@ those who have a grey screen: could you try to see if rockbox is actually running or if it's just stuck ? There a many possibilities, one would be to press power a few seconds to see if the player shutdown, or wait a bit to see if backlight fades out and then in when you press a key.

Ok pamaury I've just talk with alienkid on the IRC and there is no grey screen anymore - it works !!! \o/

[alienkid10]

Hi finally signed up. Let me clarify a bit:
screen works fine I do get a grey screen for a bit on bootup but then fine except for lines being on screen. Like on an olde TV set or something they are a RB specific "feature." (not in OF)
Also Touchpad needs work but you knew that already.
THANK YOU for all your hard work! And thank you both for compiling it for me to test on. Give me a yell and the compiled stuff and I'll continue you test when you need me too. For now I'm gonna play with it then reflash OF back on.

[metaphys]

you don't really need to reflash the of: If you keep the volume down key pressed while power on it should boot  into OF (dualboot)

[pamaury]

I'm glad to see that it works, however I have even less explaination for the lines your are seeing, can you take a photo ?
Also can you tell which commit fixed it: r30926 or r30958 ?

[metaphys]

I've gave him a bootloader compiled yesteday evening

[alienkid10]

r30975 says the system>rockbox info menu. Lines I don't think would show in a pict

[metaphys]

I think I know what are those "lines" does it occurs all the time? On my device sometime I have something like the display frequency was going down (probably related with heavy charge on the CPU)

[pamaury]

The display frequency is derived from the crystal so it shouldn't change with the cpu load (it could be the case with hbus clock with auto-slow only iirc). But perhaps the crystal is not precise enough, I'll try to change the clock setting to see if it works better.

[metaphys]

well on my device it is not very often (and cpu load relation is just a suposition and wasn't prooven for now...)
I've made some new test about the memory but and I get a new bug. I think that there must actually be several different problem. Because I can reproduce "undefined instruction" on some file systematicly and some other undefinined instruction error are like random (for example the ones in the test-codec plugin can occurs from early beginning till middle of the whole files tested)
I've made a lot test yesteday so I think we can count out disk problem (I reformated the device, double checked the partition, installed the test file with firmware usb)
II don't have all detail here cause i'm still at work but I'm done with it now so I'll be aroud in one hour or so...

[Rarog]

Finally I have internet again and could get the last changes and I can confirm like alienkid, that the 2nd display finally works. It's good to see Rockbox on my MP3 player again.

[alienkid10]

Rarog: do you get lines across like me? That you can pick out from a normal use distance? (about 10-12in from face)

Pamaury: is there a bold version of the default font available at it's default pt size? Personally I would find it easier to read.

EDIT: Also the power % read out varies greatly from the OF. 97% when OF says ~85%

[pamaury]

The battery has not been calibrated so the battery percentage is wrong.

[alienkid10]

OK. I'm working on getting a compile environment setup in a VM right now. How can I get the build of rockbox that is auto-built? (everyday?) Someone linked me it in IRC yesterday but I don't know how to find it.

That link is updated everytime SVN changes, and is still in the SVN logs.
