Setting up Arca OS on Lenovo Yoga S1 12, running into a few hiccups

(1/6) > >>

Ibrahim Hakeem:
I've decided to give Arca OS a shot on a Yoga S1 which I was recently given and while most of it's been a breeze so far, I've inevitably ran into a few issues which I can't quite get past... In order to avoid going into a ramble I'll list them out as plainly as I can.

>Whilst trying to get the touch screen to function, I've been getting an error during boot stating that amouse.sys is not installed and therefore the line in CONFIG.SYS has been ignored. I am currently using the latest version of the Arca Noae driver. The hardware manager also tells me the driver has been installed however and appears to refer to amouse.sys for AUX_0 PS/2 and MOUSE_0 IBM

>When trying to run UVCVIEW, I am getting the 0000FF14 Obtain Thread error. The webcam light turns on but I receive no picture.

>Audio is working which is a relief, but it seem be playing both through the 3.5mm jack and the speakers. I've used the /A:1 switch as the wiki recommends but the recommended startup.cmd script simply errors out and doesn't seem to do anything useful.

As always, thank you all kindly for your advice.

I'm also currently searching for any solutions that might already exist and will update as I go if I find anything in order to help future users who may run into the same problems.

It seems to me that you added amouse.sys to your config.sys whereas you needed to modify the existing amouse.sys device driver statement.

The webcam uses isochronous transfers that are not yet supported by the ArcaOS 12.x USB drivers. Try and use the 11.17 drivers instead. Or use the latest Lars Erdmann USB driver set.

Hi Ibrahim

I always like to document the tests of hardware on ArcaOS and OS/2.
Can you please provide me the Model number of your Thinkpad and the PCI.exe and lsusb report (I got this article explaining how to do that).

My plan is to document your machine also on the OS2World wiki for reference.

Regards

No worries at all Martin, my Thinkpad is a type 20CD and I've got the requested output TXTs attached. Please tell me if there's anything else I can do to help.

I misread a vital step in your guide and after following it correctly I was able to boot without any errors with the drivers appearing to load correctly... unfortunately touch is still not working. I've also attached a copy of my config.sys because I feel I may be making a trivial mistake without even realizing it. I am also thinking that there might even be a hardware compatibility issue due to this being an older version of the device for which the driver was originally written for...

Martin Iturbide:
Thanks Ibrahim
