Sharp ROMs / playing wma files with Kino2 (mplayer)

« on: October 15, 2004, 12:53:19 pm »

Hi,

I have Cacko 1.21B,  with Kino2 installed. I tried to play some wma files that I have.
Kino did not do it as the file browser does not show wma files.

So, I use mplayer instead ... mplayer regconises the file, and loaded ffmpeg library to decode it ... but the output is extremely jerky, so much to a point it is not listenable ...

I have Zaurus C860.

Anyone has any ideas ?

Security and Networking / Bluetooth DUN not working ... please help

« on: October 10, 2004, 06:38:30 pm »

Hi,

I have been searching the forums all night, and cannot find an answer.

I followed the instruction to set up my Bluetooth CF with my T630 as described in

http://www.zaurususergroup.com/modules.php...ename=Bluetooth

and

shirtpocket site

Everything is ok until I start DUN in Networks, it seems that Zaurus is trying to initiate the T630, but the BT CF just does not light up at all + there is no indication at all from the phone that things are happening.

I then tried

dund -c 00:0E:XX:XX:7F:XX
It seems to work, lights on BT CF and T630 blinks ...

sdptool browse
it works.

hciconfig
It works ...

Are there any commandline that test the DUN interface ?
How can I test /dev/rfcomm0 is working ?

Need help desperately ...

Thanks.

Sharp ROMs / Cacko ROM 1.21 kernel zImage

« on: September 29, 2004, 07:01:19 pm »

Hi,

I just found out that in order for my Cacko ROM 1.21B to support codepage 950, I need to recompile the kernel for it to support it ...

I was wondering where can I get the source code for the C860 Cacko 1.21 kernel source code, patches applied, and more importantly what setting has been made in menuconfig ...

Once I compile the zImage, how can I just update the kernel with minimum impact on my current Cacko system.

Some help would be nice.

General Discussion / c860 music player not seeing unicode files

« on: September 06, 2004, 10:12:11 am »

Hi,

I was fiddling around with NFS with my C860. IT sort of works, but not to my liking.
I set up my NFS server on a windows machine using cygwin from the guide
http://www.csparks.com/CygwinNFS.xml

Once set up, I can use my cacko 1.21b C860 to mount filesystem. Using a console, I can cd into the directory, and see all files (even unicode files). However, this is the problem:

1. Music player on C860 file browser will just ignore any NFS mounted files or directories that have unicode charaters.

2. I tried using mplayer to play those files, and failed.

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could help. I searched through this foruem, and got half the answers I wanted.

-I have a switch/router box 192.168.0.1
-I have several computers behind it, some uses DHCP from router,and others are fixed (as they provide some services)
-My zaurus is physically connected to a WinXP machine (192.168.0.4) in bridge mode.
Zaurus IP address is set to 192.168.0.5
-I manually added a default gw to the zaurus,
route add -net default gw 192.168.0.1 netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1 usbd0
-On the zaurus, I am able to ping external sites like google.com ... etc, and I am able to browse internet using opera when usb connected.

Here are my questions:

1. I cannot sync the zaurus to my WinXP anymore., can anyone tell me what is wrong ?

2. How do I ping internal MS workgroup computers by name ?

Many thanks.

Best

Software / SD and CF not refreshing automatically

« on: August 10, 2004, 09:04:57 am »

Hi,

I have a C860 with Cacko Zaurus Qtopia ROM 1.21 1914070404

Yesterday, my Wifi CF drain the battery, and after the battery is recharged, it reboots.

There was an error message during boot.  Now, when I hot plug CF card, the CF icon in  the "Files" tab in Qtopia desktop does not appear anymore. However, using Konsole, I can see and use files in /mnt/cf

And the SD icon is always there despite if I unplug it form the C860.

Can anyone help ?

Thanks.

Desperately need your help.

Cheers
