Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

Has definitely solved the issue of mounting. Managed to mount 4 seperate USB sticks. Perhaps this needs to be passed onto the scripts somehow if its not mounting properly?

Also failed to mount (or recognize) an external harddrive, that isn't a fair test, however, as its first partition is WBFS (for Wii) and not even sure it has an extX or fat partition on it.

Also could you add and option to disable portrait mode? (Or at least note it for much later releases) as I find it particularly annoying when I'm plugging and unplugging things constantly? :P

Hi guys,
whit this kernel, the camera don' t work. Is only my problem?

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

You have fcamera installed, the devs need to compile the modules against kernel-hostmode's headers.
Uninstalling fcam-drivers and rebooting should solve it.

@MohammadAG
Would it be good to add that info to known issues list?

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

Thanks. Working great for me. As already mentioned in the thread, it would be nice if the mount script would have some extra intelligence to determine if the USB disk is on /dev/sda or /dev/sda1 (if "/dev/sda1" is not contained in /proc/partitions, mount /dev/sda, else mount /dev/sda1).

One thing that does not work is gamepad/joystick devices, even after loading the "joydev" kernel module. Is this a known issue?

Hmm what mouse drivers should I be using for this? USB mouse lights up on connect and what not, but doesn't appear to react in any applications I try?

Solved it: Qole's Bluetooth package seems to have done the job:

apt-get install bt-hid-scripts

Now just sync up and run showmouse in xterm. Gives you a nice little mouse cursor on the screen. Packages also map all the additional buttons for keyboard.

Be sure and test it from the terminal so you can see errors. I initially tried just deleting the extra ' but that seemed to cause boostoff to try to kill the wrong process, leaving the loop in booston running.

Also, do you also see the crash/reboot on power-off? Or is it something I've done? I wish I had a serial console so I could see kernel messages as it shuts down.

Thanks for your work on this!

USB Keyboard test it. = OK

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

I tested it hours ago at school, and already pushed a new package to -devel.
Also, shutting down Skype solved stuttering in mplayer, watched a full episode of house without any problems :)
I'll look into kernel-power today, and maybe fcam-drivers

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

If we had kernel-power you'd have had no stuttering as well :P

Also just managed to play a slideshow off my USB mounted camera (cheapy pen camera =s)

Have a look at the link I posted, as it'll enable all of the keys. Not being able to input forward slash (/) on a linux phone is just downright embarassing :P
