10:19.45hobbsanyone with a working OE tree want to do me a small favor and see if a more modern musicpd (0.12 or newer) will build with the existing bb?
10:19.52hobbsIt's got Tremor support, and ogg sucks without it ;)
10:22.15hobbs(so yes, you would want to add a depends on "tremor")
10:22.43hrw|workhobbs: you mean mpd/mpc etc?
10:22.58hobbshrw|work: right. Only mpd matters
10:23.01hobbsthe rest don't deal with music
10:23.26hrw|workMPD 0.12.0 RC3 Released
10:24.09hobbssuppose that's it then. Sorry, the source I was reading called it "0.12"
10:25.15hobbsstill it's a major feature improvement
10:30.10hrw|workinteresting addon
10:30.59hobbshmm?
10:32.09hobbsThe standard libvorbis uses floating-point math, which means that it takes a _huge_ amount of processor on arm. Tremor (libvorbisidec) is just a fixed-point decoder
10:32.28hobbslibvorbis can't manage real-time on average music files on an Akita

14:32.45Interrobanghow do you change the resolution to 320x240 (or 240x320) on an akita?  i want to play videos fullscreen but without acceleration vga is too slow
14:37.41hrw|work3541 does not support it iirc
14:38.40Interrobang354 uses the 2.4 kernel right?  that doesn't support hostap very well does it?
14:46.01hrw|work2.4/Oz supports hostap without problems
14:46.45Interrobangdoesn't oz 2.4 use the same kernel as sharp and cacko?  if now does it support bvdd acceleration?
14:46.51Interrobangs/now/not
14:47.57hrw|workOZ supports cxx00 devices only in 3.5.4.1 release
14:48.10hrw|workand it use 2.6 kernel
14:49.19Interrobangi'd really like to play videos at 320x240@30 fps, but without resolution switch, full vga on oz 2.6 kernel is too slow
14:49.49Interrobangso i'm considering using a 2.4 kernel rom and maintaining the packages myself
14:50.02hrw|workfeel free
14:50.24hrw|workyou can also work on getting qvga<>vga switching code working under 2.6 kernel
14:50.37hrw|workthere are patches for it but we did not tested them yet
14:50.41Interrobangbut i'm havign trouble using my sandisk connectplus in cacko which is 2.4, and i'm wondering if oz 2.4 will have the same problem
14:51.10hrw|workwe have those cards working with 2.4.18
14:51.33hrw|worknoone tried them under 2.4.20 (as this kernel is even much worse then 2.4.18-crapix)
14:51.42Interrobangah so there is a difference
14:52.08Interrobangwell, about my 2nd idea...
14:52.54Interrobangi realize no1 official supports using the pdaX 2.6 bvdd kernel patch, but has any1 tried it on the OZ 2.6 kernel?
14:53.19hrw|workpdax patch has nothing common with bvdd
14:53.46hrw|workpdax use pxafb overlay patches from intel
14:54.01hrw|workwe have them in 2.6.17 kernel (current development one)
14:54.04Interrobangso there are 2 kinds of video acceleration for cxx00?
14:54.24Interrobangbvdd and pxafb overlay?
14:54.32hrw|workcxx00 under 2.4 kernel use bvdd and there are packages hacked for it
14:54.59hrw|workcxx00 under 2.6 can use intel pdafb overlay patches but iirc no patched apps exist even in pdax
14:55.46Interrobangare bvdd and pxafb overlay different kinds of video acceleration, or does one encompass the other?
14:55.58hrw|workdifferent
14:57.39Interrobangi always thought video accel on cxx00 worked by special hardware access to the lcd device?  are there difference kinds of accelerated access, like another chip with ati w100 c7x0?
14:58.59hrw|workcxx00 does not have separate gfx chip
14:59.16hrw|workthey use CPU capabilities (which are enough to drive VGA lcd screen)
15:00.38Interrobangi've heard bvdd uses some kind of simd/vector instruction set on the pxa270, is that all it uses?
15:01.28hrw|workI never checked how it works
15:01.33hrw|workI do not have cxx00 machine
15:02.45Interrobangok, sorry to bother you with all these questions.  i experiment and research the rest myself, thanks
15:03.17hrw|workno problem

19:02.29Kristofferis the parameter "o" correct on http://wiki.openzaurus.org/Spitz/Install? On help it says "o = create a new empty DOS partition table" but in howto it says that o should blow away all partitions
19:03.34hobbscreating an empty partition table _is_ blowing away all your partitions
19:03.56Kristofferah, and DOS != msdos right?
19:04.16hobbswell, basically it is
19:04.23KristofferOki
19:04.38hobbsit's just that 99.44% of the linux systems in the world use MSDOS disklabels (aka "partition tables") on their drives
19:05.18agaffneymsdos disklabels are the bane of my existance
19:05.23agaffneyextended/logical partitions--
19:05.49*** join/#openzaurus bronson (n=bronson@66.160.177.211)
19:06.22agaffneynot the easiest things to work with when writing partitioning software
19:07.02hobbsheh
19:07.23hobbsbasically amounts to indirect addressing, right?
19:07.59agaffneyno, it's actually 2 separate partition tables
19:08.10agaffneyone in the first sector that holds 4 partitions
19:08.22agaffneyand then another in the first sector of the extended partition
19:08.27agaffneythat has a different layout
19:08.32agaffneythat can hold up to 64 "logical" partitions
19:08.38hobbsright
19:08.44JustinPyay
19:08.58JustinPok, Spitz/Install "D"+"B" instructions fixed
19:09.27agaffneymac disklabels have their own silliness as well: the partition "map" being a partition itself, unallocated space being "free space" partitions, etc.
