Hi mastnacek! The new kernel image is added as the attchment. Instalation:
- copy uImage file to the reader's FAT32 partition - execute on the device as a root: dd if=/mnt/onboard/uImage of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=512 seek=2048 sync Warning! Yesterday I uploaded wrong file by mistake. The file in the attachment is ok now. Quote:

For the suspend it seems that it is the same as post 29 and 54 report teh same problem than me.
I had a problem with the image's size, I trimed the swap a few sector..perhaps due to that I'll try to delete the swap and rebuild it (if i manage to) |

Chuck it on an 8GB or larger microSD with USB Image Tool (Windows) or dd (Linux). And as dancol90 mentioned, remember to make a backup first! Followed this tutorial today to make it using Marek's image. Worked great, am now running debian on my Kobo Mini Thanks to everyone involved. Last edited by PhantomWiggler; 07-12-2014 at 01:07 AM.

Finally true "mini computer" I was looking around in Awesome WM and found out, that it isn't what I really want. It was so rough and ugly, and as as common-user-barely-aware-of-command-line, I was unable to configure it (and I don't want to, because I simply don't like it). I have thin stylus to work with, so I decided to install Xfce (my favorite). I installed xfce4 and xdm, then changed in .xsessions exec awesome to exec startxfce4 and did the same in .xinitrc (google helped a bit) after restart awesome showed again, but touchscreen didn't work now. With sight hope in mind I removed awesome trough telnet. Debian booted with xfce, but now I am stuck with not responding touchscreen. I still can access my kobo trough telnet, but I don't know what to do. Did I miss something? Can anybody help? I saw in another thread that 2bits got xfce working on kobo, but he didn't say how |

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...11#post2701911 And it is better to copy whole "HW CONFIG" section, not only this single byte if you want to be sure that all hardware works as it should. 2. Was touch working before in X11? It's strange, because installing xfce should have nothing to do with it. If yes, I think this may be problem with xorg.conf. Maybe installation of xfce changed it somehow. Please check xorg.conf file ("Input Device" sections) for changes. I wrote my custom touch driver (called "kobo_touch_driver.so" or something like this). Please check xorg logs if it is loading correctly during startup. For example if you upgraded xorg server, you may need to recompile it and copy to the system. Source codes are in my home directory (at least in my original image). You can compile it with "make" command. I wrote it because I had plans to implement multitouch later. But I never did (for touch device I like Android better). Because it is not finished, the universal "evdev" driver is better (for example, it can be configured to simulate RMB and you don't have to recompile it yourself). So it will be the best for you to forget about "kobo_touch_driver" and configure "evdev" driver for touch device in xorg.conf file. I was able to do it one day and it worked perfectly, so read its documentation and try different parameters. Don't forget about updating HW CONFIG section first. If you have the image from PhantomWiggler it is probably correct, but you should check it with your original SD card (sometimes the same kobo model has many revisions with different hardware). PS.

Thank you for your huge and complex answer. It works!
2. Yes touch was working before installation. In xorg.log was written error while loading driver "kobomultitouch.so", so I changed xorg.conf as you said. I didn't have to change any configuration, because it worked just fine. I would never say it will be so simple! Thank you, again! Now I only have to force wifi to work. PS. Got me. But I am from Slovakia |

Hi, vilsax...
I have absolutely the same problem. Install xfce (my preffered as well) and now touchscreen does not work. So try to repair it using telent, but I'm a little bit stuck about xorg.conf. I tested some possibilities, but wothout succes. Could you write what did you exactly change in xorg? Or may be just share your xorg.conf here... Thank you in advance... P.S.: Another big thanks for Marek... This Debian Kobo is avbsolutely wonderful! :-) |

Hi paulz_fr!
It is not so hard as it would look... I only replaced every "kobomultitouch" (or whatever was there, I don't remember) with "evdev" (the last one just for case) I higlighted it for you here: Code:
Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout0" Screen "Screen0" InputDevice "Buttons" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "MultiTouch" "CorePointer" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Buttons" Driver "evdev" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event0" # code 102 (KEY_HOME) # code 116 (KEY_POWER) EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "MultiTouch" Driver "evdev" #Driver "kobomultitouch" #Driver "mtrack" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1" Option "AccelerationScheme" "none" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "MultiTouchEV" Driver "evdev" Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1" # Option "EmulateThirdButton" "True" # Option "Emulate3Buttons" "True" # Option "SwapAxes" "True" # Option "InvertX" "True" EndSection #Section "InputDevice" # Identifier "Touch" # Driver "evdev" # Option "Device" "/dev/input/event1" # Option "EmulateThirdButton" "True" # Option "Calibration" "0 799 0 599" ## Option "SwapAxes" "True" ## Option "InvertX" "True" ## Option "Calibration" "-599 500 0 999" ## Option "Coordinate Transformation Matrix" "0, -1, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1" #EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "Card0" Driver "fbdev" Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0" # Option "Rotate" "CCW" # CW=90 UD=180 CCW=270 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Card0" EndSection |

Thank you very much, vilsax...
It worked perfectly... By the way... finally do you use XFCE on your Kobo? For me... once I had a worked touchscreen, I gave a try for XFCE, but found that it's not very friendly with touchscreen. So for the moment I rolled back to awesome environnement. Probably it's also a question of configuration, as Marek had a great job to pre-configure awesome... |

Yes, I do
But I made a thin stylus for my Kobo so I can use it more precisely. |
