Re: OpenMoko Webcam
Hello, This is just a quick question but I wonder if this is my area of concern : 1) apt-get source linux-image-2.6.24-openmoko-gta02 2) modify linux-2.6-openmoko-20081103.git7172ec57/defconfig-gta02 by hand or with menuconfig 3) sudo apt-get build-dep linux-image-2.6.24-openmoko-gta02 4) fakeroot apt-get --build source linux-image-2.6.24-openmoko-gta02 5) sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.24-openmoko-gta02*.deb When I execute the above commands, running command 3 downloads the sources and unpacks them - is this overwriting the changes I have made to defconfig-gta02 and causing the kernel to compile with the standard options again - without my additions to tell it to compile the video4linux drivers? Thanks again.

Hello, Whne I scan through the list of file in the package I cannot see the modules for the video for linux installed, however the config file definitely has the option for that turned on.

This starts up and gives me the following: --- debian-gta02:/usr/src/linux-2.6-openmoko-20081103.git7172ec57# make drivers/media/video/v4l1-compat.ko CHK include/linux/version.h make[1]: `include/asm-arm/mach-types.h' is up to date.

Re: Once a whiner
I am currently building shr-unstable to try - been running a day or so, though had a few hiccups. Have tried shr before and liked it - just that it never ever registered so was a bit useless. I am hoping that building the image will allow me to track down why everything that uses the gsm0710mux fails to register - its almost like the gsm chipset locks up with the SIM I am using (vodafone.au).

I had the same opinion until I've tried SHR. Sure SHR is not complete yet, but I've used it as a phone for 3 weeks from now, and it's quite reliable. The distro proves the quality of Framework combine with Enligntment based applications.

But raising the volume in alsamixer doesn't help either. It really looks like the entire sound system crashes once in a while here. Also openmoocow doesn't moo any more.
