- Bluetooth works, you have

- Bluetooth works, you have to disable it in PalmOS first
- Battery worked some time ago, don't have my TX, so I can't check it right now, maybe so configuration error
- Your SD card is in /media/mmcblk0p1 I think

Oh! I will try. My bluetooth

Oh! I will try. My bluetooth is always turn on in PalmOS. Thank you very mutch!
And now answer my next question, please =): My English very bad, couse tell me please, what mean "do not use reboot":

b) Do not click "reboot" in log out dialog.

P.S. Thank you for your great work!

It means that you should use

It means that you should use button and you shouldn't use any kind of software reboot. So don't press reboot in log out dialog but you can press button on the back.

I still have problem with

I still have problem with bluetooth =(
Bluetooth is disabled from PalmOS.

Do you have modules loaded?

Do you have modules loaded? Do you have anything in /lib/modules? For battery, did you tried modprobe palm-battery? I'm just guessing, where problem can be... I'll try it when I'll get my palm back (probably during next week?)

2MISKA. Hi, MISKA. My

Hi, MISKA. My battery and Bluetooth haven’t identified for my silly mistake: I’ve just forgotten to copy a file with a kernel module (modules.squash). Sorry to trouble you.

2All

While using the distribution kit some new problems and questions appeared.

1. The matter is that I tried to create ext2 and swap partitions on the card, as it is described in the forum, but Bluetooth and battery stopped identifying again. I mounted modules.squash and copied all its content into /lib/modules/. All modules seemed to start working except the battery. The command #modprobe palm-battery saved me.
I just want to ask you whether I did it correctly or not. Can you explain me why after transferring linux to ext2 partition it’s necessary to enter the command #modprobe palm-battery?

2. How to configure gprs? Should I do the same as in Linux for PC, or can I use interface opie?

3. What is the hot key for keyboard layout quick switch?

4. I have a problem with copying files into Advanced File Manager. There is a message that copying cannot be done, although the file appears and its size is zero. So I have to use "run command".

5. And what about extermal keyboard? Is it possible? For what devices? Where can i find drivers?

6. And at last, there is no sound. =(
That's All For Now. Thanks In Advance.

1) Because you get rid of

1) Because you get rid of ramdisk, which did it for you before.
2) I think you can use either way, but I din't try it.
3) Don't know.
4) Don't know.
5) It is possible, try to take a look at kbdd daemon and what keyboard does it support.
6) Strange, it should work. In latest rootfs, it's even turned on after boot and volume applet is fixed to work...

1. I'm so sorry. I did not

1. I'm so sorry. I did not understand. Can explain? Is it problem, or i should to add "modprobe palm-battery" to rc script only?

2. What is name of the bluetooth device in /dev? I did not find. =(

6. I am afraid sound is not work. Xmms do not show progress. And after some time xmms is fall (do not answer).

1) I'm modprobing some

1) I'm modprobing some modules in my ramdisk, so if you are running from ext2 partition without ramdisk, you need to add modules in some configuration file so they'll get modprobed on startup. You can check already existing scripts and find out correct file with relevant settings or you can write down your own script which modporbes modules.

2) You can use bluez - hciconfig, hcitool, rfcomm as on normal linux. But I think you need to load some module too (hci-uart).

6) Try adjusting sound. You can read how to turn sound on in /etc/init.d/*hackndev*. There is the script which turns sound on on first boot and it also should save setings to alsa... But not working xmms sounds weird...
