Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v50 in Extras-Devel
 

hi everyone,

first big thanks for this great work :)

I have tryed to get my logitech rumblepad 2 usb to run with h-e-n
but it fails cause of the missing hid-logitech.ko kernel drivers.

So i compiled my own kernel based on kp50 with CONFIG_HID_LOGITECH=m
and after setting up hal with a custom fdi file the gamepad works fine.

Because im not really used to modify maemo/linux kernels
i would like to ask if there is an easy way
to get thinks like this driver to work with the stock kp50 kernel
and if not if it would be possible
to get this option enabled in some further release.

greetings from germany
Hoga

Would love to see that too, wasn't it already enabled on older versions? I vaguely remember that I was using my logitech dual action gamepad, but I am not sure though. Too busy with other things to game with N900 :(

hello guys
I have 2.6.28-omap1 kernel and I wanna know more about modified kernels and what is its positive and negative aspects from your experience.
Actually I've always been afraid from updating kernel because the last time I tried to update it the device stopped booting and I had to make a reflash.
So how safe it's to get KP ? and does stable version means that it's totally safe?

Many thanks to the KP team for this incredible and ongoing effort.

I am upgrading from KP 49. I was using KP 49 @ 950MHz but found that videoconferencing stopped working on KP 50. Connection would fail when trying to use video, the red light would stay on afterwards with high CPU and battery use - no further skyping (audio or video) until a reboot. I changed frequency down a notch to 900 and I have video again (current config below).

Cheers :)

current kernel configuration:
current frequency: 500
supported frequencies: 125 250 500 550 600 720 805 850 900 950 1000 1100 1150
min. frequency: 125
max. frequency: 900
avoid frequencies: 125 250
active frequencies: 500:33,360 550:40,400 600:42,430 720:48,520 805:52,600 850:54,600 900:56,600 950:56,600 1000:60,600 1100:72,600 1150:72,600

Hi ,

i have a quick question. Are power49 and 50 incompatible with the hacked fmtxd? I remember reading something to that effect but can't find it now. If it is incompatible, which is the newest power kernel that still supports it? I need to use it for a while. I can't get it to work with 49.

Thx

Well if you compile it with the =m option you should have a .ko module file that you can insmod on the 'normal' kernel power so you do not have to flash your own kernel... but yes, you will have to compile ;)

Re: [Announce] kernel-power stable v50 in Extras-Devel
 

@Pali, what do you think for yet another package, called kernel-power-modules-extra, where all that rarely used drivers (see above posts) to live?

If such thing was to happen do not forget this:

Sounds good. Now we have more extra modules in -module package and also extra usb drivers (for host mode). So I think that extra usb modules should also go to -modules-extra package.

But big problem is again maemo.org package interface...

I use jacekowski's modified fmtx and it's working fine with kp50.
