus distro.

Possibly supported by Hermes II

Possibly need wlags49 driver/s

Best hope is a post by speculatrix Jun 7 2005
post
<plead>Any update ?</plead>

Really need to find someone who has wholeheartedly got this card work in the Zaurus and can explain what needs to be done.

Ubuntu / Zubuntu Initial Teething Problems

« on: February 02, 2009, 05:36:46 pm »

for my 860 I had to readd the commented out MAX_BRIGHTNESS line as 15 was almost half the actual working max of 47 and updated the ACTUAL_BRIGHTNESS variable to BRIGHTNESS for the status report

Code: [Select]

BRIGHTNESS_FILE="/sys/class/backlight/$DRIVER/brightness"
BRIGHTNESS=`cat /sys/class/backlight/$DRIVER/actual_brightness`

issue 1: suspend happens after no user interaction EVEN if the power suppy IS plugged in.
Is there any way to set the machine to suspend if the unit is battery only powered ?
issue 2: using the metal power button on the side of the unit to resume from suspend wakes the Z for half a second and then resuspends repeatable ad infinitum.
Using the keyboard "home" power button is the only way to wake the zaurus completely.

doh ! stupid stupid stupid, of course the Z was not going into suspend mode but simple terminal blanking (screensaver) !
to disable just use [div class=\'codetop\']CODE[/div][div class=\'codemain\' style=\'height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto\']setterm -powersave off -blank 0[/div]

Ubuntu / Workaround For Kismet And Skb Bug Invalid Truesize

« on: January 25, 2009, 06:01:58 pm »

when running kismet the console interface is bombed with messages such as
"SKB BUG: Invalid truesize (320) len=222, sizeof(sk_buff)=160"
networks are still detected.
run
dmesg -n2;kismet
to launch kismet and the errors will disapear (be hidden)

note:
dmesg -n
      -nlevel
              Set the level at which logging of messages is done to  the  con-
              sole.   For  example,  -n  1 prevents all messages, expect panic
              messages, from appearing on the console.  All levels of messages
              are still written to /proc/kmsg, so syslogd( can still be used
              to control exactly where kernel messages appear.   When  the  -n
              option  is  used,  dmesg will not print or clear the kernel ring
              buffer.

CL860 suspend issues:

Is there any way to set the machine to suspend if the unit is battery only powered ?

Otherwise great work! I will be donating as soon as I get some money !

Yes, they are using beta3 but that is not out yet for the 860, I will have to wait ....
