C1000/3x00 General discussions / Full Debian On The Sl-c3000
« on: March 28, 2005, 10:07:22 am »
Thanks everyone for all the great information. I managed to get debian up and running pretty quick on my unit and am starting to figure it all out.
One thing I realized is that you can start Vncserver from inside a terminal window in QTopia. Once I did that I was able to connect to it over the USB from my laptop and ended up with the QTopia display on the C3000 and the debian display on the laptop. Then I tried also running Fbvnc from inside the terminal window and it said ...
"You appear to be running Qtopia. Unless the Qtopia VT switching bug has been fixed on your system, fbvnc won't be able to activate. If you get an error on starting, terminate Qtopia and try again from the console:"
Then it gave the instructions for starting it the way we've been doing and ends up at the password prompt. Entering the password doesn't show any problems. This is interesting, but I don't know what to do to be able to switch the display between fbvnc and QTopia. Anyone have a clue? Could it actually do this?
Also managed to trash the WiFi stuff (separately from installing debian). Now have it to where it loads the prism2_cs module, but wavelan-ng is still having problems. Needed something else to do anyway.
