Software / How to auto mount sd card?

« on: January 21, 2004, 10:32:59 am »

I am a newbie, too. But I think there is a stuipd but simple solution. If you are using Sharp ROM, just reflash it. All the data and programs you installed before will stay there. And hopefully you\'ll recover the battery applet.

Sorry my bad. I format the raw mmcda. After fdisk and reformat the mmcda1, it now can be auto mounted. So glad.

Remember do not use zemufe to start the game. Just use the down-to-earth command line! Sometimes the keyboard got locked. But most of the time it works like a champ!

Software / How to auto mount sd card?

« on: January 21, 2004, 12:39:41 am »

I reformatted my 256MB Sandisk SD card to ext2. After that, my Zaurus sl-5600 didn\'t auto mount the SD card. I edited the /etc/fstab and modify the entry for sd card to \"/dev/mmcda /mnt/card ext2 noauto 0 0\". But it still didn\'t work. But I can manually mount the card by typing \"mount /mnt/card/\".

What\'s the problem? I really needs to mount the sd card since I\'ll put some special font files there for the localization purpose.

5x00 Hardware / how many dead pixels are normal?

So there could be dust under the screen? Then it\'s terrible since I saw a lot dust!

I just noticed there are around 10 dead pixels on the screen, though they are small and most of them are almost invisible. Should I return it for a new one?

Finally got it! Under Sharp ROM 1.32 with special kernel, I installed libSDL_1.2.6cvs-1_arm.ipk, zlib_1.1.4-2_arm.ipk, visualboyadvance_1.7-SDL-1_arm.ipk, and snes9x_SDL-1_arm.ipk. Snes9x runs very smooth with sound. But the landscape view is a bit annoying.  VBA is also playable with sound off. I tried to set the sound sampling rate to 11khz. It sounds better but still not satisfactory.

Cheers!

Hi, I was able to install OZ3.3.5 on my SL-5600.  But after I installed the VBA and the required libsdl and zlib files, I couldn\'t run it. It seems that symbol links have problem. How did you manage to run VBA under OZ3.3.5?

I\'m installing OZ3.3.6pre1. The md5sum gives FAILED info on the ipks.tar file. Redownloading didn\'t solve the problem. But I\'ll give it a shot!

Does this special kernel work with OZ3.3.5?

What command did you use to launch the snes9x? I used \"snes9x -xs 320 -ys 240 -hi -ns /mnt/cf/rom_name.smc\". I tried both SDL but the screen was still falling apart! BTW, what kernel ROM are you using?

After flashing my sl-5600 with the special kernel, I installed the VBA-SDL 1.7 and SNES9X to test the speed. But the display was splited into 4 small screens and totally unplayable. Anybody has an answer to this problem?
