| 01:14.54 | fishhead | why are we trying to make it act like a desktop? |
| 01:25.14 | sunrunner20 | ? |
| 01:27.34 | GPSFan | fishhead: we are not, we are investigating an issue with a usb kbd connected to a usb card. |
| 01:49.54 | joe_bleau | Stupid newbie question: does the very same card+keyboard work in another system, such as a PC? |
| 01:50.00 | joe_bleau | What about on a ppc linux system? |
| 01:58.40 | sunrunner20 | . |
| 01:58.57 | sunrunner20 | joe_bleau: drivers |
| 01:59.13 | sunrunner20 | bios may not support usb |
| 01:59.14 | sunrunner20 | ohhh |
| 01:59.22 | sunrunner20 | it does have a bios, right? |
| 02:12.08 | joe_bleau | sunrunner20: I meant, does this same card + keyboard combo work in a pc running roughly the same version kernel? |
| 02:13.06 | joe_bleau | I don't see the relevance of a PC bios |
| 02:13.52 | sunrunner20 | drivers will differ accross hardware platforms |
| 02:13.55 | sunrunner20 | maby an irq differance |
| 02:13.58 | sunrunner20 | who knows |
| 02:31.33 | GPSFan | it's an interesting problem, if we were just trying to make the board act as a desktop, well it works under X... stop here. |

| 02:34.34 | fishhead | take older videro card with vesa feature connector |
| 02:34.41 | fishhead | you can drive old laptop tft lcd with it |
| 02:38.43 | fishhead | I wanna write or find some generic serial graphics libary dos dos |
| 02:38.48 | fishhead | so you can take a old laptop |

| 04:20.38 | GPSFan | ah that may be it. I've peen putting printk's in the keyboard stuff, so far the handle_scancode function in /drivers/char/keyboard.c is getting the keypresses, but ins't able to translate them into scancodes. |
| 04:24.13 | jbevren | strange |
| 04:24.19 | jbevren | so the kernel has no keymap? |

| 04:34.05 | GPSFan | lots of other boards have their own ppc_md.kbd_xxxxx routines. seems like arch/ppc/4xx_io/stb_kb.c is where our routines are, and they use raw for what comes in, which I don't think is right. |

| 05:03.50 | GPSFan | still can't find where the keyboard translation routine is, but it is returning 0 for the scancode of any key that is pressed. |
| 05:04.16 | jbevren | can you swap it for the one for x86? |
| 05:04.20 | jbevren | its a x86 usb keymap.. hehe |
| 05:04.38 | jbevren | hm or powermacs |
| 05:04.44 | jbevren | x86 is opposite-endian |
| 05:06.00 | GPSFan | if I can figure out what/how the translate routine is specified, I can probably set it to mac_hid_kbd_translate |

| 18:44.07 | prpplague | GPSFan: it appears to not be working |
| 18:45.16 | GPSFan | nod |
| 18:49.48 | GPSFan | jbevren: It seems that there is a general problem in the 2.4 kernel when there isnt a keyboard defined in .config (CONFIG_PC_KEYBOARD is not set) or there isn't a specific keyboard defination in the platform. ie pc_md.kbd-setkeycode/getkeycode/translate/unexpected_up/leds/init_hw are NULL, so no translation gets done, and USB keyboards produce nothing. |
| 18:50.53 | GPSFan | I'm trying to figure out hoe to add such a platform defination for the DHT board to use an MAC like HID translation table. |
| 18:52.21 | GPSFan | I did try enabling the CONFIG_PC_KEYBOARD, but during bootup the kernel trys to init the non-existant ps2 kbd, and hangs. |
| 18:52.21 | jbevren | where there isnt a keyborad defined..? |
| 18:52.22 | jbevren | confusing |
| 18:52.40 | jbevren | usb keyboard support isnt a keyboard? |
| 18:52.44 | jbevren | stupid kernel people |
| 18:53.46 | GPSFan | I don't really understand, but the path that the keypress takes through the kernel code stops when the call to the translation function returns "0". |
| 18:55.51 | GPSFan | those routines are defined (in our case) in arch/ppc/kernel/ppc_4xx_setup.c but unless CONFIG_VT && CONFIG_PC_KEYBOARD are both true, the routines are NULL. |
| 18:56.33 | GPSFan | and if they are both defined, the kernel hangs trying to init the PS2 kbd. |
| 18:58.18 | GPSFan | other platforms define those routines for other keyboards. ADB, HID, PCIR, among others. |
| 18:59.03 | GPSFan | I guess one problem might be that the walnut had a ps2 like interface through its fpga. |

