The One Nub Club

Good luck, Stan. If you win 50 million, don't forget about us all. :lol:

Hmm, you could try going back to the first Zaxxon firmware that was released and using the manual Hotfix 3 patch. That certainly worked fine for me every time I did it. I never got around to using the latest firmware until last night so I didn't even know about the date loop bug.

No worries. I'll figure it out. It's otherwise solid and money well spent
In case it wasn't obvious, I actually bought Locri's one nubber. I originally had no interest in a one nub unit, but several things kinda came together yesterday.
First, this was the week that I had estimated I would get mine way back when they first started shipping. Second, Locri is also in Toronto. It took me 30 minutes to get to the subway station where we made the exchange. It couldn't have been any more convenient. If he had sold it last week, or been anywhere else, I wouldn't have gone for it. The combination of the two was sufficiently coincidental that I'm buying a lottery ticket for tonight's 50 million dollar draw.

I'd get the latest image from http://openpandora.org/firmware/
The date fix is implemented already

If I win, I will buy one nub Pandoras for all!

The http://openpandora.org/firmware/images/Angstrom-pandora-xfce-image-glibc-ipk-2010.4-test-20100809-omap3-pandora.ubifs.img file needs a corresponding .md5 file.

I renamed Angstrom-pandora-xfce-image-glibc-ipk-2010.4-test-20100809-omap3-pandora.ubifs.img to rootfs.img

I calculated the MD5 hash using WinMD5 and rootfs.md5 contains:

When you blast the nubs with compressed air, what's the best way to do it? I bought a one nubber and when I got it I found out it was a no nubber. The left nub was obviously the one got the pandora diagnosed as a one nubber but when I went to use the right one I found out it was also broke. At first, the right one seems to work, but then it starts resisting in the Down to right region until it just refuses to go down, right, or anything in between. They don't really feel gritty but I should at least try it I guess.

Well, if you win 50 Million, just donate 1 million to the team, so batch 3 won't need any more preorders

I'm joining the "one nub club", my left nub just failed today (it plays alone, moving randomly my mouse cursor all over the screen ).

What i've done is then to use mouse button emulation. You need only to set "Mouse emulation" in accessibility menu of Xfce and to modify your ~/.pndXmodmap file.
I've added the following line in mine :

keycode 147 = Pointer_EnableKeys NoSymbol Pointer_EnableKeys <--- pandora key is now used to toggle mouse emulation mode
keycode 110 = Pointer_Button1 NoSymbol Pointer_Button1 <--- A Button for mouse button 1
keycode 117 = Pointer_Button2 NoSymbol Pointer_Button2 <--- X Button for mouse button 2
keycode 115 = Pointer_Button3 NoSymbol Pointer_Button3 <--- B Button for mouse button 3

hope that helps. For those who use mmenu the best is to compile xkbset :
http://zx81.zx81.free.fr/public/pandora/hack/xkbset.gz (<--- here is a compiled version).

and then you need to add in you .xinitrc screen something like :
xkbset m
xkbset exp =m

I might add your xkbset binary in that post, though (since my net will be down atleast for the weekend)

i haven't read your post before. but that's good, it seems we found the same solution

First, the right nub is the flakey one. Looking it up in op_test_inputs it makes sudden jumps from the middle to the edge and stuff. It's not gritty or anything, just doesn´t have any mid range.
Second, there is definitely something wrong with the network. Even though the connection is clean, high quality, 0 packet loss, it still reports it can only get a connection at 1Mbit to 12Mbit. I'll need to poke around the driver some, now that I can
