C860 + Beta1 New Install/new User/new Problems

I have not been following this group and there is a lot to search, but is there a "beta1 fix annoying issues guide or site"?

The good:

Install was easy, just like Cacko.
Getting my WiFi and Socket Rev L BT working was easy.
PAN networking to my 3G phone was also easy. Avg speed is about 320 kbits with scp, 400 kbits with wget.
Feed has all the goodies I need. Installing them now.
GUI faster than X/Qt.

The bad:

Window manager not as efficient as others. Looking for recommendations to get me started quickly. I was using blackbox with X/Qt. Replacement WM should have links to all apps. Unsure how this works with pdaXrom. Perhaps it is just a setup issue. Adding the task applet helped a lot.

The ugly:

Getting random blank screen and suspend. I have shutoff both with the taskbar applet, but it still happens. UPDATE: Fixed, there is a conflict with the blanking applet and the power settings. I had to kill the blanking applet.

The very ugly, this could be a deal breaker:

Using BT PAN with Socket Rev L I get corrupted packets. I know it is not my phone because I do not have this problem with Win/XP + Phone 3G or Cacko + Ambicom BT. I know I have 2 variables here. I will test Ambicom BT later. That may prove nothing since they use different BT stack components. UPDATE: pdaXrom + Ambicom BT, no problem. Is there a newer BlueZ for beta1?

Looking for a little direction here. My top reason to switch to pdaXrom was getting my Socket BT to work.

Thanks.

Cacko 1.23/socket Cf Bt Rev L Not Working

I just obtained a Socket CF BT to replace my Hagiwara sys-com (blue monkey) CF adapter.

Cacko 1.23 (c860) did recognize the CF card as "Socket Bluetooth Card v2.5", but I am unable to communicate with it. E.g. hcitool scan fails with "Device is not available: No such device".

lsmod returns:

hidp
rfcomm
l2cap [hidp rfcomm]
pxa_bi
storage_fb
usbdcore
usbdmonitor
hci_uart (unused)
bluez [hipd rfcomm l2cap hci_uart]
serial_cs (unused)
sharp_mmcsd_m

What am I missing?

Thanks.

I am switching to pdaXrom (when I can find a free weekend) and will have different URLs for pdaXrom binaries if the above binaries do not work with pdaXrom.