| 19:34.00 | GPSFan | jbevren: don't know, I was thinking of doing what I did with the A3000, ie making a kernel patch to vanilla just for it. then porting to 2.4.31/2 then ripping out the walnut specific stuff and adding the DHT specifics. maybe not quite in that order. |

| 20:59.35 | J4k3 | STFU |
| 21:02.05 | fishhead | makeme |
| 21:04.30 | sorphin | uh |
| 21:04.54 | sorphin | J4k3: something going on? |
| 21:05.10 | fishhead | sophin no j4k3 is just a friend of mine I invited here |
| 21:05.16 | fishhead | and he has mood swings more than I do |
| 21:06.16 | sorphin | fishhead: I know who J4k3 is |
| 21:06.39 | fishhead | sorphin btw did you order one of those ppc boards |
| 21:06.46 | fishhead | I was yelling about for the last few weeks |
| 21:07.22 | sorphin | no |
| 21:08.21 | fishhead | ah ok :) |
| 21:08.38 | fishhead | I know the feeling once I get some tables and stuff to burn in test stuff |
| 21:08.47 | fishhead | I am probably going to sell some project parts off |
| 21:08.51 | fishhead | getting old :/ |
| 21:09.02 | fishhead | hey sorphin www.lcdinfo.com |
| 21:09.11 | sorphin | 2 dct5ks, 2 A3000s, 2 webpals, 2 iopeners, 1 websurfer pro, 2 wrt54g's |
| 21:09.12 | fishhead | their forums are awesome tons of hacks for old lcd's |
| 21:09.23 | fishhead | like nokia phone lcd hacks |
| 21:09.23 | sorphin | cool, i'll check it out sometime |
| 21:09.29 | fishhead | so you can try a old lcd off a cell phone etc |
| 21:09.34 | sorphin | right |
| 21:09.53 | fishhead | nice cheap way for a headless server or embed device to just tell you its health once in a while :) |
| 21:09.59 | sorphin | indeed |
| 21:10.19 | fishhead | they also have a hack that uses a vesa feature connector on older video cards to drive a tft lcd from a old laptop |
| 21:10.30 | fishhead | it's either 16 or 256 colors max but still I know of uses for this :P |
| 21:10.35 | sorphin | heh |
| 21:10.37 | sorphin | interesting |
| 21:11.19 | fishhead | car pc mp3 player, crap like that :P |
| 21:12.12 | fishhead | and I just happen to have a few lcd's from dead laptops |
| 21:13.13 | sorphin | only thing i'd possibly even use an LCD for in the Z is for a reverse camera since it's so hard to see when backing up w/ the top up |
| 21:13.42 | fishhead | heheh |
| 21:13.53 | sorphin | major blind spots |
| 21:14.10 | fishhead | wonder if I can snatch the data going to the crontel chip on the webpal and drive a lcd |
| 21:14.16 | fishhead | probably not |
| 21:20.18 | fishhead | I should get you guys to implement my idea and we all could sell a patent licence or something :P |
| 21:20.43 | fishhead | or just do it for fun |
| 21:20.54 | fishhead | I want to make a 1:1 floppy drive replacement with some kinda flash |
| 21:21.10 | fishhead | granted it would only be 1.44 meg max but it would do full device emulation and booting |
| 21:21.25 | fishhead | *NOT* for a normal pc or a server or something you can upgrade to flash support |
| 21:21.41 | fishhead | but for legacy systems and embedded and industral settings where the machine can not be replaced |

