Screen White Out
« on: July 16, 2005, 02:35:49 am »
i have been having ssome problems with my c3k, about after 4 - 5 mins of the wifi card bieng turned on (ie connected) my screen fades to white, somtimes this happens as soon as i place in inthe cf slot

anyone encoutred this, i havent had this before. keep in mind i have a modified wifi card and thoght mabey i had a short that was causeing excessive current draw or somthing like that

othertimes while the card is still in the slot it ejects then reinserts it by itself and the card comes up as anonymos memory. this is normally after the white out where i reinsert the card and have had it working for a couple of minutes

one thing i did notice is if you lose your net connection with netfront then reconect it will give you a whole lot of tcp errors and refuse to browse, mabey its just my pdas way of telling me i should have gone to opera a long time ago

I mentioned in a post elsewhere that I get a screen whiteout when running mplayer 320x240 movies in full screen mode within X.  Sounds like a very different type of application, but sure seems like the same effect.  I have to cold-cock my Z to recover from the problem.  Have you found another way to recover?

yep i get that as well when i specify certin options, my soulution for the wifi is to work on the internal USB port project in the hardware hacking section, i have a bluetooth card ready to go and am hunting down a good 802.11g card to fit in my case

as for recovery i have not found any other way, i belive somthing is clobbering the registers and leaving the device in an uknown state
