Re: N800 latest kernel, patch and config
 

In that case I suggest you follow the discussion here:

http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?p=2495

I suppose that stskeeps is still monitoring the maemo forums, but he's more likely to follow the thread on the meego forum than this one.

Re: N800 latest kernel, patch and config
 

I'm there. I already managed to boot my N800 with that 2GB image and that kernel, but (as expected) the touchscreen doesn't work. I'm going to try to build the kernel with these instructions here and then use it with that same image to see what happens. Stskeeps already told me I will have to change an /etc file related to touchscreen calibration...

Re: N800 latest kernel, patch and config
 

I managed to do it... I used git checkout <HASH> to get that previous version pointed out by TheHitcher, then I applied the patch using the git command, and did everything else as specified. I copied the modules by hand not know exactly what I was doing, using stskeeps' Meego image, and it booted.

Touchscreen worked just fine, I read in many places that could be an issue, but I am able to use Xfce. It's only a pity I have no keyboard to test anything else!

Re: N800 latest kernel, patch and config
 

A virtual keyboard maybe? Been trying to get one working in a plain debian install to no avail... but not even having the touch screen working makes it kinda pointless. Have tried ubuntu as well, but all the install guides use packages that are no longer avaliable, guess i'l give meego a try. The reason i suggested using the snapshot from the omap git site was just bandwidth efficiency, you can still use the git commands to apply tmr's patches. Might be worth seeing how much later a commit will still work, i just found the update to 2.6.34-rc3.

Re: N800 latest kernel, patch and config
 

Hi tmr, a question...
Can you share your n800 zImage?

Re: N800 latest kernel, patch and config
 

I don't know if meego will bring some kind of virtual keyboard. I am hoping the 1.1 release will come with a handheld version that offers a virtual keyboard. Right now I am just booting and working via SSH, using the USB for connection. But touchscreen is working already.

I tried using that snapshot first, but I couldn't apply the patch... There is probably a way do download that, and then fix it so the git command will work. But in the end what worked for me was that: cloned the git repo, then checked out that version.

Re: N800 latest kernel, patch and config
 

I got Wi-Fi and the touchscreen to work, but no sound. What could be missing? ALSA reports "no soundcards found".

Re: N800 latest kernel, patch and config
 

...I have seen in a few places on Google that there should be a line "CONFIG_SPI_TSC2301_AUDIO=y" on the config. Many examples of older kernel build have this line, and also other TSC2301 related ones that this config has. Why is this missing from this version? Was there some kind of update, or is there something missing?

Re: N800 latest kernel, patch and config
 

TSC2301 sound driver was removed from the tree some time ago. I'm looking for the latest version to try to update for the current ALSA version... Anyone would like to help?

Re: N800 latest kernel, patch and config
 

i want it too....
