Zaurus - pdaXrom / Time Sync Ntp And Rc12

« on: March 28, 2006, 03:55:24 am »

I can confirm this. For the past couple of weeks I'd been wondering why my 750 kept its time less and less accurately. This weekend it dawned on me that there was a clear pattern: after each suspend it was 89--90 seconds late, regardless of how many suspends or how much time had passed since the last ntpd -q.

It turns out that the sethwclock / sltime -set in the suspend scripts wasn't enough; however, a sethwclock right after the ntpd -q did the trick.

Ok so can someone summarize what I need to change in 1.0.1beta1 to make my time work correctly after a suspend with a c860. I am having a hard time distilling all this info. Thanks.

Security and Networking / Need help with ad hoc wifi

« on: January 16, 2006, 05:28:34 pm »

I am not sure i can help you too much. I have this working from zaurus to a linux machine. The zarus uses a symbol wifi and the linux machine is using an orinoco gold card. In my case I am sharing a LAN connection but it should be pretty much the same.

On Laptop:
iwconfig eth1 essid "ADHOC" key off mode Ad-Hoc channel 10
ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.1 up

On Zaurus:
Using wifi control add essid and switch to ad-hoc mode and channel .
Also enter netmask and ip by hand by unchecking the set automatically box.
Also enter the dns servers from your isp into the wifi manager by hand.

Now back to linux machine to nat the zaurus out to the world, i do:
#!/bin/bash
#
# This script will allow ip forwarding from INTIF to EXTIF
#
#
#
EXTIF=eth0
INTIF=eth1
IPTABLES=$(which iptables)

$IPTABLES -P INPUT ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -F INPUT
$IPTABLES -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -F OUTPUT
$IPTABLES -P FORWARD DROP
$IPTABLES -F FORWARD
$IPTABLES -t nat -F

echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $EXTIF -o $INTIF -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j
 ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i $INTIF -o $EXTIF -j ACCEPT
$IPTABLES -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o $EXTIF -j MASQUERADE

One could also run a dhcp server on eth1 to answer and give ip dns etc but that was too much  work for my need (updating calendar on Z).

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Mplayer With Bvdd And Full Screen 320x240

« on: December 19, 2005, 12:28:32 pm »

are you using the mplayer from the same website as bvdd? as it has had some extra stuff compiled into it to work with bvdd
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=104624\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Hi I am finding this thread   completely unintelligble. i grapped the bvdd version of mplayer from the web site but I cannot use the bvdd output b/c it requires a kernel module.  So i grabbed the kernel module and it is for kernel 2.4.20 but pdaXrom has 2.4.18. So I am totally confuse. My problem is that my videos hand after 5-10 minutes and all I can do is use ctrl-C to kill it.

mplayer prints the following when it exits:

$mplayer -vo w100 -nocache -fs video.avi

MPlayer interrupted by signal 2 in module: sleep_rtc

I would love it if someone who has this working in rc12 with a c860 could give me a very clear set of instructions to make my movies work. BTW I had the movies (reencoded for zaurus) working fine with mplayer under the cacko rom so I am pretty sure the movies are just fine.

A big thanks in advance for any help.

Cxx0 Hardware / Did I Get Ripped Off? (hitachi Microdrive)

« on: December 09, 2005, 04:36:32 pm »

I just bought a Hitachi 4GB Microdrive with:

model-number: HMS360604D5CF00
P/N: 0A40264
bar code: B4SAM9EG 54A

and when i put it into my c860 I get an anonymous memory message. fdisk etc etc wont do anything. Is there a way to make this work or did I get ripped off .

Thanks for any information.

Ok here is the update I have tried the microdrive in a Nikon D70 which is specifically listed as compatible on Hitachi's web site. t did not work so I called Hitachi and it turns out the drive is still under warraty so i asked for an RMA....perhaps I will end up with a working drive after all of this.
