Re: A disturbance in the force?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I guess, that it is a driver issue. The open drivers have to be done by reverse engeneering (at least until somwhere round february) and the proprietary drivers have many bugs. I hope things will get better since the documentation has been made open by AMD.

A disturbance in the force?
Once today, while my FreeRunner was plugged in on USB, I tapped the screen to wake it up, and it came up, but all the pixels in text were jiggly, as though the screen were being refreshed at the wrong rate. When I called up the qwerty keyboard, it appeared quite scrambled. Sadly I didn't have a video camera trained on it at the time, and by the time I whipped out my pocket video camera, it had gone into suspend mode; when I hit the power button to awaken it, the problem was gone! I know it's not my eyesight :-) This really happened. But only once. I'll make sure I have the video camera handy in case it comes back, although, recording a 640x480 video of the freerunner will be pretty grainy and probably won't accurately show the problem (due to things like refresh rates)... Sigh. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
