Thanks so much for such a quick fix! Is there a way to install the new kernel only without having to reflash the device or is the only way to install it to reinstall the entire ROM (and all the programs)?

It's great to hear the progress being made, and this made sound stooopid
but is it possible to get a screen grab from someone, love to see how it looks.

I'll just reply to myself. I went ahead and took the chance and reflashed and it didn't get rid of anything! Just upgraded the kernel. Next I'm going to try and get Volume +/- into a global keybinding somehow (I have the "vol" program, but I'm thinking if I can find aumix, that would work better).

If anyone is interested, I have built the "aumix" package and "xbindkeys" and have gotten it to work to use global hotkeys in non-matchbox WMs (like XFCE) for Fn+1 (640x480), Fn+2 (320x240), Fn+3 (Reduce brightness), Fn+4 (Increase brightness), Fn+5 (Decrease volume 5), Fn+6 (Increase volume 5).

It works pretty well and unlike XFCE's built-in key binder (which doesn't by default detect Fn+1, etc. and also can only accept 10 bindings) this works for an unlimited number of bindings.

Install the two ipk files, then create a .xbindkeysrc file in the /home/root folder.

Code: [Select]

"xrandr -s 0"
 Â m:0x10 + c:49

"xrandr -s 1"
 Â m:0x10 + c:50

"setfl -"
 Â m:0x10 + c:51

"setfl +"
 Â m:0x10 + c:52

"aumix -v-5"
 Â m:0x10 + c:53

"aumix -v+5"
 Â m:0x10 +c:54

to Switch back you'll have to firstly reuse this updater.sh to resize your flash to 5Mb, then either reinstall cacko rom as you would do whenever, or you'll need to follow the procedure to go back to Qtopia from the c3000 forums here

pdaXrom works OK (keep losing keyboard after opening aterm)

trying to re-install cacko, install goes OK but on reboot it keeps coming up with...
blah blah... INIT: version 2.78 booting
jiffs2_scan_inode_node(): CRC failed on node at 0x001da9e4: Read 0xffffff, calculated 0xff871607
Is this a fault with the flash resize?
'Ctrl C' at this point switches back to run level 6

the jffs2 scan inode error is normal as far as I remember ... don't cacko boot normally after this error message ? (do you really need to 'ctrl-C at this point ?)

Add another voice to the chorus singing "Yay! It works! You are my hero!". Now I have a decent shell environment, I can at least start hacking shell scripts while I get everything else set up. Thanks again. This really was the best Christmas present I got this year.

I'm having some trouble with the install coming from the Cacko Rom. I'm getting all sorts of "No space left on device" errors. Reflashed twice to be sure I did it all right.

Also not much a vi person so editing these files is a major pita but que sera... what do we use as an ESC key?

Any idea when the next release is coming?

TIA,

macstibs

Anything worth doing is worth doing well.

At what point are you running out of space? Is it the flash or hard drive?

The little round cancel button next to the directional button sends <ESC>.

Figured out the ESC problem and I realized its easier to use vi before launching into X.

During the Bluetooth start I get this:

mknod: /dev/rfcomm249: No space left...

Also, I installed the hostap modules but I'm still getting an error when I insert the card.

-executing: 'modprobe hostap 2>&1'
-modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.4.20/modules.dep (No such file or directory)
-modprobe exited with status 255
-module /lib/modules/2.4.20/pcmcia/hostap.o not available

any ideas?

Did you follow this howto right ? (the modules don't go in the good dir so you'll have to move or link them after install)
The free space error during boot time is "normal" (you're not the only one the experience this one and I hope to fix it for next beta)

A little status update : iamasmith finally answered me and made me think one more time about using a pivot_root mechanism so the next beta *MAY* be based on a pivot_root mechanism and *MAY* have a 4Gb root dir on the hard drive (would help addressing lots of problems ... I just hope it won't create new ones )

I thought I did but I'm 95% sure I must have screwed up the symlink. Checking it out now.

Really great Rom you have here. All the best with the development. If I can help out (I doubt it cause I'm 99% tard) I certainly will.

Cheers!
