Thanks I've used these instead of Qi. I can use the new kernel with
uBoot but I've noticed some issues:
- The screensaver doesn't really turn off the screen; at the beginning
it set the LCD light to a very low value then I see a white/black
screen but always with the LCD on (if I used "xset s activate" I only
get the brightness to a low value while I don't get any black/white
screen).
- Once the power button stopeed working (so I wasn't able any more to
suspend/resume or turning off my device)
- On the latest boot I had no usb0 up and I wasn't able to connect via
ssh. Using ifconfig/iwconfig from the FR terminal was impossible
(they were hanging as soon as they were launched).
- I wasn't able to get wifi working; using ifconfig/iwconfig/iwlist
tools isn't always easy since they hangs so much.
Has the new stack already been included? There was an HowTo by Werner
to get it; should it be applied?
- Once I tried to resume from suspend reconnecting the USB cable to the
FR I got only the black resume-console-screen with the few resume
lines written there. X wasn't restored and I wasn't able to recover
it from ssh.
- When I run Opendoom (without accelerometers) I get a white/green
screen (similar to WSoD). As soon as I've killed the opendoom process
Xglamo works before; however if I try to rotate the screen I get back
the WSoD until I re-rotate it (this works if I don't run Opendoom
before).
- The touchscreen isn't so usable in some circumstances; for examples
there are so many errors while writing with the illume keyboard (i.e.
when dragging left [to delete] right [to space] up [to change layout]
down [to send a return]). The same with numptyphysics, and using the
illume configuration (while dragging there are unwanted clicks,
generally made in a place quite far from the pressing point)
Using the Tick's touch_test.py I've confirmed them too. The latest
stable touchscreen implementation seems better than this one.
- Qpe often crashes. I noticed it mostly resuming from a suspend, but
it happened also in other circumstances. Launching it from SSH I get
an error like:
AtChat : T : "▒"
Mux : *** mux setup timed out ***
I got also other strange things but I can't remember them now... Btw the
overall work seems pretty good and the phone seems more reponsive.
Of course I've to say that this is not to flash yet for daily usage :/
