33 | Core | Bug Report | Low | mmcqd eating lots of CPU power when writing | Closed | |
Task Description
EDIT:
Tried a remount with noatime and this seemed to work very well. CPU usage when writing still goes higher, but not as high as before.
Very common problem, seems to happen on all systems (just do a google search for mmcqd).
Just run SuperTux, wait about 10 seconds at the title screen and it will hang for a few seconds (while mmcqd goes up).
Same problem as on the GP2X where we also had hangs occuring.
I wonder if there's something that can be done here?
Some suggest to change mmcqd priority. Some other sites do try to remove features of mmcqd.
Another option is to mount async (like on the gp2x).
As the Pandora usually isn't switched off the hard way but should be shutdown properly, this could be a good solution.
That would mean that our suspend mode needs to call sync before shutting down.
Maybe pnd_run.sh could also run sync after a game quit?
Here are some interesting reads that might help us:
http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-omap@vger.kernel.org/msg16345.html : "wait_for_completion is blocking call. Please check 'omap_mmc_request'"
http://www.mail-archive.com/davinci-linux-open-source@linux.davincidsp.com/msg08732.html - He disables some stuff in mmcqd which lowers CPU usage. |

32 | Core | Bug Report | Low | pndnotifyd: Crawling through directories it shouldn't i ... | Closed | |
Task Description
My current configuration is:
Rootfs on first SD Card, 2nd partition.
If I put my WIZ SD Card with tons of files into the second SD Slot while booting, pndnotifyd eats up about 95% of CPU time.
After about 8 - 9 minutes, it stopped eating the CPU and the system is working normally.
This doesn't happen when I put in the card when XFCE4 is already running.
Using LSOF, I can confirm it's crawling where it shouldn't:
pndnotify 1825 root 6r DIR 179,9 1441792 62488 /media/mmcblk1p1/roms/c64/Tapes
Could it be that on first initialization it hasn't loaded the config and crawls through the whole SD Card?
On a side note: I got 44700 files on that SD Card... so if it needs about 8 minutes, that does mean it can do over 5000 files a minute! |

31 | Core | Bug Report | High | X11 Crashing with omapfb | Closed | |
Task Description
Cleaned up a bit.
* Mouse is inverted if you run SDL Games from the console.
* Mouse is not properly calibrated when you run SDL Games under X fullscreen. Fixed with notaz patch that also fixes the X11-Crash with omapfb (see below)
Regarding the X11-Crash when using SDL-Fullscreen-Apps together with omapfb:
notaz nailed down the problem: It's actually xf86-input-tslib's fault-
omapfb only acted as catalizator here, causing SDL to use different code path and call different X functions.
His patch also almost increases the touchscreen problem (see above): It runs perfect for games in 800x480.
However, on small issue is left on apps with lower resolution which use their own mouse cursor:
As soon as you move the mouse outside of the game resolution (i.e. SuperTux runs 640x480), the mouse cursor stops at the end of the virtual screen and you have an offset.
This only seems to happen when the game uses it's own mouse cursor. If you go to the level editor of SuperTux and leave, the normal X cursor appears and the problem doesn't occur anymore.
So this is probably something that needs to be fixed in the game, not in the driver.
A compiled version (for testing):
http://notaz.gp2x.de/tmp/tslib_drv.so --- needs to be copied here: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/input/tslib_drv.so |

Switching between DPAD and keyboard does increase CPU usage on X A LOT. It even tends to crash ALSA if done too extensive.
According to notaz, this is due to some very old crap that's still included in X.
Internally it has one mouse and one keyboard, everything else is copied every time you press a key and bunch of callbacks are called, messages are sent to all screens and windows.
New tests from EvilDragon:
Disabling xfwm4 makes things better (ALSA won't crash anymore), but it still lags. Running it in minimal X (directly from .xinitrc) strangely fixes this - X won't eat up more than 17% CPU,
regardless how many buttons you press.
OLD Entry:
The qwerty controls when pressed are causing the system to slowdown making the application running to pause/delay. Ive seen in a least 2 application glquake and supertux. For example pressing space would cause the hiccups and shortly after the pressing stopped the application would regain normal running speed. The other joystick/nub controls work fine. glquake is getting controls direct from the event files. Supertux is using the SDL layer.
This was done on angstrom image from dec 19th.
EDIT: More tests done by EvilDragon with the latest image (pandora-xfce-image-omap3-pandora-20100102-new-kernel-fn-n-m-support.tar.bz2)
When you play with the DPAD and press a keyboard button, the app is making the small pause. You can press as many keyboard buttons as you want after that, there won't be another pause.
BUT as soon as you press the DPAD again, it pauses again. Then the next pause does happen when you press a keyboard button, etc.
So it feels like it pauses when you switch between DPAD and keyboard.
The most important thing: This only happens when you run SDL Games from X. It doesn't occur when running SDL games from the console. |

Trashing a file/folder seems to MOVE it to a certain trash directory on the MAIN VOLUME, rather then the ORIGINATING VOLUME, hence this can result in a COPY RATHER THAN A MOVE operation, if the trashed file originates from a filesystem other than the main filesystem!

a) Very time consuming
b) And in case of large files this operation can even fail due to not enough free space on the main volume. |

331 | Core | Bug Report | Medium | Hold switch key continuously sends X11 KeyPress events ... | Unconfirmed | |
Task Description
When put into Hold mode, X11 handles the power switch as if it's being pressed, and it generates lots of keypress events, passing them to the foreground application. Since /dev/input/eventX does not seem to continuously trigger, I'm guessing it's due to key repeat.
To reproduce:
- Install xev and open it in the terminal
- Put the power key in HOLD mode
- Notice the "time" value changing rapidly
In addition to causing more work to X, it also floods the active application with key presses, resulting in increased CPU usage. In my test, switching to HOLD while Firefox is in the foreground causes it to use 6% CPU and X an additional 2.5%.
In addition, the key-press events continue even after the switch is taken off HOLD until another key is pressed.
A possible solution to this is to blacklist the power-button event device, to prevent evdev from listening to it (the key is handled by pndevmapperd). |

328 | Core | Bug Report | Low | XFCE desktop icons not displayed when logging on too qu... | Requires testing | |
Task Description
It looks like XFCE cannot find the icons for links/launchers on the desktop, when the user logs on too quickly. This happens either when the session chooser at start-up is disabled, or when the session is being chosen quickly after the session chooser is being displayed (e.g. by pressing enter as soon as the chooser window pops up). The icons are probably not generated yet at that time point.
A simple workaround is adding the command "xfdesktop --reload" to autostart. Couls this be included in the next SuperZaxxon release or a hotfix? |

In next step the dialog still asks you to enter a random PIN at your BT device (which is impossible here).
