00:10.11zachOK, after letting my new battery charge for 24 hours, it's still at about 12%... And the charging light just stays on
00:10.34zachI'm guessing it's something to do with the charging circuitry inside the zaurus
00:10.39zachAny ideas?
00:12.44NAbysszach: I've sometimes had that happen.. was the Z on or off?
00:12.52zachOn
00:13.32NAbyssYeah, sometimes it just doesn't charge when it's on, especially during audio playback I've found. I'm not sure if the kernel or zaurusd controls charging...
00:13.45zachI just got off the phone with the 2 sharp repair places, one wants $40 to look at it, and the other was closed
00:14.06NAbysszach: sharp or OZ firmware?
00:14.12zachOZ
00:14.28zachI just installed the Sharp ROM because I thought I was going to send it back
00:15.39NAbyssI'd check if the charging issue is still there with the sharp rom
00:15.50NAbyssIf not.. file a bug - bugs.openembedded.org
00:15.51zachWill do
00:33.52zachWhat does "Charge" in the diagnostic menu do? Just turn the light on, or actually tell the device to charge?
01:20.46NAbyssNo idea.

09:26.39CoreDump|homemorning lardman|work
09:28.27lardman|workhey CoreDump
09:29.42CoreDump|homeRP: Is there an easier way to disable the LCD keys than to either xmodmap "wrong" mappingsto their keycodes or killing of tskeys?
09:30.40lardman|workWhere's hrw today?
09:30.51CoreDump|home* hrw goes to doctor
09:30.54CoreDump|home:\
09:31.14lardman|workah, okay
09:32.17lardman|workhrw|gone: From a quick test, the bt speed is ~294k bits/second. Though this was only using my phone (Sony-Ericsson k750i) so that may be the limiting factor
09:36.51CoreDump|homesigh, there's still no nethack in OE
09:41.28lardman|workCoreDump|home: I saw your post in here: http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=19746&hl=
09:41.40lardman|workCoreDump|home: I've also seen problems with e-image on my c750
09:41.42lardman|workfyi
09:42.06CoreDump|homelardman|work: i know, e17 on everything _but_ c3000 is known not to work
09:42.28lardman|workoh, right
09:42.31CoreDump|homec3000 is the machine used by JustinP to create the image and usually works fine
09:44.12hrwre
09:44.18hrwlardman|work: thx for testing
09:44.20lardman|workhey hrw
09:44.36lardman|workI'll test at home with a bt dongle later on and see what happens
09:55.59RPCoreDump|home: Not really
09:56.38CoreDump|homeRP: thanks, killing tskeys it is then
09:57.34RPCoreDump|home: Out of interest, whats it doing that's annoying you?
09:59.14CoreDump|homeAhh nothing really. Users where complaing that they activate the keys in landscape while trying to pull a slider or clicking some icon. That user and mickeyl suggested disabling the keys in landscape andactiavting them in protrait would be a better default than always-on
09:59.58CoreDump|homeand I share that view. In the long-term this should be a gpe-conf option tho
10:01.44johnXI don't care about the default, just as long as I can turn it back on in landscape
10:02.32CoreDump|home" In the long-term this should be a gpe-conf option tho"
10:02.51johnXgood enough for me
10:02.57CoreDump|home;)
10:03.05johnXBTW, the new zaurusd that runs scritps from landscape.d, portrait.d, etc looks nice
10:03.31CoreDump|homeyep, makes exploiting zaurusd's functions a lot easier
10:03.32johnXI guess it really shows how geeky I am when I think about all the cool things I want to have it do on lid events
10:03.58CoreDump|homewell, for starters it turns off the bloody backlight now hehe
10:04.08johnXwoo!
10:04.14johnXmy ugly hack can die in peace now
10:04.22CoreDump|homeyeah
10:04.46CoreDump|homethe next step is to allow "apm -s" on lid-close but that will be off by default
10:05.07CoreDump|homeas I (and many others) hate it =)
10:05.14johnXagreed
10:05.41CoreDump|homeyet another good target for a gpe-conf option

