« on: September 06, 2009, 07:06:00 pm »

I'm going to Tokyo in two weeks and would like to get some accessories for my Zaurus C1000 there, especially a spare battery, a CF GPS card and maybe a CF Ethernet adaptor (used or new) - can anybody indicate a good shop for those items? Thanks in advance, Hannes

Sharp ROMs / Mobilemap On C1000?

« on: September 01, 2009, 11:49:41 am »

I'm going to Japan in a few weeks and was wondering if any C3100 owner would be willing to provide me with the necessary files to try MobileMap on my C1000, if this is at all possible?

Sharp ROMs / Tomotko And Japanese Input Method

« on: August 31, 2009, 05:40:35 pm »

I'm using Cacko lite 1.23 with japanese-support-C1k installed for the japanese input methods. I seem to have a problem creating flashcards in toMOTko with one side in japanese and the other side in english - after inserting japanese text I close the virtual keyboard to input english via the real keyboard and the japanese text disappears. I guess I must be doing something wrong...
Also, is there some documentation about the japanese input methods? I'm still in the early stage of learning hiragana and katakana, but I would to know how to use them better.

Debian / Maxpower And Kernel Config

« on: December 21, 2008, 05:08:05 pm »

In Cacko I have no problem using usb devices which need up to 500 mA with my SL-C1000, but certain drivers (e.g. for usb wifi cards) are not available for kernel 2.4. On the other hand, in kernel 2.6 we have all the up-to-date drivers, but due to more restrictive power management we can't use hardware that requests more than 150 mA from the usb bus without a powered hub. Seemingly the 150 mA is a kernel limit, not a hardware limit, so it should be possible to recompile the kernel changing certain options (which ones?) to get 500 mA from the usb bus?

Sharp ROMs / Any Hope For Usb Lan/wifi Adapters On Cacko?

« on: September 22, 2008, 07:58:35 pm »

Hello,
I have recently spent quite some time google-ing and trying to get the following usb-adapters to work on my C1000 with Cacko:
 
     - an Asus WL-167G wifi stick, uses the rt73-kernel module, found instructions and source for the driver, but couldn't compile
       it (I'm using eviljazz's kernel and his source tree, and Meanie's zgcc-2.95.2, big thanks to both of them!)
     - a Zyxel G-202, managed to compile the zd1211b driver from the sources found on
       http://ldrolez.free.fr/software/zauruscode/, but "device is not claimed by any active driver"
     - an Usb-ethernet adapter using the AX88178 Chip, which might or might not be supported by the usbnet-driver, could not
       find out for sure - drivers available from Asix only for 2.6.x, - dmesg says once more "device is not claimed by any active
       driver"       .

I'd be happy if somebody could give me a hint on any of these devices, even if it is "give it up, it doesn't work" (at least I stop wasting time   ) - but then, what does work? I could not find a comprehensive list of compatible usb-devices for Cacko/Sharp Rom anywhere.

Sharp ROMs / Looking For Zcalc And Zoutline Ipks

« on: August 14, 2008, 04:37:07 am »

Hi, does anybody by any chance have an archived copy of zcalc and/or zoutline? It seems like they can't be found on the net anymore and as I'm evaluating various alternatives for the programs I need, I would like to give them a try.

Linux Applications / Grisbi Window Size

« on: April 17, 2007, 01:41:17 pm »

I managed to compile grisbi (a personal finance manager) onboard on my SL-C1000 with OZ 3.5.4.1 installed. The problem is that the windows are too big for the screen (apart from the main window, whose size I can set in .grisbirc). Is there any way to limit the window size? The application uses gtk+.

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Keyboard Not Working

« on: April 15, 2007, 03:52:01 pm »

I have the latest Hentges/GPE-Rom installed on my C1000. To get the "best of both worlds" I installed all the task-opie-base* packages with their dependencies from the 3.5.4.1 feeds  to /home and ipkg-linked them. Unfortunately, the hardware keyboard does not work in any program. What am I missing? Any ideas?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Active Tasks Folder

« on: March 30, 2007, 05:55:12 am »

I'm using the gpe/fluxbox rom from hentges.net and would like to get rid of the "active tasks" folder on the desktop, as fluxbox contains a tasklist. Can anybody give me a hint please?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Root Partition Size

« on: January 27, 2007, 07:01:22 pm »

I'm using an SL C1000 with OZ/GPE and after some tweaking, uninstalling and installing my root partition has arrived at almost 90% use, whereas my home partition sits there at an idle 3%. I know I can always install software to /home, but I was wondering if there is a way (in OZ, I mean) to repartition the internal flash and mount all of it on /, maybe by moving root to sd with altboot, repartition and move root back again? would that work?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Backup Solution ?

« on: January 27, 2007, 06:41:14 pm »

Is it possible to back up the present state of my Akita, OZ 3.5.4.1, GPE with the NAND backup utility from the Sharp service menu, or is there another way that lets me easily restore my ROM in case anything goes wrong? - Thanks

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / How To Start Fluxbox?

« on: December 26, 2006, 09:42:43 am »

Hello everybody, after trying the various ROMS out there I decided to stick with Openzaurus on my akita. I did a bootstrap install, installed fluxbox and xserver-kdrive-xfbdev (would it also be possible to install a standard xfree or xorg in Openzaurus?) with their dependencies, and now I'm trying to figure out how to start fluxbox    . I can get into graphics mode by running Xfbdev, but I cant' find a way to make startfluxbox connect to the xserver. Can anybody help me?
