KOA2 KOReader on KOA2: Possible yet? - Page 3

That definitely generated more, though whether it's helpful I don't know

Re: the brightness, yes it does

Oops, posted before I saw your edit. Let me restart

(I assume you need me to strace before launching?)

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Stop the presses. I'm an idiot.

So, change that to true and try again?

** waiting on ye olde reboot **

NiLuJe · 07-01-2018, 02:23 PM

In short, yep ^^.

7hir7een · 07-01-2018, 02:26 PM

It works!!!!!

ETA: the page turn buttons don't appear to, though. Is there something extra I have to turn on, or should that work out of the box if it were going to work?

The brightness slider/toggle works fine, I know you were questioning re: that

NiLuJe · 07-01-2018, 02:32 PM

@7hir7een: I vaguely remember something about the buttons actually sending events being tied to... something, but I can't recall the details.

You can double-check that by running the exact same hexdump experiment as before *while KOReader is running*, and see if you get something that way or not...

7hir7een · 07-01-2018, 02:38 PM

No results from hexdump /dev/input/by-path/platform-gpio-keys-event within koreader

NiLuJe · 07-01-2018, 02:40 PM

@7hir7een: Okay, good, at least that's not another stupid typo ^^.

Does it look like the issue described here?

7hir7een · 07-01-2018, 02:45 PM

If I'm not being illiterate again, I think that's saying there was an issue with mismatching orientations? I always read in portrait mode, so that wouldn't be the case here.

NiLuJe · 07-01-2018, 02:51 PM

@7hir7een: Yeah, that's what I understood, too.

That vaaaaguely made sense, but another possibility might be that it's tied to something that we're SIGSTOP'ping....

And just to double-check: that wasn't a "no framework" startup, was it? Because that's essentially broken on FW 5.x

.

So, another quick experiment:

While KOReader is running, but before doing the hexdump experiment again, run

Code:

killall -cont awesome

, then the hexdump thing again

.

(You'll probably get bits of the default UI seeping through, that's to be expected. Run killall -stop awesome & trigger a full screen update (f.g., closing the top menu) to get things back in order).

7hir7een · 07-01-2018, 02:58 PM

Still no results that way.

And no, I used the first "Start the filemanager" option

No results with hexdump /dev/input/by-path/platform-max77796-key-event in or out of koreader with button presses.

ETA: yep, power button!

NiLuJe · 07-01-2018, 02:58 PM

Also, another thing to try: the hexdump thing, but against /dev/input/by-path/platform-max77796-key-event instead...

EDIT: Nope, that's the power button, I think...

NiLuJe · 07-01-2018, 03:09 PM

On the off-chance there's a magic lipc property...

Code:

lipc-probe -av

(OTOH, I may have gotten the syntax wrong. It'll output a crapton of stuff ^^).

Also, stupid question: do the buttons work again once out of KOReader?

7hir7een · 07-01-2018, 03:11 PM

Here you go

ETA: yes they work after exiting koreader

7hir7een · 07-01-2018, 03:49 PM

I hate that this program doesn't have a good search function, but i did finally find a gpio-keys folder while poking around. I copied what it let me from /sys/devices/platform/gpio-keys/ to desktop and zipped it up.

No idea whether it has anything you would possibly need in there, but I see some numbers and ids and things

ETA: as far as I can tell there's just some loose bits and bobs of code, but if for some reason it's a no-no to post this, I'll remove it asap