| 21:29.49 | fishhead | I saw them the other day $6 I think |
| 21:30.16 | J4k3 | yep |
| 21:30.51 | fishhead | I found the screen for my mom's palm for $5 online |
| 21:30.56 | fishhead | and same one I need for my old one |
| 21:31.11 | fishhead | so I think I am going to fix mom's then if I repair my old IIIxe give it to my dad |
| 21:31.16 | fishhead | but it needs a rom hack |
| 21:31.21 | fishhead | to repair the flash |
| 21:31.40 | fishhead | hmm |
| 21:31.49 | fishhead | both their birthdays coming up and my sister's his sunday |
| 21:31.52 | fishhead | and I am broke :/ |
| 21:32.47 | sorphin | same model #, but not same lcd, completely... stupid sony |
| 21:33.05 | fishhead | yeah well this isn't much of a loss if it doesn't work ou |
| 21:33.06 | fishhead | t |
| 21:33.13 | fishhead | it's funny the story |
| 21:33.16 | fishhead | my IIIxe died |
| 21:33.25 | fishhead | so I borrowed my mom's IIIx almost the same just less ram |
| 21:33.27 | fishhead | dropped it |
| 21:33.30 | fishhead | broke the screen |
| 21:33.38 | fishhead | so I took the one off mine and gave it back to her |
| 21:33.44 | fishhead | 2 weeks later she drops it |
| 21:33.45 | fishhead | :P |
| 21:33.56 | sorphin | doh |
| 21:34.13 | sorphin | that's how the original screen on this camera bit the dust |
| 21:34.20 | sorphin | my wife's dad dropped the camera |
| 21:34.37 | sorphin | i'd like to find if there's any way to tweak the lcd |
| 21:34.44 | sorphin | to get the image all the way on |
| 21:34.50 | sorphin | it's shifted to the right |
| 21:35.02 | fishhead | my friend who is a linux hacker |
| 21:35.10 | fishhead | he once had like 20 hd's on a pc |
| 21:35.22 | fishhead | he would hack tons of isa cards etc to share interrupts |
| 21:35.26 | fishhead | slow but massive storage |
| 21:35.31 | sorphin | heh |
| 21:35.46 | fishhead | he I think had a laptop with a damaged display and he hacked X to shift off the broken side |
| 21:36.07 | sorphin | well, this would have to be a hw hack |
| 21:36.25 | fishhead | I would paste on the lcdinfo forum |
| 21:36.50 | fishhead | they are passionate about lcd hacks I just found that site a few days ago by accident and I was like kenno revees |
| 21:36.53 | fishhead | WHOA! |
| 21:38.30 | fishhead | if anyone knows someone near pennsylvania that is looking for a complete ibm pc jr as a collector's item, let me know |
| 21:38.37 | fishhead | otherwise it's a worthless piece of shit |
| 21:38.51 | fishhead | the keyboard is a nmi interrupt = modem dies when you type |
| 21:38.54 | fishhead | no dma on the floppy |
| 21:39.01 | fishhead | no standard ports or expansion slots |
| 21:39.57 | fishhead | going to start purging usless equipement here unless I think somone wants it, I will probably let some stuff go free just for shipping or a trade mabye a some ram sticks I need etc |
| 21:45.52 | jbevren | whew |
| 21:46.02 | jbevren | you'd think that tapping 12" squares of carpet down is easy work |
| 21:46.02 | jbevren | hehe |
| 21:46.09 | jbevren | but after 6 packs of 20 you get warm |
| 21:46.46 | sorphin | hehe |

| 21:47.30 | sorphin | heh |
| 21:47.38 | jbevren | not that it matters, if I get a piece dirty, you just pull it out, clean it with soap and veggie brush, and stick it back down |
