If you run into device-specific problems using PocketHAL, please download this version of the library.

Running this version will create a log file in the root of the device's file system. Posting this log here with a description of the problem you experience will help us track it down and fix it.

Hi,

I have tried 1.0.4 and then 1.0.5RC1 (found a link here in some thread) on Samsung i320 and the buttons appear rotated. E.g. when I press "left" button it works as "down".

Btw, it worked correctly on some older version of the lib, 0.7.something IIRC.

Here is the log from device:

Thanks in advance!

Looks like every 320x240 device out there has this problem... Samsung keeps doing it wrong.

I will try to get you a fix for testing tonight.

[Kzinti]

Here is a version with a potential fix for the Samsung i320. Let me know if this works.

Many thanks, Kzinti, it works now!
Would you be so kind to build an non-logged version of RC2? We're planning a release in a few days and I need it to be working on i320.

[Kzinti]

There you go!

I just gave this version a go and it doesn't appear to have the GDISurface* Display::GetBackBuffer(). Will that functionality be appearing in 1.0.5?

[Kzinti]

No GDISurface is in 1.1.0, and only you have seen it so far =)

[j.edwards]

I feel special

Thanks, Kzinti!