10:07.08johnXI don't mind doing the config by command line / text file editing
10:07.23johnXI'm still not sure if I trust these new-fangled GUIs the kids have these days
10:07.28CoreDump|homehehe
10:07.53CoreDump|homeUsers like shiny clickable buttons to do that kind of thing =)
10:09.16johnXI think I'll write a lid close script to map the ok/cancel/scroll wheel by the power jack to do audio functions and map them back to default when the Z goes to landscape
10:10.12CoreDump|homenow that's a nice idea
10:10.47CoreDump|homeyou could patch the player's ipk and have these scripts installed by default =)
10:10.59johnXhmm
10:10.59RPThe whole idea was to allow this all to be configurable. zaurusd just set the stage and it needs someone to implement the userspace configuration nicely :)
10:12.30johnXactually, I could just have the keys generate "XF86AudioPlay, etc" like multimedia keys on a fancy keyboard do on desktop Linux
10:12.56johnXthen it's the user's responsibility to bind those keys to actions
10:13.25johnX(or the default config for the music player included in the .ipk)
10:13.25CoreDump|homejohnX: that would be pointless as $USER knows nothin about binding keys
10:13.39CoreDump|homeand it would break those keys since they no longer do anything
10:14.15CoreDump|homeah yeah, that would be perfect
10:14.21johnXsave what they are now, map when the lid is closed, map back to default on lid open
10:14.28CoreDump|homeindeed
10:15.05CoreDump|homeso mplayer, xmms & friends could all use the keys since the binding is generic to "Play, Stop, FWD, BW" etc
10:15.57CoreDump|homeRP: I have the problem that sometimes zaurusd doesn't detect a lid-open -> lid-close change
10:17.25RPCoreDump|home: A problem with the hardware switches not seeing the event or something in zaurusd is broken?
10:18.10CoreDump|homethe latter, I made sure the "keys" were not pressed when open. Kinda hard to reproduce at will tho
10:18.44RPDid the events make it out the kernel?
10:19.01RP(i.e. did switchevd see them?)
10:19.24CoreDump|homethat I can't say. What I do know is that the hinge script was not run at all
10:20.04CoreDump|homeI'll check the switch thingy next time I get the bug

10:24.10johnXto turn off and restore backlight on lid events are you just cat'ing the brightness value somewhere and setting backlight to 0, then catting it back on lid open?
10:24.23CoreDump|homeno
10:24.27CoreDump|homebl on / bl off
10:24.32johnXah
10:24.38CoreDump|homebl is in th default image now, it wasn't before
10:24.56hrwhttp://handhelds.org/scap/port.1985.png - qtopia apps under  OPIE :)
10:25.16johnXheh
10:25.27CoreDump|homebl off uses /sys/$SOMEFANCY/PATH/state IIRC
10:26.12CoreDump|homejohnX: the new helper script is in the "bl" package in case you were looking for it
10:26.19johnXgreat
10:26.53CoreDump|homehrw: opie on VGA is a waste IMO ;)
10:27.20johnXI still want something equivalent to notez in GPE (and on the desktop!)
10:28.00hrwI have to find time to finish opie-notes (which based on notez)
10:28.51johnXI went on a massive "adventure" the other day trying to make gnome-python work so I could use gjots2, but I gave up for now
10:34.37pgaspdaxrom's users seems to like tuxcards (qt though)
10:34.59johnXI'll look at it
10:35.36johnXin my initial search I limited myself to things that were C/gtk, then looked at */gtk, but at this point I really don't care as long as it works...
10:36.19NAbyssCoreDump|home: Yeah, OPIE does seem to be targeted at 320x240 far too much
10:42.39pgashrw: in case you want to buy an A300
10:43.04pgasit's possible to buy yahoo auction via some people on zaurusfr
10:43.23hrwpgas: currently I decided to skip it
10:43.26pgasvia a company that takes 10% + shipping
10:43.55pgashrw: np, the info was just in case
10:44.01hrwthx
10:44.27CoreDump|homehrw: what do you think about having the Mail LED flash on lid-close when the unit is not suspended?
10:44.54XorAhrw: just sent my response to kismet email
10:44.57hrwCoreDump|home: no - we already told people that mail led means 'nand usage'
10:45.10CoreDump|homei c
10:45.27CoreDump|homewell, PWR LED works just as well
10:46.55CoreDump|homeignore that, doesn't work w/ the pwr led
10:50.51CoreDump|homeRP: the amber LED doesn't honor the "timer" trigger. Is that intended?

11:00.06RPThis wasn't realised until well into the driver design so I've just ignored it. There is nothing we can do anyway...
11:00.22CoreDump|afkRP: thanks ;)
11:01.09CoreDump|afkWell, I'd like to give "some" feedback that the device is still turned on when the lid is closed :\
11:01.34RPCoreDump|afk: I see no isse with abusing the mail light for several things but it will confuse users...
11:02.09CoreDump|afkI know heh
11:03.42pgasuse morse code to convey more meaningfull messages to the user :P

11:05.22johnXI think it would be more standardized to encode ASCII into binary and echo it out the LED
11:05.28johnXwe could do unicode eventually
11:05.36CoreDump|afkhehe
