X/Qt / Debian with Xqt
« on: November 21, 2004, 02:09:01 pm »
Hi all, I'm new to the Zaurus community, having bought a SL-6000 off Amazon for cheap a while back. I'm following this route and have it going pretty good so far. I have a 512 MB SD card with pocketworkstation on it, and am right now updating Debian on it (took all night to update everything... it's still going but almost done).
I've seen the icewm problem withe the fonts as well but I haven't thought about fixing it as I don't know if I'll be using it.
Right now the only real problems I have are that if I start X using startx, it switches resolutions to the old smaller res whereas just using the other Xqt shortcut (that just starts X) doesn't. So I do the latter and then run xterm in a (non-X) konsole. Also sometimes the mouse input screws up, like right now for some reason the mouse is stuck on some other button than left-click as all I get when I click on an xterm is some menu called "Main Options" that I have never seen before. (I think it's something xqt specific)
Looking forward to doing all sorts of things with it later (the remote root and swap over NFS sound nice) but right now I don't have the facilities (I'm on a business trip with just my laptop and the Z and only dial-up internet access). I've been using Debian on my other computers for years now and it is nice to have something handheld that runs it as well
