Hi Tarkan;
Is it expected that this will fix the problem on 4G grayscale too?
I'm afraid the instructions need to be slightly different then, I'd be happy to test in 4G GS if you instruct me to do the right changes at the source.
Thx

Here is patch file for the changes I made http://www.tarkan.info/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/patch.txt
ViperX, sorry I don't know much about the 4g or the problems you are having. If you did not have the problems on builds before r16258 then it is possible the same lines of code causing the problems in the 5g could be causing them in the 4g.
Sorry ViperX, just realised you have the means to do your own build - It is worth trying it out, remove line 353 in the file /firmware/target/arm/system-pp502x.c
If that does not work try removing the whole block lines 344 - 356 inclusive.
regards, Tarkan

I have the same problem with the 4G. I've spent the day trying to install Cygwin (can't find the setup.ini file at download.rockbox.org, probably because it is in the cygwin directory). Then I installed VMWare and compiled the bootloader, but it still doesn't work.
How exactly can I patch that system file? Can you please create a diff file for the 4G, or instruct me in the exact commands to edit the file directly?
I googled vi and learned how to edit system-pp502x.c to comment out the offending lines and created my first patch. Thanks Tarkan for all your help in finding the problem and setting me on the right path with the file supplied.
viperX:
Bingo!
It works too for 4G in the latest build deleting just the line:
DEV_RS = 0x3ffffef8;
I'm sorry I did not write the line number :-[ but it is slightly below line 353 (that was true for 16259).
I guess you can produce an offical patch now...
Many thanks for fixing this
