The last I see is a message :
LOGD("Screen about to return, flinger = %p", flinger.get());
from DisplayHardwareBase.cpp
It just looks like the hardware is displaying the wrong framebuffer ????
Actually I'm going to add back the vt switch feature
in ics-x86. Google took it out probably they think
android phone doesn't need that.
But we do need. It helps debugging a lot.
With that change, do you think we still need your patch?

Thanks, Chih-Wei.
I think that'll help, adding the vt switch back, but please make it configurable if you can. I have built a "release" version for me now, and I have disabled CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE but left CONFIG_VT on - this works great for "production" environment, because the UX is so smooth:
When Android boots, there are no messages except the text "A N D R O I D" (probably because I enabled the framebuffer console) and then the graphical Android boot logo. And when suspending, there is no ugly console switch with text, but just standby and then resume.
I'm about to release a new image soon.
Stefan
P.S.: I'm already writing this message on my Thinkpad with the Android GMail client. Quite nice :)

Chih-Wei, do you think re-enabling CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE will effect any
of the following:
- Input on serial comm (I only managed to see output for some reason)
- Alt+F1/Alt+F7 - switching from/to console/GUI
You can disable it by
system_init.startsurfaceflinger=0

Lg .Peter
would it be possible that somebody could maintain a device tree for the
Lucid platform?
rvbd and Corvus have done a nice job (amnd they still do!) in developing
all necessary changes based on the Tegav2 device gtree and even some of
their changes where going back in the generic repository of Android X86.
rvdb's sources can be found here:
https://github.com/rbraken/wetab-ICS-device-tree
But unfortunately some of their changes, for example for autorotation,
LCD backlight can not be integrated in the Tegav2 device tree as this
would prevent the original Tegav2 to function with this changes. So
currently the disadvantage is, that any time when there is a new
official release of Android X86, somebody has to implement again those
changes made by Corvus and rvbd back to the Tegav2 device tree to get a
fully working Android for the Lucid platform.
In the WeTab forum rvbd (alias xyyzzy) already claimed these days that
for him it would be too much responsibility and work to maintain an
official device tree for the WeTab and it's sisters.
My question is, if somebody else would be able to maintain it? I think
this would simplify a lot. What do you think?
Stefan
I think the best approach is to integrate necessary changes
for wetab into tegav2 target.
The reasons are we are getting more targets.
It's troublesome to maintain very similar targets,
and it increase my work for each release cycle.
Besides, we are run out of storage of Google code
download area. I need to delete old files before
uploading new isos.
For the HAL parts, I don't think you made significant
changes that cannot be integrated together.
For example, the liblights we used now is
developed by StefanS. I remember rvdb
said it works for him in some of the replies.
For libsensors, seems wetab uses a different
input event queue. That's easy to be conquered
by getting the event name from a system property.
So my suggestion is, send me patches for wetab
so we can review what need to be changed, and
how to change that.
Hello Chih Wei,
all of fvbd's changes are public accessible in rvbd's github at
https://github.com/rbraken/wetab-ICS-device-tree
Would it be possible for you to integrate that completely into the Tegav2 device tree? Then rvbd could repo his changes to that device tree instead of his own little github.
Would that be Ok for you, and you, rvbd???
Stefan
Thank you for the understanding.
Yes, I have tried to pick changes from your tree
and integrated into ics-x86 branch.
But it's likely I still miss some parts
since I don't have the device to try.
I still need your help to tell me what else
need to be changed.
So let me ask more concretely:
* What kernel changes are needed?
including kernel source and config?
* Which hals need to be changed?
So far I see libsensors needs to be
generalized to handle different input name.
Anything else?
Please send me patches to address the issues.

Right. But we already have gps hal (hardware/gps).
Not sure how it differs from yours.

Maybe I can just added it since tegav2 doesn't
have a real ril now.

The current vold implementation is a big trouble to be generic.
I'm still seeking for a better approach.

OK, I checked your btusb and ath3k.
I think it's better to re-check if these changes are
really necessary. I remember I saw some discussions
about that in lkml or fedora bugzilla.
Maybe you should ask help from the developer
of ath3k.
For asus-laptop, it's changed a lot.
I suggest you ask help from Corentin Chary, the
author of asus-laptop (also a good friend of mine),
to see how to integrated it into upstream.

has anybody already tryed to get a WeTab 32G sample for Chih-Wei from
4tito (42) ? I think this would make things much easier.

did somebody tryed to request a sample of WeTab 3G at 4tito for
Chih-Wei, or not?
Should I try to contact 4tito ask them if they can provide a sample to
Chih-Wei? As I remember I have read somewhere (here or WeTab community
forum), also 4tito is interested to run ICS on the WeTab, so asking them
for the (sponsored) sample would be easy as it is expected that they
would like to cooperate. What do you think?
Stefan
But anyway, yes because my kernel module uses late_resume, it can send
the button keypress after the "screen is on" event from Android, at
which point the UI is already up and running again.
So I'm glad it works for you, too!
