May 12 12:10:55 <Aziroshin> Hello.
May 12 12:12:35 <Aziroshin> I am currently trying to find out a bit of information on how to make specified USB-ports act like a mass storage device. The idea would be to at least create a little script that would make the freerunners USB-port switch between certain roles.
May 12 12:12:50 <Aziroshin> Also, I would find this useful on other mobile hardware such as notebooks.
May 12 12:13:24 <Aziroshin> What I have found so far are references to a so-called "USB gadget API", which doesn't seem to really exist anymore.
May 12 12:13:56 <Aziroshin> Also, it might just be that the gta02 hardware simply wouldn't allow for such.
May 12 12:15:24 <SpeedEvil> It does.
May 12 12:15:50 <SpeedEvil> A USB gadget is a driver that lets the USB device pretend to be an arbitrary device.
May 12 12:17:35 <SpeedEvil> Most notebooks can't do this - their devices are hosts only.
May 12 12:18:02 <Aziroshin> :o
May 12 12:19:11 <Aziroshin> I am currently reseraching on android, hoping to see how they do it, as I've seen it happen there.
May 12 12:19:30 <Aziroshin> I have wanted to do something like that for a little while, though.
May 12 12:19:49 <SpeedEvil> linux/Documentation/usb/gadget* certainly still exists.
May 12 12:20:20 <SpeedEvil> And linux/drivers/usb/gadget/
May 12 12:21:02 <SpeedEvil> For example - mass_storage.c in that directory
May 12 12:21:55 <Aziroshin> I see, thanks.
May 12 12:22:43 <SpeedEvil> I don't know how these are setup from the userspace side though.
May 12 12:24:48 <Aziroshin> It's still at least reassuring. After all, this is just more information that this stuff really is there and probably als is _the_ way of doing this.
May 12 12:25:54 <SpeedEvil> I'm using it daily on my n900.
May 12 12:26:04 <SpeedEvil> Which is even more 'stock' linux than android.
May 12 12:27:26 <Aziroshin> Currently reading into this: http://www.lrr.in.tum.de/Par/arch/usb/linux-usb/gadget
May 12 12:27:37 <Aziroshin> Wondering how much this resembles the current state, as it is like, 6 years old.
May 12 12:29:15 <SpeedEvil> I see a lot of 2003/4 dates in usb gadget driver files.
May 12 12:33:35 <radekp> Aziroshin: https://github.com/radekp/qtmoko/tree/master/devices/neo/src/devtools/scripts
May 12 12:33:50 <radekp> Aziroshin: check the scripts starting with "usb-
May 12 12:34:00 <radekp> Aziroshin: is this what you are looking for?
May 12 12:38:15 <Aziroshin> It might be. Interesting, thanks.
May 12 12:38:39 <Aziroshin> That g_file_storage I've stumbled upon on my google research so far once already.
May 12 12:56:49 <Aziroshin> How is the current distribution situation around the free as in freedom mobile phone sphere?
May 12 12:57:03 <Aziroshin> I have recently installed SHR on my gta02.
May 12 13:40:21 <michelem> hello folks
May 12 13:40:37 <michelem> I'm having some graphic problems with Xorg
May 12 13:41:15 <michelem> X starts fine with no errors (I'm using Driver      "glamo"). icewm starts successfully as well
May 12 13:42:01 <michelem> but when I open applications, I see some squares occurring on the application window
May 12 13:43:17 <michelem> also, navigating through the application, buttons are misdrawn for short intervals, and when exiting the application, the process actually disappears from "ps", but the application's last window remains drawn on the screen
May 12 13:43:42 <michelem> I get this with both icewm and e16. Where shall I look to fix this?
