02:16:21DragonEagleBub: Fear the suspend button

02:24:08Bubi don't like the screen saver
02:25:12DragonEagleit should just turn the screen off

02:30:00Bubhow much more battery will that use when it's idle
02:30:04DragonEagleBub, not sure, ask this one on #familiar or #handhelds.org
02:30:23Bubk
02:42:44mattmanAnyone know who won the Compaq contest, or what the apps where?
02:44:21mattmanhmm... nice spelling, that should have been "were"
03:23:36sgodsell: what?
03:23:36sgodsellibot: 2.4.7-rmk3-np1
03:24:04no idea, sgodsell
03:24:04sgodsellibot: where is kernel 2.4.7-rmk3-np1
03:25:51zZZZzzzZZZ
03:25:51DragonEagleibot sleep
03:27:53DragonEagleBub: still having suspend problems?
03:28:50sgodsellWell join the club I am having problems with the 2.4.7-rmk3-np1 kernel  ;)
03:29:43sgodsellftp.handhelds.org/pub/linux/arm/sa-1100-patches/diff-2.4.7-rmk3-np1.gz
03:29:44DragonEaglesgodsell: I think he's having the same problem I had
03:34:15zZZZzzzZZZ
03:34:15DragonEagleibot sleep
03:35:02sgodsellI just took a look at the messages
03:35:18sgodsellBub you can make the power button do a shutdown
03:43:04sgodsellif you change a kernel file called h3600_ts.c in drivers/char of the kernel source code.  You can have the iPAQ report back all the button presses including the power button.  Look for a line    static int suspend_button_mode
03:43:21sgodsell= PBM_SUSPEND
03:43:27sgodsellchange it to
03:43:57sgodsellstatic int suspend_button_mode = PBM_GENERATE_KEYPRESS;
03:44:49sgodsellThen your power button is disabled.  But you will get the power button keystroke.
03:45:50DragonEaglesgodsell: why are you not putting this on the wiki?
03:46:08sgodsellYou can do it then
03:46:15DragonEagleno time
03:46:23DragonEaglegonna leave in a minute
03:46:39sgodsellOhhhhh,  dont leave me.
03:46:44sgodsell;)

20:26:47kfreeHi! Just a question.
20:27:19kfreeIs posible to make a PPP link with Linux and a ipaq with familiar distribution?
20:27:28kfreeI mean with USB port
20:28:06hmmm... usbnet is at http://handhelds.org/z/wiki/How%20do%20I%20setup%20USB%20networking
20:28:06nikosibot: usbnet
20:28:14nikoskfree: usb is not serial, don't think of it as serial.
20:28:24nikoskfree: See that URL.
20:28:50kfreeWhat should I buy: Serial o USB cable conection with the ipaq?
20:28:55kfreeok thanks!
20:29:18nikoskfree: You must use serial for the initial install, it's handy to have serial to access the serial console, usbnet is a much faster network connection.
20:31:28kfreenikos: ok. thank you, so I will buy my ipaq with serial cable intead USB (but I think actually is more difficult to find them)
20:31:54nikoskfree: You can also modify a USB cradle to be both.
20:31:56rumour has it ipaq serial is at http://handhelds.org/minihowto/h3600-serial-cable.html
20:31:56nikosibot: ipaq serial
20:32:07nikoskfree: I use a customized dual serial and USB cradle myself.
20:32:58kfreenikos: Oh yes, I hear that the USB or Serial cable are hackeable for getting both ones at the same one.
20:34:16nikoskfree: Right.
21:31:09dneuer_DINNERTIMEis away: cleaning catbox & ts driver (not sure which is worse)
22:49:28dneueris back (gone 01:18:20)
22:56:49DragonEagleis away: dinner
23:11:26DragonEagleis back
