**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Jan 08 02:59:58 2013 Jan 08 13:45:39 is there anything that can be done about the "GTA04 imprecise touchscreen" issue (#1850)? Jan 08 13:45:45 does every gta04 have that? Jan 08 13:46:04 mhanne, yes, install tslib and use the patch from the ml Jan 08 13:46:14 (xorg.conf patch) Jan 08 13:46:44 I don't remember on which ml it was posted, and I'm working right now Jan 08 13:46:45 sorry Jan 08 13:48:04 GNUtoo-x60: ah, thank you! Jan 08 13:48:19 i guess this one http://lists.shr-project.org/pipermail/shr-devel/2012-November/004179.html Jan 08 13:48:29 JaMa, what should we do about imprecise touchscreen on GTA04? Jan 08 13:48:43 yes it's that patch Jan 08 13:48:58 you need to opkg install xf86-input-tslib Jan 08 13:49:25 fixing kernel driver would be the best IMHO Jan 08 13:49:34 ok Jan 08 13:49:46 but that's up to neil Jan 08 13:49:53 and everybody uses tslib Jan 08 13:49:59 including neil I guess Jan 08 14:46:04 JaMa, beside I've no time to fix it right now, I'm deep into calypso for now Jan 08 14:49:54 hm, is it normal that x complains about missing "void" driver? (EE) Failed to load module "void" (module does not exist, 0) Jan 08 14:50:30 mhanne, hmmm maybe remove that part in xorg.conf Jan 08 14:50:35 the void part Jan 08 14:52:33 JaMa, btw does otavio's firefox patch work on target? Jan 08 14:52:41 because if so that would be so great Jan 08 14:52:42 ok, now that error is gone, but the ui still doesn't react to touch.. Jan 08 14:53:19 ok, maybe I should try Jan 08 14:53:25 but I can't right now Jan 08 14:55:19 maybe i messed something up.. i'm on a self-built image currently.. let me try with a release image Jan 08 14:57:35 ok Jan 08 14:57:53 I'm on self-built images too Jan 08 15:05:05 GNUtoo-x60: I haven't tried in runtime Jan 08 15:05:10 otavio said he will Jan 08 15:07:53 ok Jan 08 15:28:31 nice, on the release image it worked Jan 08 15:28:42 :) Jan 08 15:29:14 maybe you could link to the patch in the ticket real quick? Jan 08 15:29:24 http://shr-project.org/trac/ticket/1850 Jan 08 17:25:23 mhanne, ok Jan 08 18:41:43 GNUtoo-x60: thanks Jan 08 18:41:53 now i got it to work on my own image too :) Jan 08 18:43:37 ok Jan 08 18:43:47 is the touchscreen better? Jan 08 18:45:57 yes, now it works perfectly Jan 08 18:47:08 but this should be fixed soon, together with the usb network not autostarting, it effecively prevents one from doing anything... Jan 08 18:50:23 i don't know oe/bitbake very well (or at all).. how would i go about having xf86-input-tslib installed by default in an image? Jan 08 18:53:09 it is built already, just need to put it in the image (or cause opkg install to be run) Jan 08 19:40:51 mhanne, look in the machine config Jan 08 19:41:05 like meta-smartphone/meta-openmoko/conf/machine/gta04.conf Jan 08 19:41:38 mhanne, for the usb0 you need to copy other machines Jan 08 19:41:39 GNUtoo-x60: ah yes, there i just added tslib Jan 08 19:41:43 like for gta02 Jan 08 19:42:04 mhanne, after adding tslib you need to bump a PR Jan 08 19:42:31 there is an task/packagegroup that pulls the XSERVER and such Jan 08 19:42:44 ah, great, that answers the question i was about to ask :D Jan 08 19:44:26 and for usb0 look at how it's done on gta02, there is something to do it in meta-openmoko, let me find it Jan 08 19:44:59 meta-smartphone/meta-openmoko/recipes-core/systemd/systemd-machine-units Jan 08 19:45:08 do something like that for the gta04 Jan 08 19:45:53 for the packagegroup since we use layer bump that: Jan 08 19:46:23 hmmm let me find it Jan 08 19:46:57 packagegroup-core-x11-xserver.bb Jan 08 19:47:05 is in oe-core Jan 08 19:47:14 but to bump it don't change it there Jan 08 19:47:20 instead change it