sleep freeze and fonts (pdaxrom 1.0)

[tcoulon]

I\'ve flashed the new ROM and overall it seems nice. I have noticed one problem and have a question:

- if I leave my tcl/tk apps loaded and set the Z to sleep, on wake up they close. That\'s not too bad. However if I leave gtk applications opened (xmms and gqview) and set the Z to sleep it simply freezes - I have to remove the battery to restart it.
I?m not sure if this is gtk linked or if it has to do with the fact that the apps open files on the CF card.

- The X fonts are still tiny. I\'ve found I can change the font size in Qtconfig but it won\'t change the fonts in an X window. There also is a (quite large) \"fonts\" ipk but there is no documentation and as I\'m quite tight on space I won\'t install it until I know what it does.

I\'ve had the lock-up problem with xmms as well.

I close xmms, click suspend, and the zaurus hangs.  It needs a battery pull to get things working again.

Have you tried running xset +dpms in an xterm before sleeping?  That worked for others (and me) with just a normal sleep freezing (not running xmms).

Yes, it does work. Could you explain what it does? Can we automate this - it looks like the \"effect\" will last until next reboot, could it be put in some starting script?
And Thanks for this information )

it enables the dpms.  the xstart script should be able to do it with a usefull delay.  I haven\'t been able to try this yet.  I\'m going to have to reflash and resize the / partition for making any such changes.

for some reason this isn\'t enabled by default.  Others seem to have no problem which makes you wonder if some ipk or app disables this.  Either way I\'ll have a look at it soon I hope.

I reflashed my / at 60mb, so I\'ve got no problem with space (just yet).  As for suspends, it seems to be enabled anyway.  I\'m wondering wether even doing xset q is causing it to suspend properly.  Either way you can add

sleep 2
xset +dpms

to the bottom of the startx script (which startx will tell you where it is) just to be sure.  Bizarely after flashing to the latest rom this doesn\'t seem to be problem.
