it's dejavu...

the googlepage forgot to mention the modules for ts.
then I posted in the "OABI vs. EABI" thread saying it is missing and I added the files manually.
But again ... I wrote the script referring to the googlepage guide this morning,  but I forgot this bit!

So here they are.  Sorry, chero. I bet it should work this time, or I owe you a kratten of trippel ...

Also I've just updated the afterinstall.sh to include loading usb module. If you fancy getting USB devices working, you can simply do "modprobe ohci-hcd" or try this:

Sound works great (i am using 2.6.23.1 yonggun with EABI rootfs). I use the armel packages and they work right away, if my memory doesn't fail me again.
Perhaps writing such a big guy in a short burst is not healthy ...

I'm on the 2.6.22 Angstrom kernel => that might explain the calibration problem.
Going to flash a new one ...

Ok, ts_calibrate goes thru, sorry, chero, I am thinking of me having a kratten of duvel ...

Now X....
How do you set it up?
If you have /usr/bin/startx symlinked to /usr/bin/icewm-session-experimental (or any other WM launcher),
AND
the entry "exec icewm-session-experimental" in ~/.xsession,
then
you may get this error.
(because i had this too yesterday.)

solution: remove the line in .xsession

YAY ... its an issue with the WM installed ... have unroatted xfce4 running

This is with startxfce4 not the base startx.  Got it to rotate by typeing xrandr -o right in the prompt.

But yonggun uses uboot...
in fact I really want to see if switching from sharpbootloader to uboot will do nothing to the internal drive.
if that's the case then it's very convenient.

Another holly test is awaiting for you, little chero ...
