Hi,

There has been some discussion in other threads, but I'd like to hear
user experiences on this subject specifically, which is using packages
from squeeze exclusively vs. using newer packages from pkg-fso. I'm
mostly using plain Debian main repository with linux-openmoko kernel
from pkg-fso (or actually self-compiled andy-tracking trunk kernel in
reality).

My experience:
1. fso-frameworkd + fso-config-gta02 from Debian testing, ousaged
replaced with fsousaged in /etc/frameworkd.conf
Stable, I like it. My switch to fsousaged is quite recent, I don't
know (nor remember) if ousaged was the culprit for my only real
problem I had which was the touch screen occasionally stopping to
respond to touch with regards to lighting the display up. Maybe it got
fixed by the switch since I haven't seen it now. Using fsousaged
instead of ousaged did cause one problem, ie. Zhone has to be closed
and started again when booting so that the PIN question works.

2. same as above, but configured to use fso-abyss instead of default gsm0710muxd
Not getting to work, maybe simply because of old fso-frameworkd or
something else? Reading auth status does not work, and I haven't
figured out any frameworkd.conf combination which would work.

3. fso-frameworkd + fso-config-gta02 from pkg-fso, disabling opimd and
if fso-abyss wasn't the default I switched to it. Using fsousaged as
well.
Works otherwise with all these latest stuff, but having problems -
phone wasn't able to receive or make calls at some point later during
a day, and this happened during a few days.

In all configurations I've also changed ti_calypso_deep_sleep = never,
since it's simply better for anyone without a #1024 fix and with a
phone / environment that has the problem.

In the end I had to switch back to 1. yesterday evening, which I'm
indeed quite happy with but of course it's not the latest frameworkd
nor using fso-abyss which is theoretically better, or at least newer
than gsm0710muxd and it wouldn't hurt to get those working as well. Is
there any chance that the current pkg-fso fso-frameworkd snapshot from
20090920 is simply outdated snapshot and what I experience are bugs
that have been probably fixed since then? But I guess bringing newer
fso-frameworkd snapshot would also involve bringing more of these
Vala-reimplemented components with it, and the stability of all of
that is not maybe for daily care-free phone usage?

-Timo
