If 640x480 is not possible, how to encode 320x240? And more importantly how to play them then, so that they are maximized and don't play as a small box in a maximized black frame?

So I'm experimenting with it, it seems sound is the biggest problem. I can play 640x480 movies without sound smooth with no glitches. So have been trying different settings for mencoder to decrease the sound taxation of the processor, so far they don't seem to be making a difference. I've tried with the three sampling rates, also have decreased the CBR to 64, but can't play the 640x480 movie. Also haven't found a fullscreen option for 320x240 so far.

Also a problem with suspend. Unfortunatelly, all the outside keys, i.e. the camera, light, volume and mic are still active when suspended, therefore my Uni is almost always on anyway. When I suspend it, put it in the coat's pocket, one of these keys gets pressed and it comes on.

The internal keyboard however is not active while suspended, only the external keys and the direction pad under the display. How can I turn the outside keys off when suspended, with the exception of the power buton?

Wolfy,

You should boot to a line where it has a login prompt. I type in 'root' to login....no password neede.

With this install, there is no graphics interface, just console.

On titchy mobile website, there is now a titchy xserver file you can download and install. Then you can install a window manager of your choice such as IceWM, XFCE4, etc....to have the graphic interface you are looking for.

HTH,

Mark

OK, I understand, I installed xserver.deb from titchy
pkgt -i xserver.deb
now haw to start x?
is need to install ICEWM or KDE or someting? window manager?
haw to do this?
please explain me some details

[webdork]

If you're using xserver-titchy, deleting /etc/ts.conf triggers recalibration when you next start X.  Otherwise, try

Code: [Select]

TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event0 ts_calibrate

Excellent... I just returned home from a trip this evening (and left my charger @ home while I was out of town). I'll give it a go as soon as I get my battery powered back up and report back. Once again @ Datathief - thanx!!!

I've been trying to find a solution for this.  I've used devmem2 to change the CPU registers that control what can wake it, but it seems the kernel resets them on suspend.  We may need to patch the kernel.

Well the kernel should be rebuilt anyhow, it's on my next-steps list anyway, but likely I'm gonna get to that only in a matter of months, if I set-up the cross-dev etc. If you're planning to do it, please consider to include support for dm/cryptsetup into the kernel, so it supports LUKS encrypted volumes, especially on a mobile device this is somewhat important.

now haw to start x?

usually at prompt do:

Code: [Select]

#startx

is need to install ICEWM or KDE or someting? window manager?

Yes....

haw to do this?
please explain me some details

at prompt do:

Code: [Select]

#apt-get install icewm
 

You might want to check out basic Debian info on the OESF forums Debian section and the OESF wiki and on other Debian sites.... you are doing basic setup stuff that you would do for setting up Debian on any other computer more or less....

[wolfy]

OK thanks for your reply

[ShiroiKuma]

Datathief, can you specify how you got pppd on demand setup.

I've never setup on-demand ppp, so am not sure of all that is necessary.

You've added demand to /etc/ppp/options? What else? Do you do:
[div class=\'codetop\']CODE[/div][div class=\'codemain\' style=\'height:200px;white-space:pre;overflow:auto\']  route del default
  route add default ppp0

  echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr[/div]

How do you start pppd, with the command line in your wiki, or with pppd :127.0.0.1

I've been trying to find a solution for this.  I've used devmem2 to change the CPU registers that control what can wake it, but it seems the kernel resets them on suspend.  We may need to patch the kernel.

I've added an apmd script to the wiki (under 'Resume on Close').  It's a hack, like all the other uses of devmem2, but it works for me.

I use:

Code: [Select]

pppd pty 'socat - tcp:127.0.0.1:1702' noauth demand connect /bin/true defaultroute idle 60 holdoff 3Adding "demand" doesn't work without "connect", so I use "connect /bin/true" which doesn't actually do anything.  I used "idle 60" to close the connection after a minute; "holdoff 3" probably isn't needed.

I've achieved high quality high performance video playback at 640x480. Script details at http://sumoudou.org/index.php?cmd=%E7%9B%B...the%20Universal

(Are there any important features still missing from htcunid?  What's standing in the way of a 1.0 release now?)

I think one more thing is missing still currently.

There should be a query command to inquire about the status of the connetion, i.e. if connected to the network, how strong etc. You know like sometimes you're in buildings where there is no signal etc., and if the phone is disconnected, you should see if it's because of a lack of network availability or something else.
