Zaurus - pdaXrom / Usb Storage And Pdaxrom

« on: August 12, 2005, 03:12:53 am »

Good morning i try to put my USB pen on my sl6000l running pdaxrom.
kernel messages says only there is a usb connected....

When i use sharp rom i have simply to mount my pen as

mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/myusb and all is ok

There are no SDA devices on pdaxrom so Haw can i mount my USB storage ? Any help ?

hiya, sorry its so long for someone to reply to you.  I was just in a mad rush this morning trying to figure out the same thing.  This [a href=\"http://www.cpqlinux.com/recovery.html]http://www.cpqlinux.com/recovery.html[/url]  has all the info, basically to add the block devices do :

mknod /dev/sda b 8 0
mknod /dev/sda1 b 8 1
mknod /dev/sda2 b 8 2

mknod /dev/sdb b 8 16
mknod /dev/sdb1 b 8 17
mknod /dev/sdb2 b 8 18

but that won't help unless lsmod shows all the scsi devices loaded.  I've no idea if they are as I'm on a 760.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Ko/pi Alarm Applet Needed

« on: August 08, 2005, 10:12:18 am »

Hmm, it should be no problem to add a small feature to KO/Pi that KO/Pi writes the next alarm (in local time) to a file when it did compute the next alarm.

Then you won't miss any recurring alarm.
If you think that  this is useful please let me know what filename / filepath do you need and what format the date/time values should have.

Hi Zautrix,

I've been looking at this too.  The way I see it either this or writing a custom AlarmServer is the way to go.  

Obviously if you can add this in directly to kopi that would be the coolest option.  If possible could you put a time_t value (from toTime_t) in the file?  That would allow the logic for "how long to sleep" to be very easy to write.

File wise I'd prefer /home/$USER/.koalarm_next or something similar, as it wouldn't be a problem for non-root z's.

Once again, that would be excellent many thanks for the offer.

cheers,

Chris

PS For all others in the thread, do you know how long the apmsleep can sleep for?  is it 99 hours or 24 hours etc?  This would affect how often the Z would have to wake to check the time for an alarm when its over this maximum number.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Ratoc USB card drivers

« on: July 17, 2004, 07:13:48 am »

I'll reply myself then.   Yes they do work, you have to download the ipkgs from the usual place and reboot.  If you don't reboot it won't load.

Additionally all you have to load is insmod usb-storage to add usb storage as all the others are automagically loaded.

Hi Marc,

I just ordered it from the website, I couldn't source it in Switzerland.  I guess they might be rebadged as something else.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Ratoc USB card drivers

Hi All,

Does anyone with a Ratoc card use pdaxrom in it's current release?  Are the drivers included or must they still be downloaded etc?

If they are not included in the current release is it planned for the next release?

TIA

Hi All,

I'm currently looking at getting a new digital camera, it's gonna take big pictures and currently whilst my Z has a 4gb cf hd in it, this doesn't help when the camera's format is cf.

I also have a iriver h140, (40gb) that is a usb device.  When using the ratok card can you connect a camera via a hub and copy files across?  Has anyone done this before?  I've read single devices being used but not a hub and copying across devices.

TIA

Zaurus - pdaXrom / too long suspended freezes my C750

« on: July 07, 2004, 06:29:21 am »

I'm afraid this happens for most people.  I can usually last more than two days (by using the xset +dpms that's been mentioned here loads), but after a week, it's always requiring a reboot.

Something in the power saving code is broke, god knows what though.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Are others seeing unsuspend lockups?

« on: June 21, 2004, 11:37:28 am »

yes I realise it\'s not much use as a fix, if it\'s already broke ;-).  You can create new vt\'s and change them ok when X isn\'t running. The problem is always when X is running for tty changing.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / What do you prefer...

add to that, the qt libraries (x and embedded) are already available for the pdaxrom.  What would be most usefull, something I tried to get working (but I was trying from a sparc machine to an arm and all the tools are for x86 to arm), was to run qtopia from within X, so if you wanted it it was there.  Thing is that with applications like kopi and soon kapi, it makes little sense to run qtopia, when the qt libraries will do.  There are very few of the apps for qtopia that weren\'t origninally straight X/QT apps anyway.

there were suspend problems mentioned in other threads with certain cards.  I have the problem without having cards in (and sometimes with my 4gb microdrive and SD card combination).  The way I dealt with it was, when X starts enter xset +dpms on the cli.  Then at next resume do the same as the first activity.  I\'ve taken to doing it just before I suspend if I\'m running lot\'s of things.

I looked at automated scripts, but they don\'t seem to work to well, and definitely not well enough to used in a release.  But I did try to do this via chvt , and that always reproduced the problem, you wouldn\'t even have valid windows shown.

ooh I almost forgot, you have to do this every time you resume, it seems to forget.

its known, there are a few threads/comments made by me over it.  Try doing xset +dpms from xterm.  This resolves it 99.9% of the time.  The other 0.01% I think I forgot, but of course I\'ve no way of checking :-).  If you can get remote access you can kill the xserver and it will recover.  It\'s a bug somewhere in the X server.  The same thing happens when changing virtual terminals.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Mozilla Sunbird would be a great calendar to use on pdaX rom

« on: June 13, 2004, 02:04:23 pm »

Kopi is by far a more mature app.  It\'s got everything you need calender wise.  Also of interest is that Zautrix has just said they are close to Kapi (the address variation) being usable, which is great news.

Aside from the alarm issues (which might be sorted out in the next pdaxrom release, by the sounds of it), the tool rocks.  I can\'t wait to try t kapi as well.

The other pi-sync apps are directed for the Z\'s.  They are a much better fit imo.  If there was a standardisation effort (which I think there should be to solidify the pdaxrom) on a particular suite it she be on these two products that are actively developed directly for the Z. (albeit not for pdaxrom :-(

what price is the muvo2 over in the states?  The 4gb drive from that is doing sterling service in my 760
