20:25.25JustinPwhat bluetooth adapters are people using with Linux?
20:41.07JustinPwould be nice to know if any of the newer ones work....there is only one list of supposedly working devices and newer ones seem not to be listed

22:14.12CoreDump|homere
22:14.49JustinPCoreDump|home: I don't suppose you use bluetooth with your Z(s)?
22:15.24CoreDump|homeI did in the past but mostly for fun. Nothing serious
22:15.50JustinPI was thinking of trying to use A2DP (Stereo headset) but haven't found anything conclusive...
22:16.02JustinPno idea which adapter may or may not work for it in Linux, etc
22:16.04CoreDump|homethat I never tried
22:16.40JustinPwell, seems like it's still in work-around-esque mode
22:16.47JustinPbluetooth-alsa project purports to support a2dp
22:16.54CoreDump|homeI used a BT mouse on Akita, and IIRC used a BT dongle to connect via a BT -> LAN gateway to the internat
22:16.58JustinPbut I have no idea if the dongle needs specific support for it
22:17.06*** join/#openzaurus beta_max (i=betamax@gateway/tor/x-83c7ef07f6456a4f)
22:17.21CoreDump|homecan't help you with that :\
22:17.28CoreDump|homewould be interesting for neo1973 tho

22:20.17JustinPhttp://www.elfa.se/elfa-bin/setpage.pl?http://www.elfa.se/elfa-bin/dyndok.pl?lang=dk&vat=0&dok=11570.htm apparently works in Zaurii and is Bluetooth 2.0/USB 2.0
22:20.27JustinP(of course the Z is USB 1.1, but that's beside the point)
22:20.41JustinPI kind fo doubt you need a2dp HW support....but then again who knows?
22:21.05CoreDump|homehmmm
22:21.10CoreDump|homeI dunno
22:21.17CoreDump|homenever thought about it
22:23.27LaibschCoreDump|home: Am I correct to assume that altboot is not working in angstrom right now?  Is there a future for altboot or has it been outlived?
22:23.32Laibschin 2.6 kernel that is
22:23.46CoreDump|homeoh there is a future
22:23.56CoreDump|homebut currently my time is rather limited
22:24.08Laibschyes, I understand
22:24.09CoreDump|homehvontres|poodle: was working on it ;)
22:24.19LaibschI was thinking aboutt the general direction
22:24.40LaibschCoreDump|home: But he was working on kexec, right?  I thought that with kexec altboot is not needed anymore?
22:25.00CoreDump|homeLaibsch: kexec is still needed
22:25.13CoreDump|home(as the Z's kernel has a fixed CMDLINE)
22:25.18Laibschno, the other way round
22:25.28LaibschI was wondering if altboot will still be needed
22:25.38LaibschBut seeing your earlier answer I assume yes
22:25.42CoreDump|homeahh yes
22:25.54CoreDump|homealtboot can optionally use kexec after hvontres|poodle changes
22:26.02JustinP?
22:26.10Laibschso what will it add to plain kexec?
22:26.12JustinPaltboot has been working fine with kexec for me for a long time
22:26.23CoreDump|homeJustinP: but you hacked your own scripts
22:26.25summatusmentishow does angstrom boot, if not w/ altboot?
22:26.42JustinPCoreDump|home: I did? I'm using the kexec option in altboot...I just turned off the disabling
22:26.53CoreDump|homeJustinP: haha
22:26.55LaibschJustinP: I still have to understand your mail.  A doc on this would surely be nice.  I want to get altboot functionality back.  It was a lifesaver.
22:26.55JustinPI like how I choose a kernel, then choose an image
22:27.01CoreDump|homethat was never intended to work lol
22:27.14CoreDump|homegood if it does for you =D
22:27.15JustinPworks just fine
22:27.20JustinPLaibsch: which mail?
22:27.29Laibschin the mailing list
22:27.48Laibschyou replied to my question of how you got different images to boot on the same machine
22:28.05*** join/#openzaurus Timelord (n=TL@16.8c.d12c.cidr.airmail.net)
22:28.11JustinPah...ok ;-)
22:28.48CoreDump|homesummatusmentis: altboot just intercepts the normal init boot-up of the distribution and lets the user do some funky stuff (like kexec, change the rootfs on the fly, boot loop-images etc) but your distro could just as well boot w/o any altboot installed
22:29.40summatusmentisCoreDump|home: ok, so there's not really a bootloader? or does OZ package a bootloader, and altboot?
22:29.47summatusmentiss/OZ/angstrom
22:30.05CoreDump|homethe real bootloader is on (sort-of) read-only ROM
22:30.39CoreDump|homethe bootloader boots the kernel, which mounts the flash drive and runs /sbin/init
22:30.40summatusmentishence the flashing
22:31.52*** join/#openzaurus marcan (i=1337@198.Red-83-54-248.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net)
22:32.24CoreDump|homethe bootloader is basically the "BIOS" of the Z and is read-only AFAIK. Or the maintenace menu is r/o, or both....whatever =)
22:32.44summatusmentisCoreDump|home: ok, I'm lost
22:32.50summatusmentiswhatever, the point is, my Z will boot right?
22:32.57CoreDump|homeof course
22:33.03CoreDump|homealtboot is 100% optional
22:33.12hvontres|poodleLaibsch: My current addition to altboot is a script that looks in the /mmcblk0p1/boot and lists available zImage files and allows the user to pick which one to boot.
22:33.24*** join/#openzaurus Timelord (n=TL@16.8c.d12c.cidr.airmail.net)
22:33.41summatusmentisCoreDump|home: ok, thats all I'm worried about at this point, building an angstrom image for the first tie
22:33.58hvontres|poodleLaibsch: unfortunately, it still requires custom zImage files until the kexec can twiddle the cmdline
22:35.32JustinP(bluetooth) In the spec PDF of the adapter I linked above the audio protocols (SCO, eSCO) are listed in the bluetooth stack section. I take this to mean that the bluetooth stack implements the protocols and therefore if I can get a stack that supports it the dongle should work.
