Chris.

Yes and here is the official announcement:
There is a new pdaXrom ROM available at www.pdaxrom.org
What\'s new:
- hostapp wifi drivers
- simple Look & Feel utility
- xcardinfo utility
- fixed problem with time resetting after suspend
- fixed problem in battery applet
- preinstalled sd drivers
Know bugs:
- don\'t use On/Off button for device wakeup, use HOME/PowerOn button on keyboard
- some bluetooth card can freeze device after suspend/wakeup, need eject before suspend
- PPP dialer need more testing
Please try this new ROM and report any bugs in our new buglist page at http://www.pdaxrom.org/buglist.php (http://www.pdaxrom.org/buglist.php) - the buglist page is also in testing phase, it still needs javascript check on the submit form and more. But please use it and test it too. We need to get the bugs gathered up in one place in order to kill them :-)
News for the frontpage of ZUG is awaiting approval.

Could someone tell me what version of libc you\'re using?
I have a C750 on order and will need something with libc2.3 (to run the latest Octave and R).
If, as I fear, you\'re still using libc2.2, are there any plans to upgrade to 2.3? Is this ROM based on one of the others (for example the underlying components of the Sharp ROM)? Any info appreciated.

we use stable glibc 2.2.5, because had problems with glibc 2.3.2.
ROM not based on any another and building from sources with pdaXrom builder. I have config file for build glibc 2.3.2 ROM, but not all apps will work ok with it.
-
What are the libc troubles?
Where can I get hold of the pdaXrom builder (and the config file if that\'s okay)?
Thanks,

I flashed this last night... tested dlink 660w, it worked. linksys still didn\'t.

I thought my \"Socket CF+ LP WLAN Card REV A 1.00\" didn\'t work even after installing the pcmcia_fix, turns out I only had to start the network
/etc/pcmcia/network start eth0
This step was not required for my linksys WCF12 card.
-
A good rule is to try using the control program for network - my network card won\'t work either until i run the control program after a fresh reflash.
-
I like the battery applet changes. Instead of the usual 4 steps of \'full\', \'nearly empty\', \'really nearly empty\' and \'empty\' you get a correct reading at 1% or so intervals. Great!
-
With regards to the buglist, an nice option would be to be able to add comments to a bug. For example, bug number (5), libpng.so.3 being required for mplayer. This library is supplied with gqview. Install that and mplayer works.
-
How do I remove applets from the bar? Clicking the [X] doesnt seem to do anything.
Also, it would be nice to have a button to stop wireless networking. Maybe the wireless applet does this, but it won\'t start on my 760/buffalo. The only way to stop networking now, is ifconfig eth0 down && cardctl eject 0
Otherwise, a very nice rom!!!! keep up the good work!

Paul: Click and hold the bar anywhere and use the remove function..

Thanks! 2 clocks is a bit much to look at

Are they any built-in PIM apps in the new pdaxrom? Which PIM apps can be installed later? Can one use the tkc products in conjunction with the new ROM? What are the limitations with respect to installing other applications?
Many thanks,
Ashu :?:
-
Ashu,
No PIM apps yet. Tkc products are QT based and will not work with the pdaXrom
-
New apps uploaded today... dillo-xft (very nice, blazing fast on my c760), rdesktop and a small PIM app.
use the option \'-g 640x420\' with rdesktop for near perfect resolution with pdaxrom :]
thanks again Cacko

i\'ve got a problem with my symbol spectrum24 wi-fi card even after applying that patch ipk.
the card status is not ready, and i canot get eth0 to show up in a ifconfig. i rebooted as recommended, i even did the pcmcia start eth0, but it failed. (and since i already went back to the 1.20 qt rom without writing it down, i don\'t remember the exact error)
any ideas?

Omg rdesktop is nice! Thanks!
Paul
-
RDesktop is perfect. It is now possible to run any Windows applications from a Terminal server. Running in full screen 640x480 (-g 640x480 -f) is also possible. Thanks.

ya, I edited the dillorc file to change the default home page and set the settings to
640x450 ... that seems to be fullscreen... also, dillo has that little \"full screen\" button in the lower right, it saves some of that menu bar space.
dillo is just ----><----- that close... to being usable.
I still think it should be included by default -- since it\'s just so small.

For as long as I can remember dillo has been ----><----- that close. I only use it because of it\'s speed, which is great on the Zaurus. I\'ve also used it on my prehistoric 150MHZ linux laptop and it is just as fast.
-
it\'s amazing on the device.... the scroll speed is finally there. man, I hope they get the render stuff fixed:
both layout and missing images ...

Hey! Stupid question, but I could not find how to setup a proxy in dillo?
Any clue? There is no entry in dillorc that I could find.
Thanks!
-
the dillo-xft seens to have the little F and V menus...
in those menus, there\'s a proxy setting.
the other dillo didn\'t seem to have this menu (0.8.0?) non-xft ...
Scott

Thanks, I will install this version then!
