Zaurus - pdaXrom / Cross Compiling With Gentoo & Distcc

« on: March 14, 2007, 01:15:50 pm »

I'm sure you've already found it, but there's also this from the Gentoo side:

Helped me build something when I first got my Z, I think it was vim but I'm not entirely sure.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Openbox Main Menu And Arrow Keys

« on: February 06, 2007, 01:56:34 pm »

Yeah, I use flux on my workstation but haven't used OB since I found it on cygwin at work years and years ago; I just thought I'd give it another chance ;-)  If I can't get the menu working from the keyboard though, I'll be blaming OB for that and install Flux instead.

I'll keep tinkering and see if I can figure it out.  Ideas anyone?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Openbox Main Menu And Arrow Keys

« on: February 06, 2007, 03:46:32 am »

I'm trying to customise openbox so I can do everything from the keyboard and not require the stylus.  Everything is pretty much how I want it now except for one really annoying problem.

I've mapped the menu button to open the openbox menu, but I then can't navigate the menu.  My arrow keys (which work perfectly well everywhere else) just don't move up and down the menu items   The odd thing is, if the top menu item has a sub menu, left and right does appear to move focus into and out of the submenu (but still not up and down).

Surely no one else suffers from this?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Best Release For C3200

« on: January 04, 2007, 03:38:34 am »

Well surely the mount issue is solved by adding something like the following to your /etc/fstab:

/dev/hda3     /mnt/microdrive   auto    auto,user,rw    0    0

of course, the mount point (/mnt/microdrive, or whatever you want to call it) will need creating first.

Thanks to both of you, I did eventually get things working (r121).  Nice to know this community is so active though, I'm sure I'll be asking you all lots of stupid questions in the months to come ;-)

Cheers

Thanks for that, I did do a few searches but didn't really know what it might be referred to as; I never thought of "bricked" ;-)

Anyway, still can't get anything more than the service menu up (progress of some sort), but at least I know where I should be looking.

Thanks again.

I've just tried installing pdaXrom's uboot via an SD and all appeared well.  It got so far through and then rebooted and ...

... and I'm still waiting.

There was a bunch of text flash up on the screen, but I didn't get chance to read it all.

There is no sign of life at all!  The screen is blank and no lights flash!  I've tried switching 'on', and switching 'on' holding down 'OK'.  I've tried removing the battery and ac lead (and leaving them out for an hour or so) before trying everything again.  There is no evidence of life at all.

Before starting all of this the battery was pretty much fully charged, and I've tried the above with the ac lead attached too (as well as just the battery).  This is the first time I've tried to install a different ROM so it was running the standard Sharp ROM previously.

I know I'm going to be really embarrassed when someone says "oh, just do this", but at the moment i'm at a complete loss.  Anyone have any idea how to rescue the situation?

Please help
Dave

ps. Oh yeah, happy new year everyone.
