5x00 General discussions / dhry21 and mips and more

« on: March 11, 2004, 10:21:15 am »

WHen you run dhry21 , you get a mips rating... For example, after the kernel update it increases from about 160 to 220 or so. The SL5600 is gauged at 400... Do these 2 #s correlate? If you ran the qclock and clocked the device at the max recommendation (471), should this go to near 400?

I remember reading on the forum of a command you can rewrite a /proc that changes the cpu speed too (i imagine this is what qclock does). DO you remember which file that corresponds to?

Much thanks
Greg

Security and Networking / Wellenreiter for qtopia again

« on: March 09, 2004, 07:17:44 pm »

Hi-
 javaboy (and others).. so does wellenreiter work on a sharp kernel on sl-5600. I haven\'t seen one with wireless extensions working. (using linksys compact flash 12)..
 If so,,,, if you have some info would appreciate. I saw some other roms but I dont believe they would work on sl-5600...

THank you
Greg

Hi
 I must take (blame) for being one of the \"guests\". Never did change the password when signed up and when I logged out, didn\'t go back through emails to remember , so just posted some as guest. I\'ll be more cognizant to signon when posting.

 I agree with the thread, as I\'m sure most of the other \"guests\" do.
This bulletin board rocks.

Sharp ROMs / background (theme/design/and pngs)

« on: March 03, 2004, 09:58:59 am »

Ill do some more checking. However, I tried to look at some of the specific files to find a match.

I see theme and design. Theme has light, qpe etc

Design has use wallpaper (but none) next to it, so its not finding any out there I guess, shade text, then style -- windows  title bar-- zCrystalblue,and color scheme desert.

Is there a writeup or some more info on which of these I need to persue?

Thank you

Sharp ROMs / zethereal / nemesis

« on: March 03, 2004, 09:50:12 am »

hi,
 has anyone gotten these to work on a sharp rom? (zynergy) for sl-5600?
It comes back not in gzip format. Im imagined that it is packaged differently even though its still an ipk ...

tried both zethereal 0.9 gz and zethereal 1.0_arm.ipk and nemesis 1.32.5

Sharp ROMs / background (theme/design/and pngs)

HI,
Thanks for reply. The screensaver was bmp but Im interested in the file that is the background behind settings, apps, pim etc, that the icons show up over. I thought it would be nice to change that picture to what I want , so far unsuccessful.

Boy, this is driving me nuts... Unless this is a composite pic made of even smaller ones. I have gone to several directories copied all *.png to /mnt/card and file transferred back to my desktop and none of these thumbnails match... Now on a mission to find out what it is

Sharp ROMs / background (theme/design/and pngs)

« on: March 02, 2004, 09:59:15 pm »

Hi,
 Im running zynergy on sl-5600. Im trying to play around with theme/design and background.

Mostly, Id like to change the default background on each of the tabs, looks like a dogleg left on a golf course amidst a blue background. I have searched for *.png and found some but none matched this. (i tried to find the biggest ones), qpe-logo.png, Zaurus-logo.png etc. I imagine if I replace the png with my own, (cut down to size of course) I could have my own image. This is not the screensaver but the background for each of the apps.

===============================================
Secondly, of interest using the sync to backup to my computer (winxp), it doesnt back up everything. I did a search for all *.png on my computer and found a decent number, and did a

cd /
find . -name *.png on the zaurus and found TONS MORE. So, I did the backup to the sd card from the zaurus but its not an easy way to sort thru files this way... anyone else?

Thanks

Sharp ROMs / ZYNERGY interesting findings

« on: March 01, 2004, 12:25:49 am »

hi,
 i installed zynergy and found a few interesting things.
(sl-5600)

1- I had open zaurus on last and abandoned that. When I go to system info, I see opie 1.0.1,,, linux kernel 2.4.18 and open zaurus version 0.0.. Apparently some remants of oz remain? I followed procedure of the update and flash and ran clean. ANyone else came from oz and saw similar? My thoughts might be to try to delete all partitions as best I can and reinstall unless others have any other ideas?? Where does sysinfo pick up info from?

2- Is this running opie or qtopia? I can sync with qtopia desktop.

3- Packages.. Under add/remove software , I too could not use gui as it would immediately end, with nothing. I could install manually with ipkg install package.ipk. THe package installer does see the packages on my cards. (and even has blue circle around the openssh installed ones). When I go to uninstall, it only contains the 3 that I installed nothing earlier.

4- When I display partitions:

/dev/root for / is 100% full
/dev/ram1 for /dev is 61% full  rw
/dev/mtdblock3 for /home is 17% full

/home contains:

tmp etc zaurus QtPalmtop samba root userdata sharp and system...
 all normal after install?

Sharp ROMs / zynergy sshd

« on: March 01, 2004, 12:17:41 am »

got it working... i needed to generate the keys, then I ran /usr/sbin/sshd & ,, got it going, then rebooted and was able to connect. Interestingly enough when scanning the zaurus for port 22 open, with superscan, it didnt report port 22 as open, until I connected with ssh connection afterwards as well.
