Title: Netfront Or Opera On Pdax?
Post by: Darth_Sith on June 22, 2006, 03:49:45 am

Hi.
I use Dillo and firefox.
Firefox it's too slow.
Dillo instead is fast, but there are more website thet displays not correctly.

So I think: it's possible runs Opera or Netfront from cacko to pdaXrom?

Thanks.

that and the fact they aren't written to run under X.

(try links -g in graphic mode it's great)

Just wanted to ask: what about running them in Qtopia window? I've seen some screenshots of pdaX with Qtopia shell in a window. There were some simple programs running, but maybe it could be done even with bigger apps...

it's perhaps possible to run a chrooted cacko inside pdaxrom (outside X, or inside a patched qtopia, search for qtopia for yopy) I don't know if it will be any faster or lighter than firefox though

Hi pgas,

I'm trying links in graphics mode on oz/gpe at the moment and I'm having no luck.  Works fine in text mode.  Finding info on 'links' is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

The error I get is as follows:

Code: [Select]

Could not initialize any graphics driver.  Tried the following
drivers:
fb:
Could not get VT mode.
What driver options are listed if you put in an invalid driver?  

e.g.

Code: [Select]

hquin@c7x0:~$ links -g -driver whatever
Unknown graphics driver whatever.
The following graphics drivers are supported:
fb

On the OZ build there is only the option of fb.

hQuin.

did you try

Code: [Select]

links -help
mine spits out pages of options and got the following drivers available: x, svgalib, fb, directfb, pmshell, atheos although x is the default and works fine.

Hi Meanie,

Yes, I did that.  It gives the possible drivers but not the available ones.  When you supply an invalid one it gives the available ones.

For example, the equivalent command as above on my desktop gives the following:

Code: [Select]

$ links2 -g -driver whatever
Unknown graphics driver whatever.
The following graphics drivers are supported:
x, directfb, fb, svgalib
So it looks like the libraries aren't available or were not included.  Thanks for the info on the fuctioning driver (x).  I'll chase this up in on the links site and in the OZ forums.

The links package in OZ is just linked with fb driver.

The links-x11 package (if it exists) is linked with the x11 driver. I put links-x11 in OE, but Im not sure if its been packaged for OZ yet.
