Zaurus - pdaXrom / U-boot Kernel Loading

« on: December 31, 2006, 10:39:29 am »

What loads the kernel to default load address is this:
nand read.logical 0xa0800000 0x005a0000 0x00160000
and what sets the boot parameters is this:
setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty1 root=/dev/mtdblock2 \ rootfstype=jffs2
What I want to do is load an alternative kernel from the SD/MMC instead of the one from onboard flash.

You could let the Linux kernel load a different Linux kernel, like OpenBSD does it
with the zbsd..o kernel module.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / 1.1.0r121 Is Out!

« on: September 28, 2006, 03:25:36 am »

Hi,

as I said: no problems so far (I'm still searching for the right mouse button, FN+"mouse click" does not work??).

Concerning charging:
I unplugged power and after a few seconds the icon changed from green "charging" to blue "battery indicator". After a few seconds I plugged power again and the charging light went on plus the icon changed to green "charging" again.
Charging works fine now. Charging lamp goes off when full which was not the case in Beta1.

All I did on installation was:

- install new u-boot
- install new release
- install rox, gnumeric, kdepimpi, planner, vim and all depending packages
- change desktop to rox
- applied bugfix to get brightness-keys to work (see https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=20563 for details)

Do the date/time settings survive a reboot and is the hwclock command included?
Beta4 always resets the time to the epoch on reboot.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom 1.1.0beta 4 And New Bootloader

« on: August 30, 2006, 04:00:22 am »

The Ctrl and Alt keys still do not work at all    any solution so far??

Have you tried the two japanese keys right to the Fn key? They work for
me on my C860 (from [a href=\"http://openzaurus.org/wordpress/howto/c7x0-and-cxx00-26-kernel-information/]OpenZaurus c7×0 and cxx00 2.6 Kernel Information[/url])

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Zaurus As A Car Media Player

« on: March 20, 2005, 10:51:21 am »

Can anyone think of a better way to do this?  Are there better interfaces out there than Freevo?
[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

take a look at [a href=\"http://www.pymedia.org/pycar]pycar[/url], which is a UI exactly
for the purpose, e.g. elements on the touchscreen are big enough so that you can touch
it with your fingers.

I've already ordered this car mount from shirtpocket, so I'm on my way at least.

I have it too and am very satisfied with it.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Frequent Freeze On Restore From Suspend

« on: February 03, 2005, 03:43:45 am »

New update.

OK, my problem doesn't inspire many people... I just keep to develop my own investigation as it may help someone else.

So, as the problem seems to be the X vnc server, I checked it: it is an alienized package of xf4vnc. I don't know why shuch non-Debian package was chosen, as vncserver exists in the official repository. And I don't think it is very clean to use a non-properly packaged software for a critical app. So I installed vncserver instead, and it just seems to work identically (except the pointer cursor, which turned blue...).

Tell here later if it is more stable.

Have a look at the following pdaxrom topic and the solution, perhaps that applies to your case too:

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Most important missing/to be fixed in pdaXrom?

« on: October 27, 2004, 03:47:37 am »

I'd like the possibility to easily select different backlight level/ screen off/suspend
settings depending on my usage (something like profiles), not just by the presence
/non presence of the ac adapter, e.g. when using the zaurus as an mp3 player in my
car, the backlight can go of after some seconds/minutes, but the zaurus should
not suspend. But if surfing on my couch with wifi, the suspend after a short
time of inactivity is surely appreciated.

This could then be automated (not a wish for the rom) by binding such profiles
to running applications or availability of specific devices.

I'm mounting from a NetBSD host and had to add nfsvers=2 to my mounts in order to
get throuput to more than about 50 KB/sec:

server:/zaurus  /mnt           nfs     noauto,hard,intr,nolock,async,nfsvers=2 0 0

Zaurus - pdaXrom / New pdaXrom installer (to have just Root partition)

« on: May 11, 2004, 03:18:36 am »

Zazz, can you test the installer 0.3 in your unit? (Edit it to just check if you want, without installing ) I just added a line wich changes MTDCMD to the offset you told me. Maybe there are two 860 versions?

I installed with the new installer (0.3) on my C860 and it worked without
problems.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / suspend

« on: March 19, 2004, 03:33:26 am »

I use Ctl-Alt-BS (Calendar-Address-BS) to leave X, that\'s what I use
for compiling from remote.
