6000 - Tosa / Gripe sl 6000

« on: April 08, 2004, 01:42:18 pm »

I really liked the screen.  The unit though is to big to fit on your belt and quite heavy in the pocket.  Not much work was done on the new interface or new applications.  Load time is slow on legacy applications.  Mail client would not do ssl.  Pine would not load without errors.  Did not want to test the non vga commercial mail client tclmail.  Battery time is too little for doing much browsing via web.  Terminal program did not have a good set of fonts to use.  Sharp site  not much help or looking like they are planning to support the new units very well.  I really wanted the unit to work but it was just a little clumsy and needed to be more like a laptop for the price.  I would like to see what a larger cg screen could do running a full linux install to get around the app problems.   For an enterprise specific solution it may work but I think a new clamshell would be nice to try with integrated communication components.  I have a sl 5500 and could not justify the difference in price between how I would use the sl 6000.  I can carry my 5500 everywhere but the bigger size of sl 6000 made it more like trying to lug a reduced funtionality notebook without much software support.

6000 - Tosa / SDG VNCserver 0.95 working?

reset then hold power and ok button a screen will appear choose format.  After doing this several times a day to get my digitizer working I decided $700 was a bit expensive for a test product and sent my z back.

By the way after rebooting with the new vnc server I now get messages that kdbsim not compiled properly.  Are any of you seeing this after a reboot.

How do you just restart qtopia.  My unit is doing it again.

The reboot sets up the vnc and the digitizer or screen.  It works fine on my zaurus for the new apps.  Old apps show a double screen and do not allow inputs.

I also see big difference when using an cf card versus a mirodrive.  CF card is a lot faster.

I had the same problem and had to reflash my machine.  I thought the digitizer had failed and only when in maintenace mode did the digitizer work.  I had been trying to get the vnc server runnning.  Be sure and use the new vnc server from sgtsystems.  I hope someone comes up with an easier way.  Rebooting and restarting did not fix it for me.  Did you get kismet working?  Please post a copy of the .conf file if you did.

6000 - Tosa / who has bought/preordered a SL-6000 from Amazon?

The cases are on clearance at target for $3.99. HP 48 cases fit well.  No carrying strap but will protect it lugging it around.

6000 - Tosa / Terminal scroll bar

Is there a way to edit the terminal.conf file to get a scroll bar when displaying output in the VGA terminal program provided by Sharp with SL 6000.
