For Sale / Wanted / C760 For Sale At Auction
« on: December 19, 2004, 08:24:44 pm »
Hmm, looks like our dollar is much higher than normal, sorry about that. Usually it's about x2. Payment can be  paypal, ikobo, or wire transfer to bank account. I'll check out the shipping options. Where abouts in the US?

For Sale / Wanted / C760 For Sale At Auction
« on: December 19, 2004, 06:55:06 pm »
I'm selling my Zaurus C760 via auction in New Zealand at trademe (a local auction website). The URL is:

http://www.trademe.co.nz/structure/auction...asp?id=19994705

The reserve is set to $610 (approx. $300 US). It includes a 512MB SD card and a wireless CF card. It has the pdaxrom installed so be warned that it does not have the standard sharp ROM.

Although the auction is in NZ$ I'm willing to ship to overseas bidders.

Chris.

There is some documentation on Kismet and pdaxrom here:

http://www.pdaxrom.org/index.php?showid=37&menuid=8

The command to run from terminal is 'kismet'.

Regarding the SD card issue. I'm using a 512MB SD card with RC3 without problems on a C760.

Can anyone suggest a bluetooth cf card that is known to work with the current pdaxrom (rc3)?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Mplayer w100 api files needed...
« on: August 23, 2004, 06:18:33 pm »
Binary is at http://www.double.co.nz/zaurus/w100_vid.so.gz. You'll need to unpack it with:

  gunzip w100_vid.so.gz
  cp w100_vid.so /usr/lib/mplayer/vidix

Use like:

  mplayer -vo xvidix -vop rotate=1 file.avi

Only tested and probably only works with videos that are already 320x240 in size. Try other file sizes though. If they don't work you can scale with:

  mplayer -vo xvidix -vop scale=320:240,rotate=1 file.avi

Note this will use software scaling. I haven't worked out how to hardware scale.

Notice how the overlay window is not aligned with the mplayer window.

Source will follow when I get back home (I don't have it on my Z).

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Mplayer w100 api files needed...
« on: August 23, 2004, 05:21:27 pm »
I have hacked at the code for w100_vid.so and have videos playing inside X using mplayer. You need to use the 'xvidix' driver:

  mplayer -vo xvidix -vop rotate=1 file.avi

Unfortunately it still has a number of problems:

1) I haven't been able to get the rotation of the video overlay window to align with the mplayer GUI window. Because the Z in landscape mode is '480x640' and mplayer expects 640x480 things are a bit out of kilter. To fix it I need to have w100_vid.so do the rotation itself but I haven't worked out the AtiCore magic to do this. Anyone know?

2) The X session is 640x480. I want to switch the display to 320x240 (like the qvga fbmode) to not have to scale 320x240 videos. Again, I don't know the AtiCore magic to do this.

3) I can't seem to get stretch blitting to work to scale things up to 640x480. I'm still working on this if I can't get (2) to work.

If anyone is interested I can upload the binary and source to my modified version of the w100_vid driver.

Chris.

alan, thanks for the forum link. I hadn't seen that before. That lead me to downloading the PocketMVP source here: http://home.adelphia.net/~mdukette/kits/PocketMVP_source.zip

In the ATI.cpp file from that source is some code that uses the ATI w100 functions. Some analysis of this might help debugging the problems with the vidix driver.

Chris.

libqte is what you want:


cd /opt/arm/3.3.2/armv5tel-cacko-linux/lib
grep -b AtiCore *
Binary file libqte.so matches
Binary file libqte.so.2 matches
Binary file libqte.so.2.3 matches
Binary file libqte.so.2.3.2 matches

It's definitely there.

Compiling QT embedded won't get you those library functions. They are proprietary extensions used by Sharp I believe. You'll find the required library to link against in the pdaxrom SDK.

I'm pretty sure I'm using the one from the japanese site but I've hacked around on it a little. I got things works reasonably well in the framebuffer except it wouldn't do qvga if I recall correctly. In X thought I got the problems of the rotation. I'm happy to collobarate on getting a working solution. The original video player on the Sharp ROM is amazing in terms of quality and it would be nice to get somewhere there.

What does kino2 do? Does that use the vidix driver or any ATI acceleration?

The aticore functions are located in libqte.so. Make sure you are linking against libqte. When building mplayer with the w100 driver I modify the vidix makefile to have the following:

W100_VID=w100_vid.so
W100_SRCS=w100_vid.c
W100_OBJS=w100_vid.o
W100_LIBS=-L$(QPEDIR)/lib -lqte -ljpeg
W100_CFLAGS=$(OPTFLAGS) -fPIC -I. -I..

It's the W100_LIBS line that I change to include -lqte.

vidix.h is available from the mplayer source distribution in main/vidix/vidix.h.

Unfortunately I didn't get any further. I'm open to suggestions on where to go from here.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Gnokii v0.60 for pdaxrom

Sorry, my mistake. When you asked about Cacko I thought you meant the original Cacko X11 Rom, the predecessor to the pdaXrom.

Chris.
