I noticed that with both opie and gpe the fn-levt/right-arrow combination does not switch VT's. If I switch to VT 1 I can use it to switch back however.

Thanks for your config, I'll test it once I get poodle to compile correctly again.

I was just looking for you on irc, but you weren't around. So I will leave you a note here:

I was listening to some of my blues today and it 'was' a good sounding system, but I thought I would test some other things for us poodle users... and I had to do a hard reset. After a reboot, there where 'your' distortions... I wish you had kept them

I copied the asound.state to my desktop and it was not changed from the working one, so I don't think that is the problem... or the fix.

Maybe a module not loading? I'll test some more tomorrow.

Hi,

I wanted to provide a bit of feedback regarding the poodle 2.6 kernel. I hope this is the best place to put it:

After I installed cardfs for Opie, SDL applications didn't work anymore. They gave me this error:

Unable to init SDL: No available video device

So I removed the libsdl-1.2-0 that came with cardfs and installed the one from the 3.5.4.1 feed and then it worked again.

Yes, that's one of the more annoying bugs of OE. It doesn't differentiate between libsdl-x11 and libsdl-qpe. So, depending on which sdl was compiled, either the Opie image or the GPE image will get the wrong version.

The only way around at this time is to rebuild the correct SDL before building any sort of image. It is something very easy to overlook

Quote

Also, prboom-opie in the 3.5.4.1 feed seems to be a duplicate of the prboom.ipk. prboom-opie from the 3.5.4 feed is the same version so I installed it and it works OK.

It's been some time since I did the prboom-opie hack. IIRC the only difference between the two are opie-specific "desktop" icons and a device-specific configuration of prboom.

Apart from that, prboom-opie and prboom are indeed identical.

VT switching should work just fine in GPE but is IIRC known not to work in Opie.

There may mor may not be some key-bindings missing from keylauncher which would explain the GPE issue.

Opie never had support for it in the first place

I'll have a look.

Well, would have been too easy anyway RP only got the distrotions after a reboot, too. Interesting indeed. There are still some things to be fixed / reworked in the sound driver so a driver bug is indeed possible. At least RP can now reproduce the problem (which is required to be able to fix something like that).

Regarding IRC: /msg's or normal messages w/ my nick will usually appear in my backlog

To fix the poodle sound after a reboot-> you simply suspend from the menu for about 30 seconds

Maybe this info will help you or RP with the problem.

Excellent, thanks!

So, I finally tried the new images.
Couldn't test much of it until now, but looks good (and fast).
Is there anything special I have to care of when getting usb networking to work?
Is the kernel module missing?
ifconfig -a reports no usbd0 device.

and it will never do, usbd0 is some kernel 2.4 invention. Modprobe g_ether and ifup usb0

Greg2 · « **Reply #24 on:** July 23, 2006, 01:46:24 pm »

You will have to install the g_ether module from the feed first.

Jinidog · « **Reply #25 on:** July 23, 2006, 01:49:07 pm »

I feared that.
It's difficult without connection to the internet.
Where can I get the module so that I can copy it via card and insmod it?

Jinidog · « **Reply #26 on:** July 23, 2006, 01:57:57 pm »

Well, despite of that. With the hentges Opie image I had the problem, that the screen turns black when launching Opie.
Was unusable.
With GPE the backlight control doesn't work correctly and disables the screen normally.
You have to tap around on the black screen and move somehow the slider again until it turns on again.
Suspend does not work either.

CoreDump · « **Reply #27 on:** July 23, 2006, 06:34:07 pm »

The next release will have a lot more modules installed by default, g_ether being on of them.

Okay, I have that stuff working now.
Had to build my own kernel out of OE (and flash it since the modules where compiled with gcc-4.1.1 and your kernel is built with gcc-3.4) and it works now.
So far so good.
Don't want to give my new 2.6 kernel away
I'm just building some apps for testing them.
Strangly mounting nfs-drives does not work (protocol unsupported) although I have the nfs-module loaded.

Is anyone interested in my reports?

I take it you've built the kernel from .dev? Th correct branch for OZ is .oz354x

NFS shares mount fine. Please retry with a kernel from the .oz354x branch.

Of course, that's what this thread is there for
