Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Can Minimo Display Tables?

« on: November 28, 2005, 07:13:30 pm »

In answer to the original question, yes, minimo can render tables properly, and very well too...
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=105280\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

It doesn't do it in its default configuration. How do I change that?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Can Minimo Display Tables?

« on: November 27, 2005, 05:20:16 pm »

I just switched over from pdaXrom to OZ/GPE and like the system a lot so far (it detected my SanDisk Wi-Fi card right out of the gate, which immediately put it in my good books.) Unfortunately, it's web browser doesn't seem to realize that I'm using a C750 with a full VGA screen in a landscape orientation, rather than a tiny cell phone or PDA, and as such refuses to display pages the way they're "meant" to be seen.

Whenever I try to load up a page with any kind of reasonably complex layout (I usually use Slashdot for test purposes) it simply stacks all the elements on top of each other vertically instead of displaying them side-by-side they way they should be. I tried Dillo as well but it seems to have the same problem (which is odd because the version of Dillo included with pdaXrom worked perfectly in this respect.)

Is this just a configuration issue, or is Minimo simply incapable of properly rendering a web page and, if it's the former, how do I set it up to do so?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Sandisk Connect Plus Wi-fi + 128mb

« on: October 20, 2005, 09:26:19 pm »

Sorry for re-opening a fairly old thread, but I've got one of these cards myself and I'm having trouble getting it to work with RC11 on my C750. I tried using dvdrw's instructions but get an error message when trying to execute the "prism2_srec -gs wlan0 /usr/local/etc/firmware/pm010102.hex" command and none of the subsequent commands work, and the later posts in this thread regarding getting the card to work in RC11 are too vague to be of any use to me. Has anyone gotten the card to work in RC11 yet and, if so, how did they do it?

Failing that, is there any way that I can still download the RC10 or RC9 ROMs so that I can get it working that way?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Disabling Rotation

« on: April 21, 2005, 10:45:30 am »

Is there any command I could run in pdaX that would disable the screen rotating feature until I run a command to enable it again?  I want to set up my playmovie script so that movies are always played in landscape mode, regardless of the physical screen's current configuration.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Browser For 3.5.2 Opie

« on: January 04, 2005, 01:36:23 pm »

Collie owners only: Hmm why are you folks so inclined to have a browser installed per default? Is it more important than PIM? What would you be able to sacrifice for having konq/e in the default image?

For me, vastly more important.  I keep my phone numbers, appointments, etc. either on paper or on my cell phone.  I purchased my C750 so that I could have a pocket-sized computer capable of all the essential tasks I use my desktop for, web browsing being chief among them.  If I just wanted an electronic organizer, I would have stuck with my old Palm III.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Switching To Another Rom

« on: January 03, 2005, 11:36:08 pm »

OZ doesn't have the option of resizing partitions, as far as I know.

Basically, I just want to get my Zaurus back to the sate it was in before I installed pdaXrom for the first time.  Restoring from my original NAND backup should also accomplish this but, as I mentioned in my opening post, I am no longer able to access the backup menu.

EDIT:  Never mind.  Got it working.  Apparently one of the filenames given in the OZ documentation is incorrect.  zImage should be zImage.bin.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Switching To Another Rom

« on: January 03, 2005, 11:17:10 pm »

I'd like to remove pdaXrom from my C750 in order to try the new version of OpenZaurus, however I seem to be having trouble flashing my system.  I've tried a couple of times to install OZ using the instructions on their webpage, but after I reboot it always tried to boot up pdax again, but isn't able to finish the process.  I suspect that this has to do with the way pdaXrom repartitions my flash during its initial install.  Does anyone know how I can get my Zaurus back to a state that will allow me to install other roms on it?

I also have a backup copy of my original Sharp ROM, but the "DM trick" no longer seems to be working, and I don't know of any other way to restore it.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / GPE

« on: September 10, 2004, 12:24:21 pm »

GPE didn't seem to be that slow, but I didn't use is long enough to really give it a trial.

I have a feeling that since I need a PDA with a web browser, word processor and spreadsheet, that I'm going to have to stay with the Qtopia/OPIE side of things rather than the GPE.

I hope that the hancom apps install under OZ 3.5 with OPIE, since they seem to be my only options right now  

I guess if you wanted to run full scale X app, like Abiword, on a zaurus, you're looking at a serious SD memory card to provide the storage space for that app!

I've run AbiWord on my c750 without a memory card, but it didn't leave room for too much else.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Emulation & pdaxrom

« on: September 09, 2004, 10:05:34 pm »

Anyone know of any Genesis emulators ported to Zaurus that work in the framebuffer?  Or, alternatively, does anyone know how to get the version of DGen on the site that was linked to on the first page of this thread to run at a decent speed?  I wants to play me some portable Phantasy Star 2, but it's way too slow.

Also, does anyone know of a Master System emulator that works in pdaX?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / ScummVM console edition uploaded

« on: September 08, 2004, 06:43:45 pm »

Oh yeah, forgot that there actually was an SDL_Flip() function that switches between framebuffers.  I was using it as an example of a way to quickly and easily invert the screen, although if SDL only updates on a region-by-region basis then that sort of thing would be tough to implement even if that function did exist.

Well, it'd be pretty easy to implement, actually, but you'd lose all the performance benifits of only updating by region.

Note that it is not SDL that maintains dirty rects, but ScummVM. The sdl.cpp file mentioned is part of the ScummVM source code, not of an SDL.

That was a typo.  I meant to say "if ScummVM only updates on a region-by-region basis...", not SDL.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / GPE

« on: September 07, 2004, 06:25:12 pm »

I guess I see the fact that gpe uses X means there is alot of stuff out there that could be used on it.  At least this is my reason fro trying to get gpe running, also I like the idea of being able to uses firefox on my Z...

They've got Firefox for pdaX, but it ran really slow on my 750.  Not really useable as a main web browser, and too big to keep around as a backup.

I've tried the double-tap, but found it too unreliable and went back to using the buttons.  It's still very much playable with the buttons (although I can't figure out how to move the bike in the combat scenes) but it would be more convenient if flipped.

Anyway, if you can't, you can't, but if you do come across an sdl_flip() command or something along those lines, it would be a good feature to have in a future version of the port.

Actually, the right mouse button brings up the inventory.  You have to hold the left mouse button in for about a second to bring up the action menu.
