Pdaxqtrom & Apps, Started new thread Options

[Jon_J]

I hope nobody minds me starting a dedicated thread for pdaXqtrom.
I thought it would be easier to search.

Meanie has posted information about pdaXqtrom here:
http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=16209
and here:
http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=18789

BTW, Thank you Meanie for such a comprehensive package.

I'm not an experienced Linux user, so many of the applications in the apps package are foreign to me.
I'm using the cramfs versions.
I installed pdaXqtrom 1.1.0 - beta 0.7.5 first all by itself.
Then later decided to install pdaXqtApps - beta 0.7.5
I have this installed to a 128MB Lexar SD card formatted as ext2
I haven't installed zgcc2-95-2
I have a couple questions, and observations to list.
I use Cacko Lite 1.23 on my C3100
I enabled a 128MB swapfile in Cacko.

Do I need the automounter? I assumed it is already installed by Cacko.
I have 2 mount points shown in console for the two packages that I installed.

Has the libfloat problem mentioned here been addressed?
http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...ndpost&p=124465

I tried to launch Abiword from the X/Qt tab in Qtopia and it only launches X/Qt, but not Abiword.
So far, I've been able to launch Dillo and GQview.
(I can launch these from X/Qt and from Qtopia)
GQview doesn't seem to be able to "see" my picture files in any of my directories on my FAT formatted /hdd3.
Is the problem with GQview related to my FAT formatted drive? It shows the directory structure, but no files.
I haven't tried any other applications yet, but will add more to this post later.
Below is the output from console during the install process.
pdaXqtrom-base was already installed. This is from when I installed pdaXqtrom-apps.

Well, I just restored by SL-6000 to the sharp ROM, and am trying pdaXqtrom on it.
For the time being, I am launching as root (xlauncher) as I do not wish to setup sudo.

It seems better after a reboot, which makes me ask if there is a simple way to
mount all the cramfs images, as currently I am invoking the install script each
time after a reboot, which is really overkill.

Update - just noticed X is running at 240x320

[miskinis]

There seems to be an issue on the SL-6000, such that trying to switch to the
X11 root window becomes impossible. The X server stays up, and new clients
can be created, but they just cause a white rectangle to be overlayed on the normal
Qtopia desktop.

I'm seeing another issue where the (regular) terminal program no longer accepts
input after a resume. You must kill it and start a new one.

Anyway, I would be interested to know if other folks are seeing these issues on the 6000,
or if I'm the only one evwn trying this... Thanks, John
