Zaurus - pdaXrom / Kde 3.5

« on: January 25, 2006, 06:14:20 am »

Rotating doesn't work, Using the pdaxrom menu applet has no effect.
Running xrandr it says
#xrandr
SZ: Pixels Physical Refresh
*0 480 x 640 (163mm x 217 mm)
1 240 x 320 (163mm x 217 mm)

when xrandr -0 1 to landscape
the screen rotate but its width is 480 (as in portrait, it should be 640) and its length is more then 480 and the bottom of the screen is cut....

I have the same problem and I'm not sure if it is a KDE problem or a xrandr problem.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Kde 3.5

« on: January 10, 2006, 05:21:43 pm »

Hello all,
I have a weird problem with xrandr on Kde3.5/ Pdaxrom 1.1.0 beta/ 3100.

If I rotate the screen with "xrandr -o 1" everything works well but when I want to switch back to normal ("xrandr -o 0") kde screen is indeed with the normal orientation but it acts like the screen resolution is 480x640 instead of 640x480. (It does not render the desktop in the right side of the screen and the taskbar is not visible because it tries to render it below the screen). I cannot revert the screen back without restarting the X server.

Also, even if I run xrandr with no parameters (in the moment when KDE is rendering fine) it displays:
#xrandr
SZ:      Pixels       Physical   Refresh
*0         480 x 640   (163mm x 217 mm)
  1         240 x 320   (163mm x 217 mm)

which I believe it's wrong (it should be 640 x 480).

I also changed the $defaultserverargs variable from the startx script "-screen 480x640@270" => "-screen 640x480@270" but it behaves the same.
Does anybody else have this problem.

Thanks,
PuthreGuy

I installed kdelibs in flash memory and everything else on the harddrive and it works preety smooth (except kontact which takes forever to load even if i install kdepim in flash memory).
However I have a problem with kicker that is crashing or is dissapearing when I resume after a long suspend. Am I the only one who has this problem?

Did anybody compiled kdenetwork? I miss Kopete

So the only chance to solve problems is to write new software which will be PDA oriented.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / 1.1.0beta1 Is Out!

« on: December 29, 2005, 05:02:03 pm »

It seems that http://mail.pdaxrom.org/1.1.0beta1/Zaurus-...860/feed.tar.gz
does not contain the kde packages. They need to be downloaded separately from the feed folder.

/etc/pcmcia/bluetooth line 22 should state "/sbin/cardctl ident 0" instead
of "/sbin/cardctl ident" in order for bluetooth to work on 3100

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Xfce4 Finetuning

« on: October 21, 2005, 11:06:07 am »

in icewm I bind XF86RotateWindows key so that it executes "chkhinge",

ie a shortcut key for the key " XF86RotateWindows"  that executes chkinge.

Maybe this could work with xfce?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=100240\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Yep. It works.

Go to XFCE Settings Manager -> Window Manager -> Keyboard
Add a new theme.
Click on a free command shorcut, use chkhinge when prompted for the command, and rotate
the screen when prompted for a key.

could you anyway be so kind to look into /proc/bus if you have a file or another directory called 'usb'? because usb isnt working in rc12 on my zaurus... and i think there is lack of a file(s). the hardware should be ok.

thx
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=99342\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Nope,
I only have pccard folder in /proc/usb

I've installed RC12 yesterday and it seems that the ipkg scripts are not updated to find installed packages on /mnt/ide3.

I've attached my fixes for this problem. Just backup your ipkg, ipkg-install, ipkg-link, ipkg-uninstall from
/usr/bin and then overwrite them with the files from the attached archive.

Please let me know how it worked.

Were ipkg scripts fixed in rc12 to support installation,linking and removal on harddrive (/mnt/ide3)?

Sorry I do not have rc12 installed (I only have rc11) and I did some fixes on the RC11 ipkg scripts to allow linking and removal in any folder from /mnt and to get rid of "cannot change ownership" error but I don't know where to post them.
