Cacko Slc3k Settings/rotation Issues
« on: January 14, 2006, 01:17:56 pm »
Hey guys,

I recently installed the latest version of BVDD SDL, and I copied 2 binaries (snes9x and znester) to /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/ and somehow after that my pda has been really f-ed up.  Basically the symptoms are that on initial bootup, it displays the startup screen.  Eventually it displays the task bar.  It used to ask me to set the time and it no longer asks me to do that.  After displaying hte task bar and getting hard drive churn for another 20-30 seconds the screen promptly rotates.  Hitting rotation in the menu does nothing.  Folding the screen over the keyboard (which normally rotates it into the position it's in) causes it to rotate upside down!  Initially when this first happened, my power settings were all set back to default as were my appearance settings.  Something definitely happened somewhere.  Any assistance would be great.

Also. A cacko/tetsu 18a kernel bug...  My PNY 512MB SD card causes a complete system crash.  But only when the pda automatically powers off after the timeout period on batteries.  When you turn the zaurus on, it will reboot from scratch.  But this is the important part, ONLY after you let it power itself off.  If you power it off using hte on/off switch, it won't crash.

Again, Thanks for any assistance!

Mark

Fixed,

Could be two things:

1. I ssh'd in and adjusted resolution.conf to be Rot270 instead of Rot0 before the system booted up.
2. I followed this howto: [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=4183]https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=4183[/url]

One of them did the trick

Thanks,
