[Qi - SHR-U/All?] Pink line of death
Hello, Has anyone seen the 'pink line of death' at any time? My FR sometimes does not suspend, but instead shows a black screen with a pink/purple line at about 33% from the bottom of the screen. The backlight is fully on. Also, the screen is whining. I haven't been able to reproduce it with a known procedure, but it may have to do with rotating the phone during suspend. I also haven't had it in this state on such times that it was possible to SSH into it to see if it was still alive or not. Shall I file a bug report with this meager information?

Maybe it's been fixed ;^) Nope, I reproduced it yesterday evening... I also have OMNewRotate installed, and I suspect it has to do with this behaviour. I'll try to reproduce it again, I am at a PC right now ;-) Christ van Willegen -- 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

At most it has to do with yet another glamo bug, but frequently it happens to me in a straight position (eg, laying on table and turning on), but since I fortunately have OMNewRotate as I turn it it gets fixed.

Re: [Qi - SHR-U/All?] Pink line of death
Ok, I was again able to reproduce this (suspending while rotating). Unfortunately: ssh r...@moko ssh: connect to host moko port 22: No route to host So, the interface was already down (I did do an ifdown / ifup on the port to force it to be up, but alas). No go there. It looks like a Glamo bug, indeed. Rotating the phone, unfortunately, does not work in my case, since it's too far on the path of suspend already! Can I save (some) log files so that they survive a reboot? Perhaps there's a hint somewhere... I'm running off the NAND partition, in case anyone is wondering.

Re: [Qi - SHR-U/All?] Pink line of death
Hi, I've also seen this bug and I've also tracked it down to OMNewRotate. My solution so far was to always disable rotation before going into suspend. Not doing so seems to give a chance of (almost?) 100% failure. Note, that I keep the freerunner strapped in a horizontal position to my belt - so during suspend it will almost certainly be rotated, unless rotate has been switched off. Interestingly there seems to be a step before the pink line is shown: Sometimes when I boot and do not enter the PIN immediately (but still before suspend), the screen is partly garbled (lower 33% of the screen in portrait mode). After suspend, the pink line shows up. Listening to the feeling in my gut, I'd say glamo b0rks screen setup when in a rotated position. Hope this helps to narrow it down. Meanwhile - is there a way to disable OMNewRotate on boot and suspend (i.e. to only enable it manually)?

Re: [Qi - SHR-U/All?] Pink line of death
It's not omnewrotate. If you're lucky, using omnewrotate may help you recover that screen state. All omnewrotate does is infer a position from the accelerometers and using the xrandr API to rotate the screen http://code.google.com/p/omnewrotate/source/browse/trunk/src/omnewrotate.c#264 So if you want a culprit you can look at libxrandr, although I'm looking quite more seriously at that damned glamo chip. As to your last question, just chmod 000 /etc/X11/Xsession.d/*omnewrotate Rui On Mon, Oct 05, 2009 at 10:04:49AM +0200, Andreas Fischer wrote: > Hi, > > I've also seen this bug and I've also tracked it down to OMNewRotate.

Re: [Qi - SHR-U/All?] Pink line of death
As an added info, I've just hit the pink line of death *without* omnewrotate running in the background (it would wreack havok with omneon and horizontal images... like comic strips...
