10:52.20 | hrw|work | lardman|work: nokia 7110 + some wires? |
10:52.31 | lardman|work | RP: Is this an unusual occurrance - as I have a knackered battery? Or is it worth putting something in to limit the speed of this? |
10:52.50 | lardman|work | hrw|work: Yeah, I was hoping I could just buy a proper one for decent money by now |
10:53.27 | hrw|work | lardman|work: tried brando? laptopforless? |
10:53.31 | XorA | lardman|work: I get that effect |

10:53.56 | hrw|work | http://shop.brando.com.hk/zaurusea_bl08k.php |
10:54.09 | lardman|work | XorA: I was thinking either having asymmetrical limits, or a timer might be better |
10:54.09 | hrw|work | US$87.00 - expensive? |
10:54.25 | hrw|work | US$62.00 for small one |
10:54.42 | lardman|work | £47 |
10:54.48 | lardman|work | not too bad I guess |
10:54.55 | XorA | lardman|work: Im guessing its due to the battery level indication being affected be the drain rate |
10:55.22 | hrw|work | http://www.pdainternalbattery.com/sharppdabattery.html cheap |
10:55.34 | lardman|work | XorA: The battery recovers slightly when the backlight is turned down, so it switches back on, and drops, et cetera |
10:56.01 | lardman|work | hrw|work: Nice :) |
10:56.29 | hrw|work | lardman|work: look at collie picture there |
10:56.42 | lardman|work | hmm |
10:57.09 | lardman|work | Will the 5600 battery fit the c7x0? |
10:57.22 | hrw|work | yes |
10:57.25 | XorA | lardman|work: that looks like my c860 battery |
10:57.26 | hrw|work | its the same one |

10:58.09 | hrw|work | lardman|work: brando add it to battery (as sharp do) |
10:59.10 | lardman|work | But there's a lot of difference between $15 and $87 for a battery |

11:01.56 | hrw|work | hmm.. I was thinking that cxx00 use BL-11 not BL-08 |

11:05.01 | lardman|work | http://conics.net/shp/pda/zaurus-sl-c700/images/sl-acc.html |
11:05.16 | lardman|work | So the cxx00 batteries fit the other clamshells too? |
11:05.26 | lardman|work | Looking at the description for the EA-BL11 |
11:09.00 | hrw|work | ask RP - he has both |
11:13.50 | lardman|work | Conics do the cover for $25 |
11:13.59 | lardman|work | More expensive than the battery :D |
11:14.05 | lardman|work | at lfl |
11:39.08 | RP | lardman|work: Its possible your battery is ok and the power management code is at fault. I also see the strobe effect :-/ |
11:39.50 | lardman|work | RP: My battery is pretty old, so I wouldn't bet on it |
11:40.04 | lardman|work | RP: Plus the strobe effect makes logical sense |
11:40.31 | RP | We probably need to damp the osciallations... |
11:40.55 | hrw|work | I like them ;) |
11:41.06 | lardman|work | Yes, I was wondering whether to make the transition thresholds asymmetrical |
11:41.17 | RP | We could call it a feature :) |
11:41.19 | lardman|work | hrw|work: It was like a mini disco last night ;) |
11:41.43 | lardman|work | Feature for those who aren't epileptic! |
11:42.10 | RP | lardman|work: Since you seem to be able to resproduce, can you tell me how much the battery voltage jumps with the backlight lowered? |
11:42.31 | lardman|work | RP: I can test |
11:42.41 | lardman|work | RP: But it'll have to be this evening |
11:43.10 | RP | lardman|work: no rush. It might be a while before I can patch it anyway. It'd be handy to have the data though |
11:44.07 | lardman|work | It was oscillating around APM_BATTERY_STATUS_LOW I presume, and that's set from the lookup table isn't it? |
11:44.33 | RP | lardman|work: I think so |
11:44.55 | lardman|work | It was about 20% anyway |
11:45.36 | RP | We could probably have the backlight limiter locked on until it saw AC power thinking about it |
11:46.16 | RP | and on AC power, it should do that but does |
11:46.43 | lardman|work | or just set the transition from low to high about 3% higher than the transition from high to low power - though that may require a more complex bit of code |
11:46.47 | hrw|work | RP: what about printk() on screenflash? |
11:47.34 | RP | hrw|work: How many users would see it? |
11:48.17 | hrw|work | RP: 'if you have screenflashes right after charged battery then send dmesg output to us' |
11:48.40 | hrw|work | RP: automatic gathering of debug infos |
11:48.44 | lardman|work | Just means your battery is screwed |
11:49.06 | lardman|work | Mine went from 100 to 40% in less than a minute (admittedly after a very short charge) |
11:49.24 | hrw|work | mine bl-06 can jump from 100 to 60 |
11:49.29 | hrw|work | I'll look now at it |
11:50.21 | lardman|work | The jump happens as the voltage relaxes after the charging, this is why Sharp had their odd table which stayed at 100% for ~1/2 the battery voltage |
11:50.38 | lardman|work | To hide knackered batteries |
11:51.12 | lardman|work | Lunch time, will bring my Zaurus in when I get back |
11:51.19 | poushag | transition thresholds should always be offset a bit - its SOP for controls - |
11:51.48 | hrw|work | my bl-06 has 88% after unplug AC and boot |
11:52.39 | poushag | its called deadband |
11:52.47 | RP | They do take a long time to charge. Just because it says its 100%, doesn't mean its fully charged... |
11:52.54 | RP | The charge light is a better indicator |
11:53.20 | poushag | and without it the climate control in your house and car would be radiply cycling on and off too |
11:56.58 | poushag | (as a professional controls engineer i thought my input might be of value) |

