A few questions for anyone out there who has one of these:
is there a zgcc that works with the stock OS image? do you have full use capabilities with an external display (meaning, can you use a lcd tv as a monitor for opera or word processing, etc.)? |

Not sure zgcc has been used yet, there might not be enough space, unless you could use the hard disk. External display is tv-out, in Qtopia at 320x240 res, the video apps are higher resolution. Maybe it might be possible to increase res for Qtopia tv-out? Rich |

Maybe it might be possible to increase res for Qtopia tv-out? Rich hrm increasing the rez for video out from inside qtopia would work. Or maybe a chroot debian environment could handle the 320x240 internal display x (yeah, but ONE xterm window is all i need if i have screen!) with higher resolution output to a tv/monitor--- now, that wold be useful. ( I assume the drive could be partitioned so that debian would be able to live on it adequately) Or, of course, pdaxrom, which is what i tend to run- could support multiple resolutions in x with different outputs. I would probably lose the cool encoding and playback, though. |
