Oz3.5.3 (collie) On/off Button Problem

I just installed 3.5.3 on my poodle yesterday.  I've read this thread, and it's great to see that the problem with the APM suspend has been partially resolved. 

I've found the instructions at http://openzaurus.org/wordpress/2005/07/27...rnel-on-collie/ for how to fix the problem on the collie.  However, I don't know how that can help me, since I have a poodle.

Has anyone figured out how to repair the problem on an SL5600?

Thanks for the hard work, guys.

Here is the state of things as I see it. I have posted regarding these, but the current edition of the Hentges image is quite good - the suspend is a least mostly fixed. I still had a few problems but far far less. Unfortunately it does not work with the Socket WLAN Low Power card. Or at least I was never able to get it to. Apparently it has a bad copy of the Orinico in as a kernel load so it cannot be replaced.

The stock 3.5.3 image unfortunately also has a bad orinoco module but for a different reason. It  does not have the spectrum_cs "in" it apparently. And of course it has the suspend issue.

So if you don't have a Socket WLAN card, I highly recommend the Hentges image.

But for me, since I need the unit for the next three weeks, I am going to have to go back to Sharp ROM - so I can get wifi. I have not had the time (due to working overtime at work) to try to setup a build environment which appears like it will take several days.

My Socket LP CF works fine in my 3.5.3 Hentges Collie (5500). Do you have a 5600 (Poodle)? Just want to clarify, since the OP was talking about the Collie APM problem (which Hentges has pretty much handled, as best I can tell).

Sorry guys for the late reply ... but I have been on an extended journey out of the lower 48 and needed my Zaurus to work - so I loaded Watapon which worked great on my Poodle (SL5600 and Socket WLAN).

I will check back in on OZ eventually when I get a bit of time.

This 'fix' has been applied in the gpe-image for collie handhelds only - if you have problems resuming after suspend, try this:

-Remove the line containing /dev/apm_bios from /etc/device_table
-Reboot

Thanks for the info. I just made the change and will let everyone know how it goes...

How did it go? I'm seeing this problem 6 months after this thread so I guess that it hasn't been fixed yet.

I'm booting Opie from an SD card but the last flash I did was with GPE. I'll try this workaround and see what happens, did it work for you?

No need to get shirty!

I came across this while searching for something else. I hadn't really registered that the suspend issue was a bug as opposed to just something wrong on my machine so hadn't bothered doing any research into it to see how to fix it. Finding this post out of the blue made me realise that I wasn't the only one with the problem so I thought I'd respond. As the last poster said that they would try something and get back with results I just asked for their results.