14:30.53 | NAbyss | lardman|work: ah, not good :) |
14:32.51 | lardman|work | RP: Right, I've not added printks yet, but can do, but the oscillations occur between voltages 185 and 183 which correspond to percentages 30 and 25 |
14:33.07 | lardman|work | NAbyss: No, but hopefully it'll be useful |
14:33.54 | lardman|work | hmm, those percentages seem odd... |

14:35.29 | lardman|work | All those percentages seem to be very close together |

14:46.16 | lardman|work | poushag: How does one optimise this then? |
14:46.22 | poushag | lardmanbasically just use a difference in percentages that correspond to twice the granularity of the sensor |

14:46.36 | poushag | ack - fumbled on the kb |
14:47.06 | poushag | lardman: just use a difference in percentages that correspond to twice the granularity of the sensor |
14:47.07 | lardman|work | poushag: There's an additional problem in that the backlight is switched on and off at a certain (low) voltage by the kernel, this causes the voltage to jump back up |
14:47.21 | hrw|work | lardman|work: it means that you need 2.6.16+ for new version |
14:47.38 | lardman|work | poushag: So I need to account for the difference in voltage that the backlight produces |
14:47.41 | hrw|work | lardman|work: v4l1 is obsolete and is going to be removed sooner or later |
14:47.43 | poushag | lardman: right voltage is affected by current drain |
14:48.08 | lardman|work | hrw|work: I couldn't see any difference between them |
14:48.15 | poushag | lardman: and the diff will be bigger at lower battery charge level |

14:51.28 | lardman|work | hrw|work: Will do, just wanted to make sure I wasn't being stupid |
14:51.42 | poushag | lardman: well in any case you need to account for nonlinearities that may be present in the delta v (backlight to no backlight) at different charge levels |
14:52.44 | lardman|work | poushag: In this case I only need to account for the difference at one percentage/voltage threshold as that's the only time the kernel intervenes - that's the way I see it anyway |
14:53.05 | poushag | lardman: because the backlight is also switched off by power management |
14:54.04 | lardman|work | poushag: In that case, should the kernel not report the true voltage/percentage anyway? |

14:56.12 | lardman|work | poushag: Yes, but the userspace pm stuff only alters the backlight depending on a usage timeout, so the voltage doesn't matter |
14:59.01 | poushag | lardman: but doesnt each act independently so that pm will inflence the v which in turn can drive low-batt turnoff (under the right circumctances) |
15:00.09 | poushag | lardman: but maybe it doesnt matter - perhaps it wont result in cyclic behavior - i think i need a flowchart to make sure |

19:15.17 | raduga | but might be able to squeese a little more definition out of a collie screen |
19:17.56 | Interrobang | raduga: nope, the problem isn't the rendering method, it's the limited number of pixel to which to display the information. in fact, the blurring that would result would make text harder to read, not easier. |
19:19.00 | Interrobang | i tried using Xvnc and fbvnc together and even rewriting the scaling code, it actually gets worse the more accurate you make it |
19:19.54 | Interrobang | sometimes text is rendered on odd pixels, so that when you scale it down by 2, 1 pixel of text at the higher resoultion, gets distributed with half its intensity across 2 at the lower resolution |

19:37.51 | raduga | interrobang: at least in theory, subpixel rendering should give you a *little* more resolution, in one direction (depending on how the RGB is laid out) |
19:38.29 | raduga | in that, one standard pixel is actually three R,G,B in close proximity |

