Software
Boot loader
- Qi 9ef7754b8243457c mostly because it does not touch Glamo and I am
trying to help in debugging Glamo problems.
- mmcblk0p1 and mmcblk0p2 both have /boot so that I can have a
fallback kernel with Qi just in case
Kernel
- andy-tracking 9ecc089861ab238e
- patch for wlan
- patch to recover kernel messages after crash
Userland
Generally I try to use Debian GNU/Linux unstable with as little software from other sources as possible. I'm quite conservative and try to stick to known-to-work programs (currently unsure about bleeding edge stuff like E17 window manager, vala programming language and Qi).
Also note that I run my X programs as a normal user.
programs from debian main
- Xorg
- xserver-xorg-video-fbdev for reliable graphics output (xserver-xorg-video-glamo will hopefully replace this soon!)
- xdm as display manager
- xvkbd as virtual keyboard
- icewm as window manager
- gpsd for talking to GPS
- watchdog for making sure that I can recover from kernel crash without having to remove battery.
programs for reliable GSM calls
I do not use whole frameworkd for reliability reasons involved around dbus. (FIXME: add link to bug reports)
- gsm0710muxd abcbcd7cc532a8834906de3fc24c8f8fe7643cd4 for multiplexing data to Calypso
- ogsmd module of frameworkd e6c36e917cc75809f60fa587b68bbf6be0c5bf58 for actually talking to Calypso (Note that I am not using other modules of frameworkd for reliability reasons)
- kapula for making calls. I start it with options --popup-sms --no-oeventsd --no-ousaged --logfile
- answering-machine for receiving calls and playing the ringtone]. This lets me answer calls with AUX button even if X is dead.
- gsm-watchdog for periodically checking that everything works and forcibly restarting gsm0710muxd, ogsmd and answering-machine if something is wrong.
Useful tools
- touchscreen-lock for locking the screen
Deprecated stuff
