How Turn Off The Z With Pdaxrom And Xfce?

[jalismak]

Hi!

I have installed pdaXrom with XFCE3 recently, but i don´t know how turn off the Z, the On/Off button not works and the suspend option drains the battery.

The only way is quit the windows manager and turn off in terminal mode?

Hi!

I have installed it recently, is the last version, pdaXrom-1.1.0r121-Kathrin-akita-current

so you want "turn off"  like completely turn off... if so... open up the shell... type halt...

It will turn your Z off... but to turn it back on you will need to pop open the battery cover... and press the reset button... prior to doing halt... I would learn where this button is... so you dont panic... :-)

thx for your reply  

Is the only way for shut down the Z? its possible a key asignement?. It's very slow to do a reset and wait until the Z runs and after load xfce4, for example when I need to store a new event at.

I have been suspend it with a key asignement but after when I goes to turn on again the battery is out

I have typed halt on shell and the Z only restart the system, turn off and inmediately it turn on again. Is so hard a simple task as turn off my Z

My C760 has a similat behaviour (shutdown -h now or halt end up in a system reboot).
And also if I take out the battery is self reboot when I put it back in.

It I noticed this when I got the device (second hand) running an old cacko rom ... so I think it's not directly pdaXrom related.

Can I do something to stop this behaviour ?

I know beta3 worked with that... I believe it is the config issue with apm... since we went to 2.6 kernel we had to basicly re config apm... I will look into it later..

Recently I did a test run on my c860 which, when running cacko, did not suffer from the self reboot problem.
Appart from all the other problems I found it also began to suffer from the self reboot once I had installed r121.

I thinks there may be bothe some model issue and pdaXrom issue: maybe the c760 was gesigned to work that way* but surely the c860 was not ... so pdaXrom also has something to do with the problem.

* I'm not sure because my c760 suffers from quite a few hardware problems, so it could be something specific to my c760 or something common to all c760 .... any of the guys not using u-boot on their c760 can you leave your device powered off (not suspend) without taking out the batteries ?
