For those people who have ROMs/distros that support SDHC.

Debian / Debian Questions
« on: January 10, 2008, 04:17:22 pm »
I'm sorely tempted to give Debian another spin, but want to know what does/doesn't work. In general, what's broken? Can I configure keys to right/middle click easily, like in pdaXrom? Can I keep my pdaX rootfs intact, flash a new kernel, and install Debian on the microdrive, then flash the pdaX kernel back if I don't like Debian and still have a working pdaX setup?

Thanks, and I'd be happy to RTFM if there is one and if somebody would point me to it (assuming it's a RTFM situation).

EDIT: And which is faster/lighter: OABI or EABI, and where can I find it?

Gosh I feel like a newbie asking all of these questions.

Linux Applications / Xlib Assistance, Please
« on: December 12, 2007, 09:54:06 pm »
I'm trying to write an app to draw to the root window with Xlib (using C/C++). I can't find a good answer as to how to do this, so could somebody less search-impaired perhaps point me to such a place? Or perhaps provide a brief description/code sample?

Thanks.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Multiple Right Click Keys?
« on: December 04, 2007, 09:55:13 pm »
I'd like to have multiple right/middle click keys, one set for using the Z open and one for using it as a tablet (still in landscape mode, no rotation). Is this possible? I found that only the first key in /etc/sysconig/x11mousebutts was read, so that doesn't work.

Thanks.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Dillo Color Bgs?
« on: December 02, 2007, 08:22:17 pm »
I've recently been using Dillo again, and the screenshots I see have color backgrounds. How do people do this? I turn off allowing white BGs, but they persist.

Thanks.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Good Web Browser!
« on: November 29, 2007, 03:07:55 pm »
I just found the best-looking web browser I've seen in a long time!

http://www.netsurf-browser.org/

It's installed on Puppy Linux (what I'm using for now off my USB drive after nuking my HDD), renders really well (just like FF), and seems lightweight.

I'm having trouble building it, though. It appears to be looking for "lemon" Anybody know what that is?

Thanks!

Screenshot from my laptop just now.

EDIT: Found some build instructions. Trying them soon...

Linux Applications / Another C++ Issue
« on: November 21, 2007, 07:28:29 pm »
I'm getting an error:

Code: [Select]
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::ios_base::failure'
    what():  basic_ios::clear
Aborted

With my latest C++/SDL app. What causes this, and what can I do about it? It works fine on my laptop, but when I try to run it on my Z, I got the above error.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Software / Good Mrxvt Font?
« on: November 19, 2007, 09:47:17 pm »
I'm looking for a small monospaced font to use with MRXVT. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks.

EDIT: Even knowing how to set the font to be NxN would be nice.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / The Celestial Environment First Release!
« on: October 27, 2007, 11:59:12 pm »
http://www.tyrannozaurus.com/?q=project/Celestial

A new environment created as a collaborative project between Antikx and I, based off of EvilWM (now hacked to support basic config files, the name is for irony) and Wbar. It is lightweight (EvilWM uses only 1.6% of the Z's RAM tops, about ~0.9 is the lowest I've seen, Wbar uses ~4%, but looks darn good, better on a dark desktop) and has a config tool that replaces many of the built-in ones (will replace the rest soon, for me at least ) as well as provides many other functions (config Wbar and EvilWM, system info, etc).

There is one known bug, and that is when you generate a .xinitrc file, it will mess up the border colors. You need to edit it so that instead of saying (null) it says a color.

Other bug reports, feature requests, suggestions, artwork, and anything else are welcome. If you do try it, please vote and post below with your experiences.

To get started, install the IPK from my feed (so you get the deps), then read the /usr/share/celestial-config/README, or just run celestialconfig in the terminal (Under your current WM!), kill X, and get going.

Note that this will work "out of the box," more or less, on Cxx00 machines running r198. Cxx0 machines may need some key re-mapping (see the readme for directions. A GUI will most likely be available later).

Please try it out. Questions/comments/requests/etc can be posted below or emailed to celestial@tyrannozaurus.com I'll get an IPK up at Ty soon, but you'll need to get the deps manually.

EDIT: Some screen shots.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Can Python 2.5 Co-exist With Python 2.4?
« on: October 16, 2007, 06:15:44 pm »
I was going to install my Python package, but then remembered it didn't have all of the modules that the pdaXrom Python 2.4 package has, and so you can't run the config apps. Can you install Python 2.5 and have it exist nicely with 2.4? Otherwise, I could just compile the modules

Thanks.

Security and Networking / Nmap Not Working.
« on: October 14, 2007, 01:17:37 pm »
When I try to run nmap on my Zaurus (pdaX r198, Ambicom WL1100C wireless, custom-built pcap), it says

Code: [Select]
Starting Nmap 4.20 ( http://insecure.org ) at 2007-10-14 12:14 UTC
pcap_open_live(wlan0, 104, 0, 200) FAILED. Reported error: live packet capture not supported on this system.  Will wait 5 seconds then retry.
caught SIGINT signal, cleaning up

What causes this? Kismet works fine. Do I need to put the card into monitor mode or something (it's just connected to my wireless now).

Thanks.

Site Suggestions, Requests, and Updates / Uploding Files From Z
« on: October 14, 2007, 12:10:05 pm »
With the site updates, I can no longer attach files from my Z (Links2, neither text or GUI mode works). Is there a way around this (besides using FF on my Z)?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Compiling Issues
« on: October 13, 2007, 08:25:22 pm »
I've recently been getting "multiple definitions of xyz: first defined here" errors when I try to build stuff. What causes them? I'm assuming that since I'm trying to build stable/release code, it's not a code error.

I'm using the flags:
Code: [Select]
-O3 -mtune=xscale -mcpu=xscale -ffast-math -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-common
I copied the ZGCC image contents to a MD partition and took some stuff (SDL headers, OGG/Vorbis headers, etc) that I have from my own builds.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / New Mozilla Mobile Browser Coming!

This is great news! I'll definitely try to build this for pdaX when it comes out.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Random Pdax Polls
« on: October 09, 2007, 07:00:27 pm »
I'm curious to know what people are running under pdaXrom, so I made polls . Who knows, they may be useful to somebody.

If there are issues with my grouping of stuff/I forgot obvious/popular answers, feel free to flame/send me angry PMs.
