« on: December 08, 2004, 11:22:28 pm »

Secunia has reported a vulnerability which affect all web browsers, including Opera. There is also a story on /.

I checked and this vulnerability exists on the Opera version shipped with the Z6K (7.25). It seems latest version of Opera is not vulnerable (7.54).

Anybidy knows how Opera can be upgraded on the Zaurus and if there is a cost?

Software / IRK, mapping and dead keys

« on: November 19, 2004, 02:35:27 pm »

I have a Targus Universal Wireless Keyboard and I am currently using the IRK package. I am trying to figure out how to remap the keyboard to something more suitable for my mother tongue, french-canadian. I looked at the IRK.conf file, but it is not obvious to me how I can use it, in particular for the dead keys when I need a sequence of two keys to draw a single glyph.

Someone can give me some hints...

Site Suggestions, Requests, and Updates / Outdated stuff on ZUG

« on: November 19, 2004, 11:36:27 am »

I was interested with DTM API and found a page on the subject on the ZUG site. Some links are broken, I decided to contact the original author and he told me he no longer program for the Z, but he managed to send me all the required docs and samples. I tried to edit the page in order to remove outdated stuff and replace broken links without success. I suppose only the original author can edit the page, is it possible to transfer the ownership of this page to myself or have someone else update it? I just don't want to be selfish and keep all the info for myself...

General Discussion / Which filesystem?

« on: November 11, 2004, 10:14:48 am »

I just received my 1GB Lexar SD Card and I would like to know which filesystem is preferrable to format it?

I don't plan to use this SD card in any non-Linux device, so I don't see any need to stick with the FAT format, unless there is an obscur reason for such a choice.

I am planning to eventually switch to OZ or at last experiment with. Is there any problems flashing from a SD and/or CF storage other than FAT?

Which filesystems are supported? Any problems when suspending/resuming?

So, I am seeking for you advise.

6000 - Tosa / USB 2.0 to VGA adapter

« on: November 01, 2004, 11:13:33 pm »

Anybody has experimented with the USB 2.0 to VGA adapter from Telegnosis and referenced in this thread?

This gizmo is sold rebranded by:

• Sitecom CN-105
• USBgear
• Tritton

Some details maybe gathered from the item five of this discussion.

It looks like a very viable alternative to the sloooow unusable CF VGA adapters which are suitable only for presentation if comments I read about it are true.
