Deals and Great Z Buys / For Your Zaurus Right Now On Ebay

Here is a Voyager CF card. I wonder if someone outside of the Zaurus community still remembers what this is for.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / How Do I Press The Middle Or Right Mouse Button?

« on: August 04, 2006, 02:29:14 am »

I have a SL-6000 and rox installed. It was a nightmare before I could fix this problem, by luck only. I entered the Input Setup applet, changed the default keys for right and middle click, save it, exit matchbox and enter again, changed the keys back to the defaults, exit and reenter matchbox and THEN IT WORKED. Now I have xfce4 with rox in all its glory.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Xfce4 Finetuning

« on: July 13, 2006, 04:20:01 pm »

Hello, I just installed rox to run inside xfce4. I cannot change the background. The manual says you right click on the desktop to do it. Right click works ok on xfce4 (for instance to add things to the panel). It seems non working on the rox pinboard. I have 6000 (Tosa), pdaxrom beta1, xfce4 4.2, rox from 6000 feed beta1. The rox filer opens without a menu, just a button bar. The manual mentions and shows a menu which has configuration options.
Please help me, thank you.

« on: June 08, 2005, 12:48:33 am »

I've installed the Kino new version 0.4.2 (it supports SL-6000) with mplayer w100

Everithing works well but after i stop a video, the zaurus screen remains blank; in the oldest version there isn't this problem...

I try to enable overclock ....but i've no choice, i'm using SL6000 with standard sharp rom
How can i enable overclock on sl-6000 (i've installed sudo too)

i try to map keybord to up / down volume but it doesent work....

Any helps

Funny, much of what I learned about Kino when I got my 6K was from your posts.
No overclocking if you don't install an overclocking capable kernel, could be adf or guylhem (adf my recommendation), plus sudo.
Volume up/down is on round-button up/down.

Guylhem Rom / Guylhem Kernel Without Keyboard Patches?

« on: May 20, 2005, 04:02:25 pm »

I want to install the guylhem kernel to gain speed as the other posts say, but I do not want to have all the keyboard patches included because it breaks my irk package (I use an IR palmOne universal keyboard). Can I get it from somewhere? Or instructions on how to "unpatch" it or patch it only with all the other patches? Thanks.

Deals and Great Z Buys / Wow, 43 6000l On Ebay!

or maybe he's related to jpettins
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=67503\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

No, he is not. I am a new Zaurus owner who got his from shanetso at $395 on December 12. I was almost going to be a victim of jpettins but before things exploded around here I took the time to check what else he had been selling and he (pettins, not shanetso) had only sold multiple ET the Extraterrestrial books for US$0.01 so I did not trust him. My ebay transaction number is 5737274915 and you can still check it. It arrived new, in original packaging, no dead pixels. The amount you see shown is because it was shipped to Guatemala, Central America.
If someone is going to buy from him he never answers email, but he lists a phone and he answers it. It was my first ebay transaction, I had to pay by very insecure means (money order is the only way to pay for some international transactions), I had only 400 to spend, I had already lost 2 or 3 bids for 5 or 10$ difference, so I took my chance with this guy after reading almost 200 random transactions he had made. Hope it helps. My comment: at that price better get a 3k from pricejapan or wait for him to land from space and fix the price.

6000 - Tosa / How To Install Opera7.55 On Sl6000

« on: January 19, 2005, 04:49:22 pm »

Don't you miss the bigger toolbar from 7.25? I installed 7.55 and the little toolbar is just too small for my eyes. Don't know how to enlarge it!
BTW, how does one run the voice activated demos? I have not been able to do so.

Deals and Great Z Buys / Sl-6000l On Amazon For $300 Right Now!

« on: December 14, 2004, 10:20:45 pm »

the 6000 i got off ebay for $412 just showed up, so apparently at least some of the ~$400 ones on ebay are legit.

From whom did you get it? I won a bid on one on Sunday from shanetso, who seems a reputable seller. I would get some peace of mind if got it from him...
Thing is I was also going to get one from Amazon the last night the $378 ones were on sale, but I'm in Guatemala Central America. First I had to get the physical address of a friend who lives in the US so I left the purchase pending until the next morning but then they were gone! Then I was tempted to get one from jpettins. Thanks God I did not! I checked his background and he had been selling ET novels for $0.01 to build up his rating! So I did not trust him.
Wanting a Zaurus so badly (I have been using Linux since 1993) but not happy to pay $700 for a Zaurus I just came to the ZUG on December 1st, when Amazon had sold their last one, jpettins was doing his thing and OZ finally supported the 6k. I then decided to go the ebay route but it is my first purchase there. Being abroad makes you think not twice but many times to go on a bid.
I hope my 6k deal comes to an end nicely as yours did.
PD: I got mine for $395 on a slow Sunday bid. All the other I have tracked have been sold for $405, I always losing them for 5 to 10 bucks.
