| 00:44.18 | libv | i think it might just be an int being passed through, or worse, a char or so |
| 00:44.30 | libv | so the interface should be really simple |
| 00:44.43 | Skaag | it's calling BSP_disp_lcd_set_bright() |
| 00:44.51 | ssvb | Skaag: and in any case, better enable more debugging output for sunxi disp code and check what it is doing, for example I had troubles with 16bpp r5g6b5 mode because of this hardcoded DISP_FORMAT_ARGB1555 crap here: https://github.com/linux-sunxi/linux-sunxi/blob/sunxi-3.0/drivers/video/sunxi/disp/dev_fb.c#L912 :) |

| 00:48.09 | Skaag | hopefully that's all it is. a reversed default brightness issue. |

| 01:26.11 | Skaag | in the third ioctl() argument |
| 01:28.24 | Skaag | this is what's actually called by the driver: __s32 BSP_disp_layer_set_bright(__u32 sel, __u32 hid, __u32 bright) |

| 13:17.24 | buZz | well, i think it can |
| 13:17.34 | buZz | never tried, these labels have some encoding on the back |
| 13:17.42 | buZz | for the printer to know where a label starts etc |
| 13:18.15 | orly_owl | that 4FFF N618 looks nice |
| 13:18.27 | orly_owl | wonder if you can replace the OS |
| 13:18.31 | orly_owl | like openinkpot |
| 13:18.33 | buZz | supposedly yes |
| 13:18.45 | buZz | the guy who sells me one said i could run any linux on it |
| 13:19.04 | orly_owl | there has to be a distro that actually supports it though |
| 13:19.10 | buZz | cool |
| 13:19.41 | orly_owl | hmm? |
| 13:19.51 | orly_owl | only b/g wifi, is it an older model? |
| 13:20.13 | buZz | i think so |
| 13:20.16 | orly_owl | the screen looks good nough |
| 13:20.23 | orly_owl | probably why he had so many then |
| 13:22.54 | orly_owl | maybe i can source one locally/online |

| 13:38.24 | orly_owl | heh ok |
| 13:38.32 | orly_owl | you're in india? |
| 13:39.13 | buZz | netherlands |
| 13:39.21 | buZz | 25 euros for secured shipping |
| 13:39.24 | orly_owl | oh euros, right |
| 13:39.26 | buZz | on a 30 euro item O_o |
| 13:39.32 | orly_owl | |: |
| 13:39.49 | orly_owl | hmmmmmmmmm |
| 13:40.06 | buZz | even unsecured shipping, is 18 euros |
| 13:40.31 | orly_owl | im sure it sells for far more retail |
| 13:40.56 | orly_owl | 55 eur is 70 aud |
| 13:41.26 | orly_owl | still a good price |

| 13:47.08 | orly_owl | slighlty less |
| 13:47.25 | orly_owl | oliv3r: im never sure if they run a libre os |

| 13:51.58 | oliv3r | personally, I am waiting for color eink (16 shades of color is plenty) with something like the A10 powering it |
| 13:52.04 | oliv3r | making linux possible on it |
| 13:52.10 | orly_owl | that would be great |

| 13:52.39 | orly_owl | may as well use a13, you dont need sata or hdmi |
| 13:52.47 | oliv3r | hdmi out :p |

| 19:34.40 | jinzo | servili007, mnemoc == amery |
| 19:34.53 | servili007 | ah, good to know, thank you |
| 19:36.51 | servili007 | Also, anyone willing to test some CM10 work that has an mk802ii, let me know |
| 19:37.31 | jinzo | uh, you're fighting the noble battle - how's it going? |
| 19:38.13 | servili007 | fine actually, lol, my source building setup isn't wonderful, but I've got working builds |
| 19:38.34 | jinzo | sounds good |
| 19:48.02 | techn_ | servili007: seems that you have different mk802ii than the other |
| 19:48.24 | servili007 | techn_, based on? |
| 19:48.40 | techn_ | in you .fex there seems to be addional/different parameters |
| 19:49.00 | servili007 | the additions are from the most recent 10-29 rikomagic release |
| 19:49.05 | techn_ | [boot_disp], ie |
| 19:49.09 | servili007 | right |
| 19:49.55 | techn_ | also could you check with a10-meminfo which one is right density |
| 19:50.15 | techn_ | 2048/4096 |
| 19:50.36 | servili007 | according to the other user, they did, and it does show 4096. I was taking their word for it, but since I had one disassembled and my memory was reporting right, I didn't bother |
| 19:54.18 | mnemoc | servili007: making a .fex based on a different device is... risky |
| 19:54.51 | servili007 | mnemoc: I took quite a few precautions and thoroughly tested both devices, I'm quite confident in it |
| 19:55.16 | mnemoc | servili007: why didn't you start from the script.bin in nanda? |
| 19:55.24 | servili007 | I did |
| 19:55.38 | mnemoc | your commit says it's based on the uhost |
| 19:55.58 | servili007 | right, I started at the mk802ii, then used the uhost and mele and a few others to figure out details |
| 19:56.11 | servili007 | since, honestly, the stock script seemed to be a mess of guess work and copy-pastes |
| 19:56.48 | servili007 | most mk802ii users have started to flash uhost updates to solve problems because of the better builds on that front |
| 19:57.25 | servili007 | plus I own one as well, so I already had some work and experience on it |
| 20:00.21 | servili007 | I still have one more commit to make before I'd like it pulled, I can change the density based on what meminfo reports |
| 20:00.57 | techn_ | servili007: if that is same device with mk802-ii.. I'd like to see your commit top mk802-ii and then file renamed to correct |
| 20:01.41 | mnemoc | +1 |
| 20:02.02 | servili007 | techn_: The device is the same. I had started working on that script before the pull request for the misnamed one was created, so it floated under my radar without me saying anything |
| 20:04.30 | mnemoc | servili007: git rebase is very friendly |
| 20:04.33 | mnemoc | make a rename |
| 20:04.42 | servili007 | mnemoc: okay okay, fair enough :P |
| 20:05.02 | servili007 | I'll have it up within a few hours |
| 20:05.32 | mnemoc | one commit to rename the .fex to the name you like, another commit making the changes you want |
