I say we go for it. I just emailed Tuomas (and CC'd you, hope that's OK).

Right. I don't have much time to experiment with this at the moment, but could you add it to the wiki so it doesn't get forgotten? Any links to previous discussions, experiments etc with OHCI would be most welcome.

If you mean the workaround from http://wnd.katei.fi/maemo/workaround-3415/ my opinion is no. Reasoning:

• the bug affects only a small proportion of devices
• the workaround reduces battery life
• there's nothing in the community SSU that conflicts with it so N810 owners who want/need it can still have it.

I fully agree with "no". This workaround helps me to deal with the issue but it's not a fix. In fact, it could be just good old snake oil packed in a pretty Debian package.

Ok,really workaround is not a good solution, tks. I think if any correction to this is Frementale...

My device reboot every day, 2 or 3 times... it is a not good.

Tks

I installed the community SSU on my N800 yesterday and been testing apps and everything seem to work fine.

Thank you very much for your willingness to include this in the project. I am not sure that it counts as "low-hanging fruit".

Because of the broken link, I am unable to add the following material to the wiki entry, and I apologize for creating this long post instead. EDIT: Thanks for your guidance on Wiki use in response to this.

In reading Bug 3281 , it is evident that the problem extends beyond cameras to the other devices discussed in http://people.freedesktop.org/~dkuka...e-capabilities.

There are standard procedures, described e.g. in http://people.freedesktop.org/~dkuka...perties-camera, for overcoming the kernel conflicts that arise in desktop distros which have automounting of USB storage devices. These procedures do not work in the MUSB configuration of OS2008, where the drivers for probing endpoint devices are bundled together with automounting drivers in the g_file_storage module.

(The conflicts do not exist in distros without automounting of USB storage.)

gphoto2 runs without problems on the Nokia 770, where USB host mode operates as it does on a desktop computer, through a dedicated host port controlled by OHCI. (It differs from a desktop computer in needing external power for the transceiver, but that is not relevant to the present case.) There is no automounting of USB storage, and therefore no need to configure HAL to recognize the camera as something other than storage.

I suggest that the best hope of resolving Bug 3281 lies in similarly providing an optional OHCI controller that could temporarily replace the MUSB + g_file_storage control in OS2008.

Yeah, it will probably have to wait a while until someone has time to test it.

That's bug 2491, which seems unrelated to USB.

(The cause of the broken links is bug 9736, just replace apps with bugs in the hostname until it's fixed).

Feel free to add it to http://wiki.maemo.org/Talk:Diablo_Community_Project

Just pushed another update that includes a patched kernel & xserver. Both my tablets survived it, but you have been warned.

updated successfully. no problems. Awesome stuff. what did the patches do?
