Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom For C3000 (based On Beta1/beta3)

« on: January 08, 2007, 02:15:19 am »

I cannot download hdimage-full.tgz. I'm always redirected to http://www.tyrannozaurus.com home page. I was able to download all the other files   
Is there any other location where I could get hdimage-full.tgz 5.2 ?

Thanks !

Initially, I had exactly the same problem yesterday. I kept trying every other hour and suddenly it worked (using Firefox on a Gentoo box). I thought it was Meanie not yet ready with the upload.

   no, not yet... I've been trying from time to time...
I thought that it could be caused by some "black list" of IPs.
But the result is the same even through a VPN connection to UK then to [a href=\"http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/feed/pdaXii13/files/hdimage-full.tgz]http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/feed/pdaXii13...dimage-full.tgz[/url]

Any ideas or alternate solution ?

it would work if you used the right url:
[a href=\"http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/feed/pdaXii13/tmp/hdimage-full.tgz]http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/feed/pdaXii13...dimage-full.tgz[/url]
[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Ok thanks it works. Sorry for the mistake.
But I think page [a href=\"http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/feed/pdaXii13/files/]http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/feed/pdaXii13/files/[/url] should be updated as it still says 'hdimage-full.tgz (158MB) - build5.2' in the 'distro images for the microdrive' part and points to a the dead link. Could be misleading.

I've just installed build 3. Unfortunately bvdd video isn't working again- I've tried both mplayer1 and mplayer2 but neither wants to do the full-screen bvdd thing- what a shame!

I have just tried mplayer & mplayer2 with the very last Meanie upload. Option "-vo bvdd" worked fine. Same with "-vm".
Could you post the exact mplayer parameters you are trying?

rui65:

You got mplayer working? I'd imagine you're running the Tetsu kernel aren't you? Does wifi work for you with Tetsu kernel?

I suppose that, after installing the bvdd module I could install a non-iwmmxt mplayer and run that under the b2 kernel but I'm absolutely certain I could run the iwmmxt accelerated mplayer under the last beta with stock kernel. Am I imagining that?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=147218\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Yes : Tetsu's kernel.
Sorry I don't use Wifi, only a very classical CF Ethernet adaptor.

bvdd
Now mplayer is working with bvdd. I thing that the bvvd.o module in the archive in somewhat incompatible with the included Mplayer.
To fix that I downloaded bvdd from http://atty.skr.jp/mplayer.html.
I extracted only bvdd.o from the ipk file and I put it in /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/video. Obviously I did backup the initial bvdd.o.
A simple rmod/modprobe did not work. I got some warnings about "tainted modules".
But after rebooting, I was able to play AVI files with bvdd.
It's really faster that what I have tried till know in my C3000.
I also set the CPU speed to the maximum (624 MHz).

Give it a try !

ts_calibrate
I got the same problem : could not start the calibration.
I think part of the problem lies in startx script : ts_calibrate is called using "sudo" but sudo is missing.
But even after having removed the "sudo" calls, the calibration started but I got only a black screen once finished.
Sometime later I had to reboot and the calibration appeard. I did it and X started just after. But I don't know why it started to work !!


FS Corruption
I got some too but this is not a real surprise because I did quite a few "resets".

Question : I have a Ethernet CF in the slot. I am wondering if the current PdaXrom is designed for such a configuration or if it only correcly handles suspend/resume/reboot for a disk CF. Just wondering...

Yes !!! It does suspend and restore: this is great. Now Pdaxrom is easily usable !

I followed the directions in http://www.users.on.net/~hluc/myZaurus/pdaxii13.html to watch a video with Mplayer but the bvdd driver is invalid for both /usr/bin/mplayer and /usr/local/bin/mplayer.
I think that the first one (from Atty) is one recommanded.
Message is "Non supported bvdd".

I am using the Tetsu kernel and hdimage-custom.tgz. "hdimage-full.tgz." cannot be downloaded today. I was always redirected to http://www.tyrannozaurus.com home page when I tried.

So I think that the Mplayer I am using (from hdimage-custom.tgz) is may be not the right one to use bvdd.

Could someone help me in getting "mplayer -vo bvdd ..." working please ?

Thanks,

Rui
