Software / Static Vlc Media Player 0.8.2 Binary Available Now

« on: July 05, 2005, 03:05:07 pm »

it works, but use:

Code: [Select]

/home/root/vlc -V qte -skipframes --filter transform --transform 270 some_video.mpg
has anyone come up with a better set of command line options for the clamshells?

I'm going to give it a try on a 860. If you're religious, pray for me.

Software / Debian Pocketworkstation Networking Doesn't Work

« on: June 29, 2005, 07:32:57 pm »

i had this, it was failing to set up the dhcp. then i came across:

"
The internet can be controlled through Qtopia as it always has been. However the up and down scripts don't create a resolv.conf file for the chroot environment when using DHCP. An easy hack is to add the line

cp /etc/resolv.conf /usr/mnt.rom/cf/debroot/etc
to the bottom of the /etc/pcmcia/network.functions files. Then reboot to make it effective.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Ok, Kde Works; What About Gnome?

chero,
 something to note:

When removing the main package (pkg2, since pkg1 doesnt seem to want to uninstall) it took the pixbuf image lib with it, which destroys lots of the other apps.

ok , it all works now! congrats!

xffm is a bit on the slow side compared to rox. I had great hopes, but i can't delete rox yet!

Hello,

xffm ipk has been updated.
I created it "by the book" (# make DESTDIR=/my/dir install) this time, so everything should be in it.
Everything has been stripped, I left the docs out, the locales in.

attached file : panel mount plugin.

Chero.

ok, now it runs (lots of 'icon factory' warnings)

The lack of many of the icons makes it difficult to see what is going on.


_but_
 when you open the 'root' tree (or fstab or many operations) it core dumps.

I installed part1 , part 2
I uninstalled part 2 (part 1 seemed to have gone awol)
I had 36 meg free.

>Which of the plugins on are interesting enough to add ?
>- xffm

xffm! please!

I'm quite surprised by the size of the compiled ipkg's.
This install took 10meg. The previous rc5 build took around 2, and included xffm
and a few other goodies. can it be that xfce grew that much?

sorry to put a bit of a downer on the party, but maybe you're missing something..

otherwise, WOW! excellent work!

Accessories / Official Pcmcia Cards Compatible With Zaurus!

« on: June 02, 2005, 12:51:07 pm »

i have one of these convertors, most cards do not work.
memory stick/cf/etc adaptors do work. modems mostly work too.

I'd love to see a driver for a pcmcia usb host card. now that would rock...

wow. i was blown away by xfce4.
 it's so fast, clean and smooth!

the only downside is that the package is old. xffm seems to die horribly with an illegal instruction.   I think with a bit of a polish this will replace my default/rox combination for good.
