Title: NO Go
Post by: coolass on July 30, 2004, 12:05:31 am
 Is any one running anything other than the standard stock Sharp rom on their 6000's ? I've tried to get pocketworkstation running but it's a no go and also the myPDA package doesn't get past a blank X screen. It seems like it never took this long for roms and hydrid roms to come out for all the other Z's even when the developers don't own that particular unit.

There aren't many people that own this deivce, yet.
I have been working on getting openzaurus on it. Haven't gotten the touchscreen working on it yet. I think Sharp does something weird with it to get it working on their rom.

 I finally have pocketworkstation running using keypebble vnc viewer it's ok because I don't have to shut down Qtopia to use it.

If X/Qt runs on the 6000, it might be faster than the vncviewer.

I use X/Qt instad of fbvnc+vnc viewer on mt C760 and it gave much better results for me.

I installed:Don't think they are all necessary for just running pocket workstation, but I installed first. then wondered if pocket workstation could run it's apps on X/Qt.

To get pocket workstation to run, I just editted the zvncserver in debroot/usr/local/bin - remove or # out all lines starting from "Xvnc ..." to "sleep 5" and set "DISPLAY=localhost:0.0"

Then start X/Qt and from a terminal run Vncserver.

Basically, you have just told pocket workstation ot send all its apps to X/Qt bypassing the need for XVnc and fbvnc.

It doesn't quite work for me either on the C860. Pocketworkstation comes up an empty screen in XQt because icewm and the terminal apps weren't found. It looks to me like the icewm and terminal commands are not being executed in the new debroot environment. The chroot command sequence seems quite different from the one in the Gentoo install, and I'm having a hard time figuring it out. I may also be having problems left over from changes I made to get pocketworkstation working with keypebble and fbvnc.

I have a feeling that a lot of people would use pocketworkstation/XQt inside Cacko if there was a good how-to. I've collected all the information on ZUG and elsewhere that I could find and it all requires a lot of time and effort to adapt and get working.

I've been a newbie lurking and benefiting greatly from all the information in this forum over the last couple of months and would be willing to start returning something by writing up a how-to, but I'll need some help from those who know more what they're doing. I suggest assuming a common starting point after extracting the pocketworkstation files and running postinst.sh. If Stubear and/or others who are running pocketworkstation directly into XQt rather than with using some version of vnc could post the files they modified and the command sequence, I will try to boil it down into relatively easy steps for a how-to.

Perhaps this thread should be moved to the XQt forum?

Stu do you have a screen shot of your settings so that iI can compare them or can you tell me what to put back into the zvncserver file so that I can continue using Keypebble vnc....Thanks
