New Pdaxrom Release R197
« Reply #30 on: April 18, 2007, 10:42:50 pm »
Dear Zdevil,

you said that you flashed it without AC power. Would that be the hint?
When you flashed it, what is your battery level ?
Because I have problem with r121 and r197, when I flashed it my
batt. level is very low ....

I will reflash it again with full charge and see what happens.

BR,

Felix.

Thats interesting. I'll try it again without my battery being in and see if the APM works properly after that?

A few post ago I wrote a list of simpe tests to understand how your 860/7x0 touchscreen behaves with this release. Since we are using a pda/mini laptop with touchscreen, this SHOULD NOT be a simple "detail". The touchscreen MUST work properly, since It USED to work properly till beta1.

So...

...please, can you test your touchscreen? Thank you all

I will test the touchscreen when I get chance to. I've been very busy with other stuff, meaning my C860 has sat dorment and untouched for several days now as other things atm are a bit more important to me. Will post here when I get around to it.

flashed....

My first check....

/etc/sysconfig/x11mousebutts still needs to reconfigure as follows in order to use "Fn" key as the right mouse button (i.e. no changes starting from beta4....  )

Quote
QUOTE:
hold_right_button 0
right_button 69
middle_button 50
power_button 117

for screen rotate issue, I haven't got that problem in my sl-c3100

re: pdaxrom.org [200-21] case, just hold the [Fn] button in console, and press 'A' key, you can get the 'a'  character displayed....

this is due to the keymap for your machine isn't loaded....

Hi there,

tried flashing about 12 times already but still does not work.
I guess you guys must have a different AC adapter or battery.

Whenever I plug in the AC adapter there is an error.
My battery still shows 0%.

returning to Beta 1 ...

br,

Felix.

My experience is the same wrt power.

After installing uboot the charging light never comes on again.

The battery level gets lower and lower as it's never charging.

If I use the engineer's controls to switch on charging manually, then the light comes on and the battery appears to charge.

NAND restore back to Beta3 (ie anything before uboot) and charging light works fine.

I'm not sure you are noticing the real problem of the touchscreen driver.
1) Can you correctly use xstroke or others writing recognition tools?
2) Can you get correct drawing in sketchbook or xournal?
3) Can you ALWAYS click correctly on buttons and icons?

try xournal; open a new file and tap screen with a finger. If you see strange line appearing instead of dots, than the support is crappy. That's not fine at all.
Thank you in advance for testing, let me know

I don't use either of the first two so have never tried them.

As for the third, I'll have to try later perhaps.

Without the powerlead it seems to shut itself down randomly and think the battery is dead when it isn't.

scoutme got it right. On my C860, in Xournal even a simple single tap can produce funny results...

happy to see someone other did notice. The same has been pointed out by Louigi600. NOW: in beta1 this didn't happen, and the driver specified in ts.conf is different. Can developers try to use the old driver in newest releases? Or discover problems with the new one?

hey men!! Is it possible to have an answer from people working on pdaxrom?

In beta1 in ts.conf I read module_raw CORGI, and input works properly. From r121 on, I read module_raw input: the cursor jumps between press and release events in a random manner. That's a bug verified on every 860 we tested.

Since you changed the ts.conf file, and you configured modules, you should be able to make some hypothesis arise, shouldn't you?

Let us know

I wonder when pdaXrom team will ask OpenEmbedded developers for help or atleast will check what we ship and how.

Spectrum cards working out of box is just a matter of firmware package and script which upload it after card insert.
Battery working is a matter of kernel - pdaX still use 2.6.16 which we dropped weeks ago as 2.6.20 works OK for us.
Touchscreen configuration for 2.6 on Zaurus is easy too - we ship working one.

When will pdaX ship something what works? (I know that Ångström images have bugs but not so lowlevel ones)