19:09.58hobbsagaffney: everything in its place ;)
19:10.18agaffneysun disklabels are "easy" with just the silly whole disk partition
19:10.31agaffneymips gets the whole disk and the "volume header"
19:10.47agaffneynobody can just make it easy :P
19:11.36hobbsI like using labels on my filesystems. Especially now that linux+udev has nifty support for it
19:12.26hobbsinstead of it being userspace haxx in mount and fsck, userspace just checks when it gets the register event for the device, and if hda1 has a filesystem with a label, it gets linked to /dev/disk/by-label/schmoopie
19:13.15agaffneynice
19:15.16KristofferDo I need to create the fs on the microdrive or will the installation process do that for me?
19:15.29hrw|afkneed
19:16.00Kristofferhrw|afk, oki, but theres no mkfs.ext2 inside this shell..
19:16.16hrw|afkignore me
19:16.20Kristofferhrw|afk, will do :D
19:16.21hrw|afkI never saw c3x00
19:19.19KristofferBtw, is it possible to brick a sl-c3200?.. Can one overwrite the maintenance stuff?
19:19.35Kevin`it's not easy to do
19:20.06Kevin`the maintenance stuff isn't part of the flash chip you install things too
19:20.29KristofferAha, really nice.. :D IF this had been an ipaq I would already have managed to brick it
19:20.53Kevin`ya I was worried about that when I first got it
19:21.02Kevin`make a backup of the flash though!
19:21.18Kristofferhow you mean, or rather why?
19:21.31Kevin`maintenance screen has an option for it
19:21.48KristofferOki, this is for the sharprom then?..
19:22.45hobbsKristoffer: it's a function that allows you to back up the entire contents of NAND flash. Loaders, OS, everything
19:22.45Kevin`well I find it useful to be able to restore the flash to a working state.. so the OK menu installer works, for example
19:22.45hobbsKristoffer: which is required for restoring from "not quite bricked" state ;)
19:22.45Kevin`which OZ still uses
19:23.06KristofferOki roger, so basicly the only way to brick a zaurus is to mess up the flash in some way?
19:23.23hobbsKristoffer: nono. Even if you do you're not bricked
19:23.35Kevin`I'm not sure of the rom with the maintenence stuff is writable
19:23.37hobbsKristoffer: there's an app in ROM ROM that can restore the flash
19:23.38KristofferOki so flash and maintenance stuff is get seperate
19:23.42Kristofferlol
19:23.43Kevin`i've never seen a method to read it
19:23.44hobbsKristoffer: if you have such a backup
19:23.59KristofferHeard of anyone bricking their zaurus then?
19:24.13Kevin`well you can brick it by physically breaking things
19:24.19Kevin`writing the flash too much
19:25.01hobbsKristoffer: by the way, just as a disclaimer, none of this applies to the collie or poodle, and I don't know for sure about tosa :)
19:25.28hobbsKristoffer: but the clamshells are unbrickable except by extreme measures ;)
19:26.28Kristofferhobbs, yeah got it. big thx :D Just got Openzaurus installed on it. Piece of cake now
19:26.55hobbson collie, the "loader" that handles reflashing is itself in flash
19:26.55hobbsso it's possible to trash that
19:26.56hvontres|poodlehobbes: actually, poodles are relatively imune to true "bricking" as well... (also has NAND Backup/Restore)... now "pseudo bricking" is another story
19:27.14hobbshvontres|poodle: hmm okay. Handy :)
19:27.24hobbshvontres|poodle: so it was only collie that they put really sucky ROM on ;)
19:27.56hobbsah well. Perils of the early adopter
19:28.04Kristofferbtw, how is the bootloader handled? I mean even if I break stuff on the partition will the bootloader work (like lilo/grub)
19:28.53hvontres|poodlehobbes: hmmm, actually, I need to check... podle has three flash partions, 1st is restore stuff, second / and third /home...
19:29.07hobbsKristoffer: things are a little more low-level here. But yeah, the kernel and some system stuff are stored in their own partition, which makes them relatively difficult to screw up
19:29.33hvontres|poodleso I guess borking the first flash partition might still break a poodle :(
19:29.50Kevin`I recommend you repartition the microdrive before installing
19:29.52hobbshvontres|poodle: that's what I thought but I've never actually used one
19:29.54Kevin`give all space to root
19:30.07Kevin`(default the first partition, hda1)
19:30.55hobbsAkita is such an easy device to install on
19:31.38Kevin`heh at least you don't have to use jtag, or xmodem over a 9600bps serial cable :)
19:33.08Kevin`what's a vnc client for X/gpe on openzaurus?
19:33.17hrwx11vnc?
19:33.26Kevin`thats a server
19:33.55hrwhvontres|poodle: even when you fsck first one you have access to diagnostics iirc
19:34.41hrwKevin`: then I do not know
19:34.51hobbsKevin`: is xvncviewer available?
19:35.05hobbsold-school but it works
19:35.36Kevin`updating package lists..
19:37.02Kevin`no, there is not
19:37.49hobbssorry, don't know offhand. There's something
19:41.27Kristofferany suggestions for good CF-wifi cards?
19:42.06hobbsKristoffer: #1, Ambicom WL1100C. #2, Linksys WCF12
19:42.31KristofferOki, thx. Any motivation?
19:42.54hobbsKristoffer: they're both good bog-standard prism2 cards, both not too cheap
19:43.02hobbsthe ambicom is also rounded and smaller :)
19:43.19hobbss/not too cheap/not too expensive/
19:44.21Kristofferoki thx
19:45.03Kristoffersd wlan cards doesnt work yet right?
19:45.21Kevin`SD is a proprietary format
19:45.33Kevin`luckily they are required to support mmc mode for storage cards
19:56.13KristofferWhat can I run with the usb port (that doesnt require extra hub power)?
