Re: [gentoo-embedded] Openmoko - Almost there...

[Alon Bar-Lev <alon.barlev@gmail.com>]

Update:

After a lot of work and updating all packages (FSO, SHR) to head i can
finally make a phone call!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank for everyone help!

There are quite large modification and new packages I added to the
tree, and opened some
bugs in gentoo bugzilla.

It also works as a regular user... Running the whole graphic
application under root was really
annoying at all distributions.

I can help you to maintain the tree, I am a former gentoo developer
(alonbl@gentoo.org), so
I can help maintaining the tree.

Issues:
1. I had to touch /etc/freesmartphone/ogsmd/networks.tab in order to
make ophonekitd
start.
2. ophonekitd does not start at the first time, but if I start it manuall using:
DISPLAY=:0 ophonekitd
It works.
3. Sound works when I don't use the speaker, if I turn on speaker in
the dailer, no mic and sound.
4. There are few numbers I cannot call, for example my voice mail
number is not working.

Continuing to investigate...

Questions:
1. How do you start the X automatically? Do you use xdm or your own
version which calls startx?
2. Have anyone solved the gnome application's font issue? It looks
like tangogps and phonelog
share common font issue.
3. Where do you redirect the log of the X server? Looks like there is
no control where the
ophonekitd and e write the log, so a tweek is needed to support log rotation.
4. What about neod, is it useful?

Thanks,
Alon.