19:46.52 | lardman | hmm |
19:47.07 | lardman | we need someone how really wants it, and who can do the work |
19:47.35 | lardman | OT, have you included bl in your gpe images? It's not in .dev |
19:47.44 | hrw | it is in .oz354x |
19:48.50 | lardman | Cool |
19:49.12 | lardman | This split between people adding to different branches is troublesome (at least for me) |
19:49.56 | hrw | I'm concentrated on .oz354x |
19:50.13 | hrw | I do not remember when last time I used .dev to build image |
19:51.02 | lardman | I'm more of a dev man, but it's a shame that stuff isn't propogated more frequently/reliably |
19:52.04 | hrw | bl in .dev need to be discussed with gpe people probably |
19:52.11 | Interrobang | lardman: i checked base x11 and opie directories, but i can't get gpe/Packages. do you have the packages lists on your Z? could you grep atty the lists? |
19:53.27 | lardman | hrw: Yes, but I think they'd be happy to have something which is more inclusive than the current offering |
19:54.13 | lardman | Interrobang: No, I'm on a fresh flah I'm afraid, but if you ask hrw nicely, he might tell you which feed to look in |
19:54.15 | hrw | re |
19:54.36 | hrw | there is no 'gpe' feed in OZ 3.5.4x |
19:54.44 | hrw | gpe stuff is in 'x11' |
19:55.31 | Interrobang | hrw: do you know which feed in which to find mplayer-atty? |
19:55.45 | lardman | hrw: I don't really understand the branching structure we use - I thought that there should be a stable branch into which most stuff goes eventually |
19:55.55 | hrw | machine/c7x0/ or upgrades/machine/c7x0/ |
19:56.06 | lardman | hrw: and dev for bleeding edge, and individual branches for releases |
19:57.09 | lardman | hrw: But I suppose that would require more people/time to sort out |
19:57.44 | lardman | ~lart using dialup |
19:57.57 | lardman | ibot: Not harsh enough |
19:59.53 | lardman | I just came online to try to download my latest build, but it looks like it's going to take hours, so I'll call it quits |
19:59.56 | lardman | night all |
20:01.01 | Interrobang | hrw: i tried machine/c7x0/Packages where it wasn't listed, and upgrades/machine/c7x0/Packages which didn't exist. the ewi.utwente mirror is down and PDAi is always forbidden (wtf?) |
20:01.24 | Interrobang | why is the PDAi mirror always off limits?!!? |
20:03.11 | Interrobang | is any1 able to access the PDAi OZ mirror?? |
20:05.11 | hrw | lardman: .oz354x is branch used for OZ 3.5.4x and I want to have it stable |
20:05.53 | poushag | interrobang: have you tried the opera-mini simulator? |
20:06.22 | Interrobang | lol |
20:08.10 | poushag | http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/operamini/demo.dml |
20:08.38 | poushag | makes most websites very usable (just scrolling up and down with cursor keys) |
20:09.50 | Interrobang | poushag: i was talking about on my desktop, but thx for the idea. |
20:10.07 | Interrobang | i tried google en->en translation as a proxy |
20:10.18 | Interrobang | still can't get ewi or pdai mirrors |
20:10.58 | hrw | ewi is out until resetmonkey reboot it |
20:14.44 | poushag | interrobang: i was going to open a private chat with you about opera - but when it tried it didnt work |
20:17.26 | Interrobang | what client are you using? |
20:17.54 | poushag | chatzilla |
20:18.35 | Interrobang | were you trying to do dcc or just a private message dialog? |
20:18.54 | poushag | i can pm myself but not you |
20:19.25 | Interrobang | are you ure you typed my name right? |
20:19.25 | poushag | i read your pm |
20:19.41 | Interrobang | i can pm myself |
20:20.00 | Interrobang | that does go through the server i believe |
20:20.10 | hobbs | poushag isn't identified |
20:20.11 | poushag | but when i pm to you i get a msg "Private messages from unregistered users are currently blocked due to spam problems, but you can always message a staffer. Please register!" |
20:20.19 | Interrobang | oh |
20:20.27 | Interrobang | you know how to register you nick? |
20:20.36 | poushag | hmmm - i thought i did register it |
20:20.51 | hobbs | poushag: you did, looks like. You're just not identified. |
20:21.23 | Interrobang | hobbs: you can use a registered nick even if you don't enter the password? |
20:21.35 | hobbs | Interrobang: yes, freenode doesn't do automatic booting |
20:21.51 | poushag | weird |
20:21.52 | Interrobang | ...very disturbing... |
20:21.59 | poushag | i wasnt prompted for a pw |
20:22.30 | Interrobang | /msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password> |
20:22.56 | hobbs | look into the SECURE and KILL options |
20:23.05 | hobbs | if you set them both at the same time it will act like most networks |
