Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Usb Bluetooth Woes

« on: July 14, 2007, 10:03:41 pm »

I have a Targus usb Bluetooth adapter.  When I plug it into Z (Akita), it is recognized, only after doing a "modprobe ohci-hcd".

dmesg reports:

But when I try to scan for devices, it says "inquiry failed".  I have 2 devices waiting for a connection.  Any clues?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Installing Xserver On Console Image

« on: July 09, 2007, 12:26:14 pm »

After installing the Angstrom console image, how does one go about installing packages to enable xserver?  I got to a point where X would try to start and then it says no screen found.  I've searched everywhere and found no answer.

Thank you.

p.s. I know it's easier to install the X image, but I have a reason for wanting to install the base.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Icewm - The Ultimate Configuration

« on: October 19, 2006, 02:27:01 pm »

Screenshots here:
http://www.cleverswine.net/kn/zaurus.html

pdaXrom beta3
IceWM with SilverXP theme (some fonts and the "start" menu modified)
* get themes here: http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/925/
extract the archive into your /usr/share/icewm/themes directory and then select the theme from the menu

IceWM has a low memory footprint and is reasonably fast (esp compared to other WMs on the Z)

The background image is set using icewmbg (started by icewm-session).  XScreensaver is also enabled, and working.  Here is an excerpt from my .xinitrc:

Code: [Select]

xhost +
sudo -u zaurus xscreensaver -verbose -nosplash&
icewm-session 2>/dev/null >/dev/null
in the ~/.icewm/prefoverride file, you can override the theme's background by adding this:

Code: [Select]

#  Desktop background image
DesktopBackgroundImage="/mnt/card/data/main.png"
The panel was manipulated by editing ~/.icewm/toolbar
I created a personalized launcher menu with:

Code: [Select]

menufile favs /usr/share/pixmaps/firefox.png favs
and created the file ~/.icewm/favs to hold the launcher items:

Code: [Select]

prog kopi /usr/share/pixmaps/date.png kopi
prog sylpheed /usr/share/pixmaps/sylpheed.png sylpheed
prog rox /usr/share/pixmaps/rox.png rox
prog leafpad /usr/share/pixmaps/leafpad.png leafpad
prog firefox /usr/share/pixmaps/firefox.png firefox
prog konq /mnt/card/usr/lib/kde/pics/konqueror.png konq
prog dillo /usr/share/pixmaps/dillo.png dillo
prog gaim /usr/share/pixmaps/gaim.png gaim
prog abiword /usr/share/pixmaps/abiword_48.png abiword
prog gqview /usr/share/pixmaps/gqview.png gqview
prog gftp /usr/share/pixmaps/gftp.png gftp
prog aterm /usr/share/pixmaps/gtkterm2.png aterm
The "start" menu can be customized by editing ~/.icewm/menu
I simplified mine by removing most of the menu items, leaving me with Programs and Settings:

Code: [Select]

# This is an example for IceWM's menu definition file.
#
# Place your variants in /etc/icewm or in $HOME/.icewm
# since modifications to this file will be discarded when you
# (re)install icewm.
#
#separator
#menuprog Gnome folder icewm-menu-gnome1 --list
#menuprog KDE folder icewm-menu-gnome --list
menufile Programs /usr/share/icewm/pixmaps/mbfolder.png programs
menufile Settings /usr/share/icewm/pixmaps/mbfolder_system.png Settings
#menufile Tool_bar folder toolbar
To change the "start" menu button, edit the image /usr/share/icewm/themes/[the them you are using]/icewm.xpm

The IceWM web site also has helpful info:

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Tools For Gui Dev In Gpe

« on: June 09, 2006, 07:58:07 pm »

I would like to do some gtk development for GPE, but I'm having a difficult time finding languages/bindings that work.  Python seems to be the predominant language with the most APIs for GPE development, but I would prefer to avoid Python.

I would specifically like to use the Ruby/GTK binding, but after a couple of tries, I have been unable to install it from source.  I wonder if someone could package up some Ruby tools for GPE??

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Desktop Folders And Shortcuts

« on: May 31, 2006, 08:20:19 pm »

Is there a way to move application shortcuts from folder to folder, and create or remove  folders from the desktop (and panel menu)?  A lot of the folder structure makes NO sense (i.e. Gaim in "Other"...)

Plus, say I move sylpheed from the "Other" folder to a new folder called "PIM".  What will happen when I uninstall sylpheed?

A GUI app for customizing the panel menu and desktop layout would be great.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Fbpanel

« on: May 09, 2006, 11:54:37 am »

I'm trying to replace mb panel with fbpanel by editing ~/.xinitrc.  I installed fbpanel and then made the following change in .xinitrc:

eval "matchbox-desktop $MBBGND" 2>/dev/null >/dev/null &
#eval "matchbox-panel --no-flip $MBORIENT" 2>/dev/null >/dev/null
fbpanel &

I've tried various things, but no matter what I do - X server shuts down if matchbox-panel isn't started (or if it's killed).  Hints please?

p.s. what exactly does 2>/dev/null >/dev/null do?  I assume it sends program out put to null device, but what is the 2>/dev/null all about?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Hawking Cf Ethernet Adapter

« on: April 25, 2006, 01:23:49 pm »

I have a Hawking CF Ethernet Adapter (H-CF686TX) and OZ 3.5.4.1 Alpha2.  Plugging in the CF card, I get network activity on the card, but OZ does not bind it to an interface.  ifconfig does not show eth0.  I suspect that the card is not binding to a network module (?).  This card worked "plug and play" in cacko 1.23.

pccardctl ident:
product info: "Fast Ethernet", "CF Size PC Card", "1.0", ""
manfid: 0x0149, 0xc1ab
function: 6 (network)

Where can I enter this information to get it to bind??

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Usb Ethernet

OZ 3.5.4.1 Alpha2 / C1000

1.  I just bought a USB Lan adapter (Linksys) for a wired ethernet connection, and the appropriate cables for my C1000 - the mini A to make Zaurus a host.  When I plug anything into the USB adapter, nothing happens.  No power goes to the USB device, and the Z does nothing.  Nothing shows up in dmesg either.  Could it be that I don't have the appropriate modules loaded?  Also, 'lsusb' isn't recognized as a command.

2.  Can I expect USB/ethernet to work without much tweaking?

Does the C1000 have bluetooth?  I can't find specifications in English.

Thanks.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Sd Card Not Found

« on: February 19, 2006, 05:11:00 pm »

I've just flashed my SL5500 (collie) Zaurus with pdaxrom 1.1.0beta1 and my SD card doesn't appear in /dev and I can't mount it.  There is no /dev/mmc* file at all.  df doesn't show it.  SD drivers/modules appear to be installed and running, but my card is "invisible".  Help.  I can post dmesg output or whatever if needed.

General Discussion / Force CF card to be recognized?

« on: July 16, 2004, 02:55:38 pm »

My Wifi CF card is almost always identified as Anonymous Memory when it is inserted.  About 1 out of every 10 times, it is recognized correctly.  Is there any way to force the system to see it as a wifi card and load the appropriate modules?  Also, would this problem be a symptom of a failing CF card, or a failing CF port on the Zaurus?

Security and Networking / wifi cf card loses connection

« on: June 23, 2004, 10:40:24 pm »

When I insert my CF WIFI card, it seems to be recognized and the network icon appears, as expected.  I connect to my wireless LAN and everything is fine for about 1 minute.  After about 1 minute, the signal strength rapidly decreases until there is none, although it still shows my dhcp assigned info.  Has anyone else seen this, or have any clue what I my try to fix it?
