ah ok, hipboi is working on A20 release
<shineworld>
should be a good step up, overall for 2Gb ram
<Swat->
So it will get 2GB mem and 1Gb/s nic :-)
<shineworld>
so I can run all in ram
<Swat->
Can't wait for that one
<shineworld>
I would like to move all in ram so I can shutdown without troubles in any moment
<Swat->
heh
<Swat->
How are you using your cubie atm? I would like to make it my desktop :)
<krimpsok>
My original plan was to use it as a retro emu box but since it seems forcing 1280x1024 through hdmi on Android is a no go it's going to be a Sickbeard/Couchpotato/Headphones headless server.
<Swat->
ah bugger
<shineworld>
atm I'm using cubie connected to a 7" 800x480 lvds true 24bit display with a resistive touch pannel
<shineworld>
you have to manage SystemServer.java to bypass some re-set of hdmi to defaults
<krimpsok>
I did some work there but it's a no go
<krimpsok>
Atleast not with my current knowledge
<shineworld>
really you should add new configurations to every place where hdmi is notices
<shineworld>
or enable EIDID with new kernel support which recognize your monitor if is compatible
<shineworld>
but is not my case
<krimpsok>
That doesn't work with android, atleast not with the monitors i've tested with
<shineworld>
I just attached 5 different industrial LCD backligted pannels and all working fine
<krimpsok>
it'll just center the interface weirdly and try to pass 960x720 through
<shineworld>
try to set your display settings in script.bin and remove any display forcing (DisplayManager dm.setXXXX) so at boot Android don't change your settings
<shineworld>
Works !
<krimpsok>
Also tried that, didn't work for me
<krimpsok>
Tried with around 5 monitors
<shineworld>
you have forgot to // some line
<krimpsok>
Do use the hdmi port?
<krimpsok>
forgot you in that sentence lol
fzerorubigd has quit [Ping timeout: 268 seconds]
<shineworld>
I'm use LCD signals way....
<shineworld>
sorry
<shineworld>
but I will try also with hdmi
<krimpsok>
If you could I would be really grateful
<shineworld>
not at home where my 1920x1080 is well supported ever
<shineworld>
at office I've so fu..ing ASUS monitor with so strange resolutions....
<krimpsok>
hehe
<shineworld>
BUT I'm in case of HDMI -> DVI (using cable)
<shineworld>
I don't have any HDMI monitor
<shineworld>
so I'm using cable converter
<shineworld>
on Dell U2311 FullHD working fine
<krimpsok>
Well my original goal was to go hdmi -> vga and I thought that might cause a problem so I tried my HDMI monitor but it did the same thing
<krimpsok>
then I switched to my other DVI monitors and it also did it :/
<shineworld>
why you don't use a normal LCD pannel instead of a HDMI monitor to do your retro (I think mame) object
<shineworld>
?
<krimpsok>
Costs really, I have multiple 17" lcds over here
<shineworld>
you can find a lot of used LCD pannels on ebay for very few euro
<krimpsok>
Would be a waste to get another panel imo
<shineworld>
uhm... but your box will be in a proper box ?
<shineworld>
you can dismantle monitor and attach cubie directly to LCD pannel
<krimpsok>
I'll be honest here and say that my electronic skills are far from great.
<shineworld>
ah ok, in my first tries I've attached cubie to a laptop display (laptop was broken on mobo)
<krimpsok>
Hmm you just gave me an idea since I also have loads of laptops I don't use anymore
<shineworld>
fortunately I've catch LCD pannel datasheet with the required 5 timins values
<shineworld>
the laptop LCD could be a normal LCD or a LVDS LCD (better if last)
<shineworld>
the only question is detect LCD product name and get display data-sheet with timing in net
<shineworld>
when you have timing and connections wires the job is simple
<shineworld>
connect the wires and configure script.bin with right timings
<krimpsok>
I might just try that, thanks for the tip!
