Release Zaxxon Hotfix 6 - Beta 1 released!


Just one quick info:


I just fixed that annoying screen blanking when you set the time (both in first-run-wizard as well as when using the date-settings-dialogue).


I also added and tested a new configuration option in the LCD-Settings: Enable / Disable automatic screen blanking.


Will be included in the next Hotfix beta :)
Nice one ed.No more screen blanking when watching movies on panplayer.Will wait till hotfix 6 complete before trying.With tv out included also that cable i ordered from peca cant come soon enough.

So this is how it's called "screen blanking". ^^ I knew it was not an actual Screen Saver, otherwise I had found a solution much earlier ( I had to make a autostart script to disable this function).
 
ED, can you fix this bug once for all? :)

I can try, if it's not too hard.
Piece of cake, it's just lack of gvfsd packages.


extremely useful, remote folders go into /yourhomefolder/.gvfs/


Since HF5 it conflicts with other files, so --force-overwrite is necessary



Code:
sudo opkg update
sudo opkg install gvfsd-sftp sshfs-fuse --force-overwrite
sudo mousepad /etc/modutils/fuse
type "fuse" save and quit
sudo update-modules



That's a manual piece of cake, but I need to implement those packages into our image right from the start.


If they build without any issues, it's fine, but if not, the recipes need to be fixed.

Here are a few small things...


1) When launching the Boot menu ( hold down Right shoulder when booting ), allow Enter to select an option as well as the d-pad button.


2) The battery percentage appears above the time remaining at the start ( which is cool ), but after a while it appears side by side ( I didn't make any changes to settings ), which of course uses up more task bar space.


I had posted about auto-focus text boxes, but this seems to be fixed in beta 1 ( I had some problems installing it over beta 4, I had to reformat the SD card - somehow it became read only )

Oh, bug from before, Mousepad only lets you use Find once per instance. Very annoying.
 
notaz updated tv-out script in git to fix a few things up; I'll try and check it later tonight and report back.

Update .. with latest tv-out script from notaz, I think I'm in business! My wife is having a "I'm pregnant, you did this to me" entitlement night, so I'm not getting near a TV apparently, but I sniped 2 minutes, got NTSC over composite lead working with colour, and fired up Hatari to Time Bandits with iCP :) Next moment I get, I'll try svideo which if it works, should be nice and crisp. Peca cable through composite/audio .. tested good!
