I can trigger the light off bug by setting the light to the lowest level using the applet and pressing auto-scrole in opie-reader.

I'm not sure where the bug lies, either qtopia or opie-reader but it gave me quite a shock when it happened. 

Under qpe opie-reader does:

QCopEnvelope( "QPE/System", "setScreenSaverMode(int)" ) << QPEApplication::Disable; // light is even not dimmed

when you start scrolling.  Maybe this has something to do with it?
Looks like that's the problem - calling setScreenSaverMode(int) qcop with brightness set to the minimum by the applet causes screen backlight to turn off completely. I will take a look into the applet, but I'm not sure I'll get to figure out the problem...
I've come into this thread a little late, so if this is already known, sorry!

I got a light off bug with the Cacko ROM too.

I could make it happen by setting the brightness to a minium and then when on battery power the screen would automatically turn the light down (to off) after a short delay of inactivity. I found you could stop it automatically dimming in an option somewhere so I could leave the backlight at the lowest setting without this happening. (sorry not near my 860 to check).

Cheers
Marc

The problem is not with reader, it's the applet that's FUBAR'ed.
Using the function key shortcuts on the keyboard works just fine, so I guess it's a problem in the brightness applet.

Because Music Player supoprts remote control and Media Player can play OGG files.
When I plug in my remote, it's Music player that shows up, but I can control Media with the remote just fine  

It would be nice if your modified kino could sort the playlist by artist/album

It already does turn LCD off when lid is closed
But if you turn on the Z while the lid is closed, the backlight turns on and stays on.

Same problem with the sound: the minijack-inserted detection is pretty bad. It's irritating to miss alarms because the Z thinks there's still something in the jack-out (and directs all sound there), when I've had my headphones unplugged for a while already.
I'm going to talk to the kdepimpi maintainers to see if they can force output to the speaker.

Who do we petition to get the QPE bugfixes in? There are a few issues with KDEPIM/PI still unresolved because of QPE bugs.
edit: sent a mail to trolltech. We'll see what they have to say about it.

I've set up my z so that I can type 'btup' and 'btdown' to bring my bluetooth connection up or down using bash aliases (for more info see my post at... https://www.oesf.org/forums/inde...pic=2275&st=75).

I want the globe icon to show that I'm connected once the connection is established. Also, when my connection is broken, I'd like some visual alert. Is there some way to do this from a bash script? Do I need to roll my own visual cue? Will Cacko 1.22 do this?

Why bother TrollTech with bugs in Qtopia/Sharp? It's not their product and they won't support let alone fix it. They don't even have the sources for it.

cacko 1.2.1 is very nice, but is there anyway to give more options for the appearance? similar to the ones in oz?? expecially smaller fonts and icons, I really can't stand desktop size fonts on a pda... am i the only one ?

I'm having trouble syncing now that I just put 1.2.1 on my 860, whereas conics english nand worked perfect...

-Arden
will post more ideas after i use it for a fews days

I prefer the larger fonts, I like to keep my eyesight :-p

For UI elements, you don't need 640x480 on a PDA of today's era, anyway; I'm happy enough to use the extra resolution for more eye candy.  640x480 becomes useful when you're using actual applications that take advantage of the display.

Thanks maslovsky!

Now Cacko 1.21b has perfect Socket Rev. G integration as far as I'm concerned

One more request you might not be able to fulfill:
Could yo umodify the light/power applet to use checkboxes in front of every setting, so you can entirely turn off suspend and screen-saving (which is useless on an LCD) like you can disable the backlight dimming?

You probably mean Light & Power applcation in Settings tab? The answer is - no, still not source code for that app. Also, everything this app configures is controlled by Qtopia, which we don't have sources too...

Have you ever considered using unionfs to merge /mnt/card and /mnt/cf into the root filesystem?  i.e., this would make /mnt/card/usr/bin and /usr/bin both appear as /usr/bin.  I don't know how practical this is, but if done right it could mean that new files generally get added to the sd card but appear as if they are on the root filesystem, without using symbolic links.  This could also mean that the size of the root filesystem could be quite small.

Hello. I'm using a USB Stick with the CFU1 USB adapter of Ratoc systems. Additional I want to use a Iomage JAZ drive with a SCSI/USB adapter. Now I found out, that a USB-SCSI support is missing.  Is it a big deal to add this to the next ROM version? Or can anybody give me some information, how I can add this driver myself?
Thanks a lot for your answer ...

2 questions about next Cacko for Maslovsky :

1°) Do we have chance for a C3000 Version ? I have one if you need infos ?

2°) Due to the lack of Cacko version for C3k, I have only passed mine in english with the mcconvert-0.1a.ipk found on Conics.net .(thanks Brett    )
With tis package, I realized that the size for Handwriting applet is larger than cacko one ? Could you change applet version ? with this one ?

We don't need infos, we need the device
