OpenBSD / Good-bye Openbsd/z

« on: November 10, 2006, 04:54:41 pm »

Well, I've finally decided that it was time to move on to a Thinkpad for my OpenBSD... I'd just like to say thanks to everyone on here, esp. math and andy for all their help and kind messages.

In the end, the Z was cool but I needed something faster and with a more useable keyboard. I am interested in that that new Konjisha (or whatever) computer that Conics will be stocking in early December, but until then this IBM T42 Thinkpad is my new OBSD toy.  Thanks again!

For Sale / Wanted / Sold! Sl-c3200 W/ Accessories In Canada

« on: November 01, 2006, 06:00:00 pm »

I have a SL-C3200 with only about 72-80 hours worth of use on it in total. I started to play with OpenBSD when I got it in April but it is too small for any kind of development. I just bought an IBM T42 and put OpenBSD on it instead. I will flash the original English Sharp rom before shipping and get rid of OpenBSD.

What I'm selling

SL-C3200 in almost new condition, no scratches to screen or casing
Sharp A/C adapter for North American/Japan
Buffalo wireless CF card
Buffalo ethernet CF card
512MB Sandisk CF card
2gig Sandisk SD card (not pictured as I forgot to include it in the photo)
3 screen protectors (one is outside of original packaging but like new)
Male USB to mini adapter
Female USB to mini adapter

All docs and cds in original box!

Asking $450US + shipping from Mississauga, Ontario, Canada to anywhere in North America. Shipping Insurance is a MUST! Paypal only, unconfirmed addresses with ship after 3 days.

Will be going on ebay in a day or two! Check my 85 feedback with 100% positive, ebay name is sligo1

I agree with math, I had a shipment of stuff from Brett go wrong and he was unbelieveably quick in correcting the problem. I would have no problem buying stuff from conics if Brett says it works.

Then again I am so tempted by the new UX90 with 32gig Flash Memory Drive... maybe it's not a good idea.

I'm still not sold on this thing... though it would be sweet to have! I dont care about the buttons either on the side, just basic support, x11, wireless, etc. I'll have to look later for the chipset on the Sony.

update: looks like an Intel 3945ABG might be in there, and with Damien's firmware, it would be work in OBSD

They will all run *bsd... but support might be crap. That OQO model from jcs laptop page had problems with wireless internet. What wireless device does the Sony use? Also, X11 was messed on the OQO, could be same on Sony.

I'd look for the specs, but I'm at work and these comps suck.. must be 13 years old.

Why do I have the feeling that the Sony VGN-UX90PS will never fully support OpenBSD? haha christ we haven't even got everything on the Z working. Though good point about i386...

Hopefully Brett at Conics will realize that if *bsd supports this device relatively well, then some (rich) people out there might be buying them!

OpenBSD / 4.0 -beta Packages (and Asst C3200 Info) Available

« on: October 08, 2006, 10:59:40 am »

I got it going... I remember having a few freezing problems and went with Ion3. Since then, no problems. I'm only in X for dillo though. Try ion3 is my only suggestion. Sorry mate.


Anyone get dwm running on 4.0beta? It compiles fine, and works with the stylus (switches modes/desktops), but the moment I use any z keys it freezes.

I did try dwm out on laptop, and it's very cool! Right up my alley anyway.  Could easily see using it full time on limited-resource devices.

ion3 is perfect for the Z. Make sure you copy the config files from /usr/local/share/examples/ion3/ to ~/.ion3/  There's alot of config options regarding keybindings in cfg_ioncore.lua and you can change the look and feel by editing look.lua.

i agree... thanks for the tip. i copied it over to ~/.ion3 and set replaced the F5 button with the F12 menu button and boom... working great!

I finally got mozilla-firefox to build without error (took 3 days to build); however, I cannot get it to run for longer than one minute.    It starts up but will exit with no error indication. Not sure if it is just to big to run on the Z or if I'm missing some files which it depends on. (I think I may be missing some files related to GTK because when I start firefox-bin -ProfileManager it seems to be missing the Exit, Start Firefox widgets). I'm going to get with Andy and see if we can fix the problem.

EDIT: The TestGTKEmbed works great, but this is just minimo without the fancy frontend.
