Debian (titchy) Vs. Debian Eabi ?

[ZDevil]

2or0, by the sound packages, do you mean the Angtrom ones (there is not alsa-base in its feed) or the Debian armel ones?


Believe or not, libpaper1 finally agrees to install and configure properly after I plug in a CF card ... and the configure script of libpaper1 does somehow umont /mnt/cf, my goodness ... All other packages do not have this problem.

all sound packages are from debian. I only used angstrom binary for missing package or mplayer.

Thanks, then how to get to the sound setting (like mute, volume)?  
EDIT: I installed the armel packages of alsa-base, alsa-utils and alsa-oss. I tried alsamixer, but got this:

Code: [Select]

alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such deviceStrange. I now get issue in xorunal. Tap and hold the stylus will produce vertical strokes. The terminal says "*** attempt to put segment in horiz list twice" What does that mean? I am using the 0.3.3 armel package.

Did you load the sound module, snd-soc-spitz? Simply 'modprobe snd-soc-spitz' or you can add it in /etc/modules.

Yes! modprobe snd-soc-spitz gets me to the mixer setting .  Sweet.
How do you set sound there? There are more than two dozens switches to flip ...
(Now replying using Minimo in Debian EABI on my 3200    )

[ZDevil]

Ok, I got sound both from headphone and speaker!
After modprobe soc-snd-spitz, run alsamixer. There unmute the headphones and speakers. "MM" is mute. "OO" is on. Use the "," and "." keys to turn things on/off.
The armel xmms still plays ver choppy music, but much better than in OABI (titchy).
Now going to try Angstrom's mplayer.  )

[jpmatrix]

well,
i'm unhappy with sound : although i adduser my_user to group audio, i have permission troubles for xmms to open /dev/dsp as i launch xmms....
did you have that?

by the way, did you get minimo from angstrom ? it didn't have any dependencies?

[brb in 1 hour to continue the armel adventure !]

Strange. I now get issue in xorunal. Tap and hold the stylus will produce vertical strokes. The terminal says "*** attempt to put segment in horiz list twice" What does that mean? I am using the 0.3.3 armel package.

I recompiled the kernel because input setting is wrong   . Now it doesn't have that problem. I will upload it later. One problem is this: when I plugged in the usb mouse, the movement of mouse is 90 degree rotated. I don't know why.

[ZDevil]

I run as root. So not sure about non-root usage.

Yes, I use minimo from Angstrom (armv5te). I didn't use it before. It looks and works ok, but there are too few buttons to press. Have yet to set up mouse right click key. Perhaps with that there are more options (in the right click menu -- i suppose there is one?)

Very much looking forward to your new kernel, please!
To me, I rather choose a behaving stylus pointer than a usb mouse cursor, because I seldom use usb mouse. The screen is too small for my mice to run around. My mice are already half as big as my dog.

after a zaurus reboot, i now don't have permission messages ! ( i use a regular user, not root)
xmms is playing now, but ... i have no sound output.......
i tried to play with alsamixer and aumix with no success....
what device do you configure in xmms settings?

[now really brb in 1 hour!  grrrrrrr zaurus is a time eater    ]

The mouse right key setting is same as what you did with titchy.

When you play music using xmms, did you install xmms-mad? alsa output?

And you can add unrelease feed in source.list like deb ftp.de.debian.org/debian-kfreebsd unreleased main. It has lots of packages including iceweasel (unfortunately it doesn't work). You can install epiphany-gecko which is a light and full featured webbrower.

[ZDevil]

Wow. Installing xmms-mad fixes it! Sound plays amazingly well through the speaker now!

I ran into problem when installing epiphany-gecko. A lot of gnome and related packages are reported to fail to configure.

Now you've proven that all the "OMG SOUND IS BAD IN 2.6" FUD was indeed FUD, I suspect you'll find that most of the "doesn't work in 2.6" stuff is merely PEBKAC.

Plz point out exactly where I say "OMG SOUND IS BAD IN 2.6" FUD.  Otherwise this is a rather anti-social aggressive accusation.