here: Jan 08 19:47:51 ./meta-openmoko/recipes-graphics/packagegroups/packagegroup-core-x11-xserver.bbappend Jan 08 19:48:16 change PRINC := "${@int(PRINC) + 1}" into PRINC := "${@int(PRINC) + 2}" Jan 08 19:48:19 mhanne, ^^^ Jan 08 19:48:26 now I must fix that sercomm Jan 08 19:48:36 oh, wow.. not sure i follow... isn't recipes-core the same for gta02/4? Jan 08 19:49:16 ? Jan 08 19:49:31 do you know what a bbappend is? Jan 08 19:49:40 basically we have layers Jan 08 19:50:04 and when you use a bbappend it concatenate the original recipe with what you put in the bbappend Jan 08 19:50:49 ah ok that bit is clear Jan 08 19:51:34 but shouldn't the only thing i need to change be the conf/machine/gta04.conf? Jan 08 19:52:35 no, because you need to tell that the package output changed and that it needs to be rebuilt, and upgraded on target Jan 08 19:52:59 basically the PR bump means package revision bump Jan 08 19:53:22 if the PR is higher opkg detects in on your gta04 and opkg upgrade will get the upgrade Jan 08 19:53:35 it will also tells bitbake to rebuild the package to the more recent version Jan 08 19:54:23 hm yea.. but doesn't MACHINE_KERNEL_PR in gta04.conf do that too? Jan 08 19:55:03 sorry if i'm missing something obvious here, it's the first time i got this shr build to work at all Jan 08 19:56:55 yes but it's only for the kernel recipe Jan 08 19:57:09 here you are upgrading a meta-package Jan 08 19:57:14 it's clearly not the kernel Jan 08 19:57:28 mhanne, I'm happy to help.... Jan 08 20:17:36 yay, now it uses the updated xorg.conf :) Jan 08 20:18:01 GNUtoo-x60: thanks a lot for your help! i'll look into the usb issue later, gotta go now Jan 08 20:18:53 ok thanks a lot for working on gta04 Jan 08 22:20:04 Do we know what is needed to fix evdev so tslib is no longer needed? I thought I remembered something about the ADC on gta04 being different Jan 08 22:22:07 It would be nice to have a new shr-staging with either tslib or a fixed evdev so my install would be less hacked. I'm reluctant to report bugs right now as my install is so hacked. Jan 08 23:23:51 jeepingben, we know what broke it Jan 08 23:24:09 I think it's a patch by neil brown which removed debouncing Jan 08 23:25:06 I'm looking at it a little. http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git;a=commit;h=84005eb5ea2939d448047fcf6924b3b9b6ed974d this commit sounds interesting Jan 08 23:25:37 I am trying to build now with a lower max_rt Jan 08 23:27:13 it looks like that value is left as default in the gta04 board file Jan 08 23:45:52 wow Jan 08 23:45:58 ok Jan 08 23:45:59 good Jan 08 23:51:18 wow, much better with max_rt of 1024 Jan 08 23:51:25 default was 4096? Jan 08 23:53:34 no idea what the default was Jan 08 23:53:47 please send the patch to neil brown on the gta04 mailing list Jan 08 23:54:30 I am trying other values, it still isnt as good as tslib, but I can type a sentence on the illume keyboard without wanting to throw gta04 across the room Jan 08 23:54:42 ok wow Jan 08 23:55:03 also are you aware of the keyboard settings Jan 08 23:55:07 in illume Jan 08 23:55:13 to make it a bigger keyboard Jan 08 23:55:40 I remember something about that, but I don't understand how it could grow, the keyboard is full width Jan 08 23:57:05 in height Jan 08 23:57:12 go in the illume settings Jan 08 23:57:16 and find the keyboard setting Jan 08 23:57:29 it will gros like that: Jan 08 23:58:00 http://wiki.freesmartphone.org/upload/1/12/NexusS.JPG Jan 08 23:58:03 *grow Jan 08 23:58:19 and will become much more usable Jan 09 00:03:17 jeepingben, sorry I've to go to sleep Jan 09 00:05:16 no problem, my wife is home, I need to cook **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Jan 09 02:59:59 2013
