iPAQ not so goodness
While Familiar Linux on an iPAQ is still damn cool. There’re some issues with my iPAQ:
- Sound doesn’t work. Yeah I read the release notes, yeah all the right modules are loaded, just no sound.
- None of the USB stuff works. Selecting the “Storage” or “Serial Port” options nets you first missing kernel modules and then when you’ve fixed those, you get
unresolved symbol usb_gadget_unregister_drivererrors. I assume there’s yet another missing kernel module that wasn’t inmodules.conf. - Bluetooth management is, um… lacking. Configuring a GPRS modem was a two day hunt through Google and it felt like Linux circa 1999.
pppdis an abomination and while therfcommbluetooth stuff wasn’t so bad, there doesn’t seem to be any “right” way to save pins, so you have to rebind after reboots. There needs to be some real work in this area. - Syncing to non-Linux systems is pretty much pointless.
Yes, I’ll be “escalating” these to the mailing lists after Turkey-day.
