Zaurus - pdaXrom / Manual Cf Card Enable/disable?

« on: April 16, 2006, 09:29:35 pm »

Wifi is not as stingy.  I find myself taking my card out to save battery life.  It would be nice to have a way to keep the card inactive upon resume.  Any takers?

Card behaviour is controlled by /etc/apm/scripts.d/cardctl, mine looks like so:

Code: [Select]

.
.
.
resume() {
 Â cardctl insert 0 2>/dev/null

 Â return 0
}
.
.
.Just comment out or remove the "cardctl insert ..." line.

-- cheers

No use.
I comment out the line, and the card is still up when resumed.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Manual Cf Card Enable/disable?

« on: April 16, 2006, 10:09:25 am »

I'd like to keep my bluetooth CF card inserted in the CF slot, but only provide power and enable it when I want to use it (for dial up). I mean, I don't want to waste my battery power when not used.
I tried to use cardctl to make the card down, but it will be up automatically when resume from suspend.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Hide Sd Card From Matchbox's Card Applet?

Why not just move the applet (or remove it completely if you never use it)?

I still need to manipulate CF cards.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Hide Sd Card From Matchbox's Card Applet?

« on: April 03, 2006, 03:02:01 am »

I almost keep my SD card inserted as main storage all the time,
so it is not necessary for me to handle SD card in matchbox's card applet.
Besides, I am afraid I would possibly mis-click the SD icon in the applet.
So is there any way to hide it from the applet?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Couldn't Init Font Path Element?

« on: March 12, 2006, 08:20:47 pm »

my startx produces a message:

"Couldn't init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF, .....

but actually I can use my TrueType fonts without problems.
However, I doubt that's the reason why I cannot use those fonts in conventional X applications. So how should I configure the font path?
Besides, it seems that the XF86Config is not necessary in pdaxrom? I cannot find one under /etc/X11.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Make Ttf Font Selectable By X Window Apps?

« on: March 12, 2006, 03:59:19 am »

Some traditional (non gtk) X window applications cannot use my TrueType fonts directly. I attempted to mkfontscale under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF and it generated a fonts.scale. It contains all my truetype fonts mapping. I renamed the fonts.scale to fonts.dir and restarted the X window.
I tried with xlsfonts to list all available fonts but cannot find any truetype fonts.
So what exactly should I do?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Dialog Window Too Large To Display

« on: March 11, 2006, 03:40:19 am »

When I use File/Open menu in abiword or gnumeric,
it will display a dialog for selecting files to open.
The dialog is too large to fit in a 640x480 screen, and I cannot resize
or move the dialog window to select my files.
Someone got the same problem too? and how do you solve it?
Thanks.

Software / Missing Libgnomevfs-2

« on: March 09, 2006, 11:18:39 pm »

I installed the GNumeric 1.6 (got from the Feeds) for my C700, since it doesn't come with pdaXrom. After installed, I found it cannot run due to missing of many dependent libraries, like goffice,..., so I got those stuff from the Feeds.
However, it requires a library called libgnomevfs-2, and it cannot be found in the feeds. I cannot find it's source in internet as well.
So how can I get the Gnumeric run?
Thanks.
