I have successfully set up a dual-boot XP and Ubuntu configuration on my U810. I have the touchscreen working in Ubuntu. But in order to get the touchscreen working, I had to change the BIOS switch from tablet to touchscreen. Now, when I boot into XP, calibration is off. Is there any way to fix this without having to change the switch in BIOS each time I boot into XP and Ubuntu.

hi,

i think it is not possible to change the switch in the BIOS, but have you look for a driver in XP, perhaps it gives a driver for the touchscreen mode.

hi,

ok i have test suspend2ram, in this thread there a solutions to use s2ram, i have use s2ram too. with this options

s2ram -f -a 2 -m -v

and it works perfect, the touch screen didn't react after resume, i must switch to the console and back to X and it works. i have test the power consume when the u810 sleep, it is good. by 7 hours suspend 450mAh.

bye the way, i have changed the harddisk with a compact flash adapter, i use a zif to compact flash adapter ( http://www2.multithread.co.uk/mtcshop/images/linitx.com/products/Compact_Flash_to_1.8__ZIF_Adapter_main.jpg)
and a sandisk extreme III 16 GB, it works good.

bye
martin

That's very interesting. It'd be nice if you would make a speed test using 'hdparm -t /dev/...'

The Japanese touchscreen driver is for XP Pro, not Tablet, and will let you use the same bios setting as Linux. I've used both drivers and settings on my U8240

i want make some tests with bonnie++, if i make this tests i will send it.

Quote:

ok here is the result. bonnie++ -x 10 -u0 -d ./. output is write and input is read. if you like you can make the same test with the internal hard disk

Added my mistake. Is there any way to remove this post?

Hi martschie,

Thanks for the speed test results.

I need you help with hibernate, because I still can't get it working.

I've patched the kernel with the tuxonice patch (tuxonice-3.0-rc7-for-ubuntu-hardy.patch.bz2) according to the manual here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Suspend2Kernel

Then I modified grub config and added "resume=swap:/devsda3" string to the kernel parameters. According to the /sys/power/tuxonice/swap/headerlocations, I don't need to specify resume_block value (like resume=swap:/dev/sda3:0x242d).

The same device is specified in the suspend2.conf:
SuspendDevice swap:/dev/sda3

Then I created a file
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/suspend2_do_resume as described here:
http://wiki.tuxonice.net/DistroAndHardwareSetup/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Gibbon
(I've also tried to place the script in the /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/ directory).

Kernel still doesn't recognize that U was hibernated and just starts loading as usual. There are no errors in the /var/log/hibernate, everything seems to be fine.

What have I missed? Maybe you could upload your configs and I'll to play with them and find the reason?

Vitel

Hi Vitel,

for hibernate, i make as root

hibernate

did you take the right hibernate script?

ok here are my config files, if hope you find the error, if not write the errors here and i hope i can help you.

bye martin

Thanks a lot martschie, I'll try to find out the problem and will reply you with results.

Have any of you tried the Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded OS?

On the wiki page it lists the u1010 as a target platform.
UME Wiki

What I was hoping was that you could set it up such that while out and about you use UME with the hildon application framework, providing a intuitive and efficient mobile device (possibly integrating a cap on CPU usage etc to extend battery life). Then when dropped in its docking station switching, automatically, to a full ubuntu gnome desktop for use with a full keybaord mouse and ~20in monitor.

I was really wanting to get some feedback on how the touch screen works with a finger UI like Hildon before dropping the cash on a u1010 and trying to make this dream a reality.

Cheers,
Kaligo

Recipe for easy setting up hibernate+suspend on ubuntu 8.04

I just finished a project, so I said: hey, just forget about work and let's do another fine-tuning step of this nice guy; so after fiddling and googling, I found an easy and working setup for having both suspend and hibernate work flawlessly

Disclaimer: it works for me !! Report whether or not it works for you!

1) in order to solve that the pc hungs with the cursor blinking on the left, wifi card modules need to be unloaded before hibernate/suspend

on the file /etc/default/acpi-support, make sure you have the following lines:
# Should we attempt to warm-boot the video hardware on resume?
#not for U810: POST_VIDEO=true
MODULES="ath_pci ath_rate_sample ath_hal"


2) in order to solve some strange screen issues, as mentioned in this thread before, add the option acpi_sleep=s3_bios to the kernel boot line in /boot/grub/menu.lst file

=> and then reboot and hibernate/suspend works!!
=> suspend time: 6sec
=> resume from suspend: 40sec (!?!)


3) for some fine tunning:

3.1) set suspend on lid-close
on gnome topbar (can be elsewhere) go to
system->preferences->power management
on ac power - when laptop lid is closed - suspend
on battery power - when laptop lid is closed - suspend

just change to 'hibernate' if you want to do so.


3.2) disable screen-lock after resume
in file /etc/default/acpi-support
# Comment this out to disable screen locking on resume
#LOCK_SCREEN=true

as your user, open a terminal and run
gconf-editor

then go to the apps/gnome-power-manager/lock/ and uncheck suspend/hibernate


3.3) sd card
I found it's better to have your sd card out; otherwise I think some extra time checking sd fs is spent during resume, as well as a sd-browser window is launched at resume, as if you were inserting the sd card



HTH

And some more things about that hibernate+suspend solution I posted:

1) now it seems it takes just 5-10sec to resume !!! I don't know what I did, apart from taking the sd card out and resuming without wired lan; maybe wired lan connectivity makes all services restart, thus adding the time

2) in 12 hours in suspend mode, battery just drained from 100% to 84% !!

3) after resuming, connecting external monitor did not work; for the external monitor to work I had to restart....
