Which hpcboot version are you using?

Yes, it's a bug in the driver for the hd64461 video.

I have written small wsblank utility (attached) to turn it on/off.
Yes, this functionality should really be integrated into wsconsctl.

screenblank in current has just grown -b/-u (one-off blank/unblank)
options.

Newest from the CVS (.exe.uue, not compiled by myself).

I've fixed it by copying some stuff from hd64461video_attach() to the 
power hook. I don't know if all of this is really necessary (probably 
not), but it works. Patch attached.

Thanks, it works. I've done some integration, check wsconsctl.patch.

Hmm, I think the version in CVS has a few bugs.

Try this one:
  http://snark.ptc.spbu.ru/~uwe/netbsd/jornada/hpcboot13-sh3-2006-01-16.zip

(I hate it that hpcboot needs external proprietary tools to compile,
and so updated in the tree only infrequently.  I can never quite
rememer which of the source level fixes have made it into the
committed binary).

Hi :)

Sorry for the late reply, but I've been messing around with my hpc a bit 
- bought 2 GB card, noticed that FFS in NetBSD definitely doesn't like me 
(the kernel, on i386, occasionally panics when writing to the card) and 
finally ended up with good, old, Linux ext2 root filesystem on Jornada.

It still doesn't work, but it's not a big problem - as long as NetBSD 
eventually boots to the login prompt.

It works - quite strange, because I tried unblanking with wsblank (remotely, 
via ssh, so no typing mistakes are possible) which, as I see in the ioctl 
handler, also calls hd64461video_on, and it didn't worked. Anyway, now it's 
okay, thanks.

Oops, forgot to answer the last question.

You can compile a custom kernel with a custom font.  E.g. I have in
mine:

    options FONT_VT220KOI8x10_KOI8_R

Check sys/dev/wsfont/wsfont.c and other files in that directory for
examples.

Alternatively you can uncomment

    pseudo-device wsfont

and use wsfontload(8) to load fonts (I haven't tried that with jornada
myself).

Xhpc - middle and right click

Hello all,

the question was already raised in this mailling list but I couldn't find
the answer : in the documentation for Xhpc, it is sais that :

     The pointing device can be the touch panel, or USB mouse.  Touch panel
     supported on NEC mobile Gear Series.  USB mouse supported on Sharp
     Telios.

     the touch panel can emulate 3-button mouse.

     -just touch
                 = click left button

     -[win] + touch + 2
                 = click middle button

     -[win] + touch + 3
                 = click right button
     Also, you can use 4th and 5th button.

I tried this with Xhpc and Matchbox (Generic Kernel 3.0.1) and couldn't find
the trick.  Applications like xpdf use sometimes the right click for special
functions (xpdf needs right click to load files).

Regards

Alain

Well, in that state the driver didn't turn the screen on, but it
thought it was *not* blanked, so an unblanking request from wsblank
would be "optimized away".  Blanking it first to force internal state
update was a workaround.

I think there should be some mails from me in the archive.  To summarize:

* IrDA.

scif(4) has two problems: it's not bus_space'ified, so it doesn't
support two instances of itself, and there's a bug in the driver that
causes it to lose incoming chars.  The first problem is easy to fix,
it's a pretty machnical change.  I had those mods in my tree, but
didn't want to commit them b/c of the second problem.  The second
problem can be observed if you try to run ppp over the serial, or try
to make a dial-out connection, e.g. to cu to another unix box.
Incoming chars are lost.  I made a few light-hearted attempts to fix
it, thinking that it could be a simple bug, but to no avail so far.
So with the mods that address the first problem and allow you to

I tried to do it in userspace (I'm new to NetBSD so writing a custom 
driver could be kind of challenge for now) and even managed to output 
some sound (and learned the hard way that securelevel greater than 0 
prevents readwrite /dev/mem accesses), but it seems that there's no 
easy way to get the userspace code executed at 8000 Hz. NetBSD doesn't 
seem to have a realtime scheduler (seems strange, so maybe I'm wrong) 
and setitimer() and usleep() on this CPU just doesn't work at this 
frequency even when reniced to -20. Maximum archieved frequency, 
both using setitimer() and usleep(), was 32 Hz.

[gophi <at> hpcsh ~/src]$ make test && sudo nice -n -20 ./test
cc -O   -o test test.c
us=3122254 (should be 1000000), freq=32 (should be 100)

[gophi <at> hpcsh ~/src]$ make test2 && sudo nice -n -20 ./test2
cc -O   -o test2 test2.c
us=3119995 (should be 1000000), freq=32 (should be 100)

(test.c and test2.c attached)
