ELSI General Discussion / ZSI Name

« on: November 09, 2004, 09:54:17 am »

Ok, so what you guys are proposing is to have a site that's much more than just a ZSI.  You want a site that's a repository for all things embedded?

That's interesting, and definately possible.  Would I need to ask what kind of PDA a certain software is made for than when you enter it into the DB, or does that not matter as long as you're using the same os?

dz yo might want to do a sub categories then something like:
manufacturer -> sub model

sharp -> Select models (SL-6000, CL-3000)
HP -> H6300
Yopy -  YP3700
Simpad - xxxx

So peoples could select in search
'I want apps for HP devices, for familiar'
'I want apps for CL-3000 for openzaurus'
'I want apps for SL-5000 for Sharp Rom and cacko ROM'

Well soemthing like that I guess, except if someone see better than the 'manufacturer'.


For the domain name i dont know, I like vault (ZVault that someone said). Maybe thats could be like EVault (sure is taken) or LEVault (Linux Embedded Vault).
LESoft.org. LHEsoft, LHEVault whatver is not 'bad'

I believe my battery is weak (I find it very weak with wifi, doesnt last more than 15 or 20 minutes) because i did that, 30 minutes of charge did some test, etc then let it charge. Maybe it doesnt help. Else without wifi, i have like a hour or so with full light on.

6000 - Tosa / Best SDL for SL6000L?

« on: November 02, 2004, 09:02:46 pm »

I doubt you will find anything faster, since im pretty sure the externe.net version already use FB and the fast stuff.

Good guess someone has to compile exult in 320x240 if possible

Sharp ROMs / Trolltech Qtopia 2.1 ROM soon

« on: November 02, 2004, 10:30:47 am »

I know its been posted before, but in a "off-topic" post.
http://www.trolltech.com/developer/faqs/qt...tml?cid=22#q110

I was talking to lpotter (Qtopia Community Liaison) the other night about TT plan, and he told me (like the faq) that the Qtopia version 2.1 rom should be out very soon. Thats great news. Im really looking forward to it.

Like 5-6 months ago. I did some Qtopia 1.7 image for my c700, it was really bugged (couples of patches i took from opie to make keyboard work, ts was messed up etc). But i saw the UI and it was a really great improvement. Everything was nicer and cleaner. Im looking a lots forward the 2.1 version (especially since sharp is stuck at 1.5.4 forever). I believe since its directly linked to Qtopia Desktop that Sync will be really better. (Hopefully with Mozilla someday). Of course a lots of peoples swtiched to KDE/PiM already, but who know what TT will release

The ROM will be gcc 2.95.3 to keep compatiblity with older version (so standard sharp ipk will work, guessing the rom is using the same ipkg). I guess they will use the standard 2.4.18 kernel too. Hopefully sashz or others will add the "nice to have" features and support from cacko ROM next

I hope they release the ROM with gcc 3.4.2 for the 20-25x speed improvement later. (even if it break all .ipk compat).

Anyone else looking forward the new Qtopia version ?

6000 - Tosa / Best SDL for SL6000L?

« on: November 02, 2004, 10:02:43 am »

I tried to install the lib sdl in zports site, but the problems remain:
Scummvm starts and work (I only tried with my vga Secret of monkey Island at 320x240), but the initial screen is compeltely messed up (you have to move the cursor around to have it redrawn correctly).

Sound like you didnt had the lastest version for sure, these were old bugs in older versions. I believe externe.net use the sdl with framebuffer on, this might get you rotation problem. (If you ever had some). But a greater speed. Especially if you plan to play Monkey Island 3 (the only 640x480 game). Its very slow since we have no hardware acceleration. (no w100 chip drivers etc).

6000 - Tosa / Best SDL for SL6000L?

« on: October 31, 2004, 05:55:22 pm »

Try the zports from the web site, zports.sf.net

Version 5 or something and scmumvm is there, should work fine on your 6000L

Off Topic forum / OT: question regarding French language

« on: October 28, 2004, 08:59:20 am »

Offtopic question: is a text in French still understandable if all accents are stripped, i.e. all characters are converted to their ASCII equivalents?

Yes, its very easy to understand a text without accent. Thats doesnt change much, peoples know the words already.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Most important missing/to be fixed in pdaXrom?

« on: October 27, 2004, 10:41:47 am »

The thing that always bugged me is the screen "flickering". Not sure how fixable it is thought from the w100 hack. Or if fixable at all.

Accessories / Who needs an SL-C3000? 2GB SD!!

« on: October 18, 2004, 04:16:19 pm »

People here point out at the speed of the mediums but ... mechanical hds are weak .... what if your brand new slc-3000 fall down ? Even taking really care of my 860 it fell down 2 or 3 times with -thank god- no problem... BUT a mechanical hd may get destroyed by falling down and you'll lose everything   Besides even moving the hd while reading on it could cause bad sectors or whatever   I think i'll stick to my 860 for now  

Is not a mini-iPOD or the 500 others mp3 players with 4-5 gigs HD the same thing ? I never heard of the HD stop working so much...

C1000/3x00 General discussions / NEW clamshell model shipping NOV 10

« on: October 15, 2004, 04:02:41 pm »

I'm hoping this is the new "c700" .. the lowest end, soon to be surpassed and forgotten.

:->

Scott

Me too thats what Im hoping. And i think thats what will happen. Sharp want to do money, in 3-4 months they get the models with 128 ROM / 128 RAM out with the 612 mhz, then they get the wifi / bt model out, then etc etc updating model = peoples buy more than 1 device
