Zaurus - pdaXrom / Look! Remote X

« on: February 20, 2005, 01:33:14 am »

I have a file server running, well not linux. Right now I use Windows XP's remote desktop to access it, could I access it with this or is it a linux only softare?

you can use rdesktop, which is available as an ipk, to access a windows server which has terminal services, just like you would with windows remote desktop client.

Cxx0 General discussions / C-860 questions about sound quality and power input.

« on: June 26, 2004, 10:53:13 pm »

Hi

I have an 860 as well and I used both madplay and xmms on pdaxrom to play music. Sound is regular mp3 quality if that is the format you are gonna use, haven't played any lossless formats so that I can't say. Just a bit tricky making sure it doesn't suspend.

veel plezier, het is een mooi machientje

Hi

Sorry, stupid newbie question. I just can't see the attachments, although I am logged in. Already tried it in safari (macos x), mozilla, ie, firefox, no go. Where are they supposed to be downloadable?

(thnx ashley et al, dying to try this)

Zaurus - pdaXrom / key remapping

« on: June 02, 2004, 08:27:37 pm »

yep, that is indeed the idea. I think it is easier to remap the keys from a script you run instead of having to do it in the code itself (with all that that implies in terms of maintenance for every new version of the original non zaurus app).  It would be nice to have a collection of these scripts and their associated mappings for more apps. Maybe there is a way to do this without the need to copy the whole xmodmap for every app, but I don\'t know it. I\'m still looking for ways to control the screen off and suspend behavior as well. Any tips on that would be greatly appreciated

Zaurus - pdaXrom / key remapping

« on: June 01, 2004, 07:36:21 am »

I wrote a little script for a custom keymapping for madplay (the command line audio player) on pdaxrom which i hope somebody might find useful. It can be used for any other app as well of course with minimal changes
this is the file:

trap cleanup 1 2 3 6

cleanup()
{
        xmodmap /etc/X11/kb/corgi.xmodmap
}

if [ -z $1 ]
then
        DIR=/mnt/cf # change to your default mp3 directory
else
        DIR=$1
fi

# your own custom keymap here              
xmodmap /home/root/Documents/madplay.xmodmap
                                 
madplay --tty-control ${DIR}/*.mp3
                                 
xmodmap /etc/X11/kb/corgi.xmodmap

####
end of file

My new mappings are:

keycode 134 = minus                        
!keycode 134 = Left                        
keycode 133 = plus                          
!keycode 133 = Right                        
keycode 131 = f                            
!keycode 131 = Return                      
keycode 132 = b                            
!keycode 132 = Escape

now you can use the cancel and ok keys to move through your playlist and use the little grey thingy (on a 860, whatever it is called) to change the volume. If i could find a way to turn the screen off and control suspending within bash i\'d be happy.

Mac Issues / Internet sharing Mac osx

« on: May 26, 2004, 04:28:54 am »

It cost me some sweat as well, but i have it working. You can find a nat how-to on the following address:
http://www.mac-im-netz.de/MacOSX-NAT.html
The first part is in german, but it basically says that in /etc/hostconfig you need to change the IPFORWARDING=-NO- line
to IPFORWARDING=-YES-

than just do what the rest of the how-to says, putting the three files in the /System/Library/StartupItems/NAT folder (make the folder if it doesn\'t exist) . And freizugheit\'s tip about checking if you have sharing allowed in the system\'s pref network panel is very important as well (I wish I would have read that before stumbling upon it)

Then on the zaurus type

route add -host 192.168.129.1 dev usbd0
route add -host 192.168.129.201 dev usbd0
route add default gw 192.168.129.1 dev usbd0

(not my idea these, also googled them from somewhere)

Zaurus - pdaXrom / ipkg pdaxrom feed version problems

« on: May 23, 2004, 05:11:29 pm »

Hi,

Maybe this is a newbie issue so sorry about that beforehand. I just installed the pdaxrom 1.05 and am trying to install the ipk\'s from the pdaxrom.org stable feed. I have a problem with the ipk\'s downloaded from the feed which appears to be incompatible with the ipkg manager which comes with the 1.05 rom. ipkg installing them gives the following error message:

zcat: \'package-name\'.ipk: not in gzip format
tar: ./control.tar.gz: Not found in archive

As far as i understand there are several ipk formats being used. The ones from the feed all start with the
./debian-binary
./data.tar.gz

lines whereas the ones that do install (such as the purported ZUG pdaxrom app mirror tar) do not have those lines. According to some searching there are differences in the way the packages are gzipped and tarred or arred. Right now I am trying to repackage the downloaded ipk\'s with ipkg-build but I have the nagging suspicion there must be faster ways to install the packages from the pdaxrom feed.

Isn\'t it strange that the ipk\'s from the feed don\'t readily install on the rom image from the same site, or am I doing something horribly wrong?

Thanks in advance for any clues, and thank you pdaxrom guys for an amazing project,

bye,

Eric
