Hi all,
I would like to comment on the topic quoted on https://zockertown.de/s9y/archives/882-asusoled-compilieren.html that states something like this:
"I wrote a patch to correct this issue:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/7/23/530
(get & try the patch)
However, it would be nice if it has "someone" supporters! I've already
wrote one for 2.6.22-gitX cycle... but it do not get any feedback!
please go to:
http://lkml.org/lkml/bounce/2007/7/23/530
send it to your email address, write a feedback and use "answer all!".
That's it!"
Well I installed this patch, recompiled my kernel and tried again asusoled application in order to test the oled display.
First time everything seemed as usual as it was with a standard (no patched) kernel, asusolded ask me to rmmod usbhid as it was not able to get control on the oled.
Then I removed the usbhid and tried again, it worked. Nothing new.
After this I loaded usbhid in order to use my mouse.
then I tried asusoled and fortunately this time it worked this time with usbhid loaded.
To sum up the patch works fine once I remove and load usbhid once. I tend to think this could be a bootstrap bug as it does work well after a manual reload of usbhid.
I'll continue testing in order to see if it was just a spontaneous problem.
My system:
Asus G1S
4GB
Open SuSE 10.3 X86_64
Kernel: 2.6.22.9-90 (Suse Build Service) patched with/to solve:
4GB + BIOS + Nvidia problem
oled recognized as usbhid device
PS.
I don't know German so it was difficult to understand the page in https://zockertown.de/s9y/archives/882-asusoled-compilieren.html
so I would suggest to update https://launchpad.net/asusoled/ maybe I could help.
Regards,
Javier Bolaños Molina.
Some of ASUS' notebooks (e.g G Series) include a tiny oled display, which is
attached to an internal USB bus. Unfortunatly the device reports a wrong
DeviceDescriptor and is therefore identified as a HID device...
