I would like to try Zubuntu on my c860. It has languished for a long time. But do I gather from the above that there are extra files I need to make it work? I have found the following:
http://www.zaurus.org.uk/cortez/ubuntu/dow...d/zubuntu/c7x0/ But is there anything else I need? Thanks |

Any reason to hope for development on Tosa? I know you mentioned it earlier...just hoping for an update.

QUOTE(zmike @ Jan 13 2009, 04:15 AM) Some progress - I edited .xinitrc and it helped but the mouse is way off. Is there a way to calibrate it? Thanks! mike I do get an error "Extended Input Devices not yet supported. when I abort startx ts_calibrate does the trick. Now I have to figure out how to configure networking with a symbol technologies card I guess. Hi. Can you elaborate on what you did to get beyond the rotated screen. I am stuck there. Thanks |

Sure thng..
In .xinitrc remove the line that has xrandr in it. To calibrate your mouse - In terminal before you do a startx run ts_calibrate as root. Then when you do a startx everything should be ok. Good luck! - Mike |

OK, thanks.
Screen now looks good but ts_calibrate returns an error: CODE determinent is too small -- 0.000000 Calibration failed This was run as root before X started. On starting X cursor is 1/2 screen out. Any ideas? Also, will there be sound (seeing errors about alsa)? Cheers |

I sorted my screen and cursor on my c860 thanks to this and other threads. Thanks everyone. Zubuntu looks good!
Now I wonder what next? I need to sort out my wifi and would like to know if there is a feed to install applications from if I ever do get networking. Thanks |

I need to sort out my wifi and would like to know if there is a feed to install applications from if I ever do get networking. yes, but instead of ipkg and other things specific to sharp and angstrom, it's the regular debian package repository arrangement, so type "apt-cache search fred" to search for a package with "fred" in the name, and "apt-get install fred" when you'd found one. "dpkg -l" will list installed packages. note if you're behind a proxy, do "setenv http_proxy http://myproxy:myport" and then you can use the apt- commands no problem. Paul |

CL860 suspend issues:
issue 1: suspend happens after no user interaction EVEN if the power suppy IS plugged in. Is there any way to set the machine to suspend if the unit is battery only powered ? issue 2: using the metal power button on the side of the unit to resume from suspend wakes the Z for half a second and then resuspends repeatable ad infinitum. Using the keyboard "home" power button is the only way to wake the zaurus completely. Otherwise great work! I will be donating as soon as I get some money ! |
