123 | Base OS | Feature Request | Low | Suggestions for the Pandora-Button | New | |
Task Description
My suggestion instead of a full menu, would be to have a tiny overlay over the current running application which allows you to:
- relogin (to close all running applications)
- quit (stop the active application)
- shows the last notifications / toaster messages which you missed while being in a fullscreen app.
- possibly even something like plugin support or icons to check out the wifi-strength etc. from fullscreen apps.
Implementation wise this could possibly be done using
- a topmost window and the same content rendered in screenspace in a GLES hook (which should draw over most applications)
or
- one of the DSS2 overlays maybe
It's definitely something to consider as it was requested on the forums a few times (~"xbox like menu in games"). |

133 | Base OS | Feature Request | Low | Add TiMidity++ to OS? | Closed | |
Task Description
Hey, was just wondering if it would be possible to have TiMidity++ (http://timidity.sourceforge.net/) added with a hotfix, would allow games/ports that use it (the Zelda ports here: http://www.gp32x.com/board/index.php?/topic/54633-zelda-kind-of), zdoom and heretic (I think unless pickles has changed them) and other stuff that uses it to not have to include it in the .pnd and saving SD space... just an idea... |

137 | Base OS | Feature Request | Low | Default vim config | Closed | |
Task Description
The current vim install does come without any config file. By default this means vim does work in "vi compatible mode" which makes it hardly usable. The attached config file is meant to be used as ~/.vimrc, so it should be added to "/etc/skel/.vimrc". The file is partly based on the default config used by gentoo.
Things this config file sets:
* Start in "vim mode" by default
* activate ruler
* set width of linenumber in ruler
* assume that the terminal uses a dark background
* configure what hitting backspace removed (newlines, ...)
* some magic to have different encoding formats working in a more sane way |

163 | Base OS | Bug Report | Low | DPMS related "display problems" | Closed | |
Task Description
Currently it looks like DPMS is active in xorg (eg when using XFCE). DPMS is normally used for stuff like turning the screen off to save energy. There seems to be no way to configure this while in XFCE. So the default xorg server values are used.
At the moment the screen is turned off after 10mins of inactivity. Problems with this are
a) that the time till it is turned off can not be configured
b) after wakeup from such a DPMS related display shutdown the brightness is set to maximum.
Solution to this:
Deactivate the sleep values via xorg.conf. I am attaching a diff to "[openembedded.git] / recipes / xorg-xserver / xserver-xorg-conf / omap3-pandora / xorg.conf" changing those to "default off". |

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! |

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. |

Task Description
The next kernel offers switching between a joystick / keyboard mode.
In joystick mode, the DPAD and ABXYRL Buttons behave like a joystick buttons and have no keyboard mappings.
In keyboard mode, the DPAD and ABXYRL Buttons have keyboard mappings and are NOT registered as joystick.
The normal keyboard keys are not affected by this.
PXML needs to have a switch added for that and pnd_run should change the mode according to that switch.
When the PND app has quit, it should always go back to keyboard mode.
The commands are the following:
echo 1 > /proc/pandora/game_button_mode # keyboard mode
echo 2 > /proc/pandora/game_button_mode # gamepad mode |

70 | Core | To Do (Reminder) | Low | Make switching GUIs more customizable (hardcoded at the ... | Closed | |
Task Description
At the moment, /usr/pandora/scripts/op_switchgui,sh ,/usr/pandora/scripts/op_defaultgui.sh and /usr/pandora/scripts/first-run-wizard.sh are hardcoded with the GUIs we have.
I'd like to have that configurable for the future.
My current plan is having a config file with all the GUIs in (e.g. /etc/pandora/gui.conf)
In there, there should be ALL GUIs:
"XFCE4";"startxfce4";"xfce4-session-logout --logout"
"Netbook Launcher";"startnetbooklauncher";"killall netbook-launcher-efl"
"PMenu";"pmenu";""
So with an info:
a) What's the name of the GUI
b) How to start it
c) How to stop it (if it doesn't do that itself)
Therefore, various GUIs could be implemented and switched with the Switch GUI script by simply adding it to the config file.
Ideally, all GUIs should either have a shutdown script (so I don't have to kill it to quit it) or react properly on a simple terminate
command :)
Or they could do it themselves, read out the config file, show up the different GUIs we have, change the /tmp/gui.load file and quit.
Any more ideas?
Any help? Coding that script shouldn't be too hard, the only thing I don't know at the moment is how to parse various config lines (as above) into a shell script :)
vimacs, any idea there? |

85 | Core | Feature Request | Low | open lid while in low power mode | Closed | |
Task Description
I'm replying in-forum:
An interesting point -- opening the lid turning the screen on, but you're still in lower power mode. The question then becomes --
Since you enabled low power mode (using the power switch), thats the logical way to un-low power mode.
Two outcomes come to mind ..
When opening the lid, one of:
i) wake up from low power mode, or
ii) Don't turn the screen on when in low power mode
(or a variation of (ii) -- flash a warning "hey, I'm in lower power, bugger off, and hit the power switch")
I can code something in; probably occured due to in my prototype, I broke the power switch, so I didn't use low power mode near the end ;) |

If you boot the system with the lid closed, the backlight will still be on when you get to the desktop. You have to lift the lid for an instant and then close again to shut it off.
