shaky stylus
« on: July 21, 2004, 01:09:02 pm »
I have been using  Cacko on my 5000d now for a month or so and evrything I do with the stylus is shaky, for example when I try to draw a straight line, it comes out jagged instead, or if I try to pull a scrollbar, jumps up and down, it didn't do it with the other roms I have tried so I don't think it is hardware, does anyone know how I might fix this?

I've noticed this a bit with my stock sharp rom.  i think its just an over sensitive touch screen.  If you are only pressing lightly, it seems to be worse.  If you have a screen protector, it may make it worse as your pressure will be slightly spread out by the thick layer of plastic.

If it goes away when you press harder, i think its more likely the hardware than the OS.

You could also try another ROM to see if the problem persists, in the least it will help to determine if its a software or hardware issue
Left Linux and Linux PDAs... sorry, got boring.  Switched to Mac.

In cacko this happens to me when i underclock the processor too far... fine otherwise - great rom! ;-)
