Zaurus - pdaXrom / Oops...xinitrc

« on: February 10, 2007, 08:31:34 pm »

Well, I seem to have messed up Openbox by installing fluxbox. I installed the theme package in one of the threads and it felt the need to hijack my .xinitrc (I was going to have an xinitrc.fluxbox and a startfluxbox like I have for XFCE). Since I can't seem to find the default .xinitrc for openbox anywhere, could someone help me out and post theirs? It seems like a waste to reflash just when I got everything running perfectly when I could simply replace the .xinitrc (and although I could make a new .xinitrc and get it up and running, I'm not good enough to get it to the exact state it started in).

I would be eternally grateful if someone could help me out...(and I would make a backup of it in case this happened again!)

General Discussion / Zaurus Sets Off Detector!

I now have a c-3200 and have not experienced it yet.

Strange -- I have a C3200 and it does set off the detector. I guess I got unlucky.

General Discussion / Zaurus Sets Off Detector!

Well, I just got a Z (C3200) and am extremely happy with it. However, it has one very annoying quality. Every time (well, the vast vast majority of the time, anyway) I walk through the book detectors in a library that check for the tag in books it goes off. This happened very infrequently (ie once every 50 times or so) before I got my Z (I narrowed it down to either my phone, which can be on or off, or my Palm Tungsten T3, which was always off). But it happens about 90% of the time now, and so every time I want to leave the library I have to get someone from the staff to hand me my Zaurus after I walk through.

This may not be a huge problem to some people, but I'm a university student and I have to leave the library 2-4 times a day (which is VERY annoying when the alarm keeps going off). The Zaurus has been on suspend and fully turned off (ie "shutdown -h now" in pdaXrom) and it set off the alarm each time.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything I can do (other than build a Faraday cage - lol)?
