C1000/3x00 General discussions / New Mplayer

« on: June 07, 2005, 08:41:41 pm »

there is a new mplayer out at http://atty.jp/?Zaurus%2Fmplayer including an update to bvdd

as far as what it updates, i will let google translation speak for itself
Update because it makes the bvdd the SDL correspond is main. The MPlayer itself has not changed almost. As for details please look at renewal past record.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=82829\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

The new Mplayer really good.
I use Windows Media Encoder to convert wmv from avi and wmv from rmvb.
Screen will blur only when movie images move very very fast.
In other condition,video and audio play synchronously.

this is my setting
SLC3000,Sharp 1.11, special kernel v18a, bvdd 0.4.0-1,mplayer-bvdd-iwmmxt 1.1.5-1, zplayer 0.1.0[default setting]
window Media Encoder Setting :
Video:ISO MEPG-4 VideoV1,640x480,500Kbps,20 fps,
Sound:MPEG layer-3 Codec,[56kBit/s,24000Hz,Stereo]
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=83133\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

how big are your files once you convert them? im finding it not worth it transferring a 700mb divx to the z

X/Qt / Low Memory Message! - Debian On C3000

« on: May 31, 2005, 05:23:35 pm »

Hi,

On the whole, got X/Qt/Debian running OK on my lil' C3000....

However, lately, often when doing 'apt-get upgrade' I get a 'Low Memory' warning message window that pops up on the Qtopia side of the Z. Gives me a button that says 'Reboot'....at that point X/Qt/Debian has quit....

I recently reinstalled X/Qt/Debian on my Z to the internal microdrive...

Any suggestions to avoid this problem??

Thanks for any help.

have you tried adding quite a large swap file? I had this setup running up until yesterday, made a 650mb debian loopback partition and a 200mb swap and it was fine. had to do a factory reset yesterday because i broke something when installing new tetsu kernel, not related to debian.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / A Kernel With Everything

« on: May 31, 2005, 05:24:54 am »

I'll post the kernel and modules tonight (gotta run to get ready for my Superbowl party).

Okay, the Superbowl is over (and was fun to watch!). I've uploaded the kernel and a gzipped tar of the modules to:

ftp://www.rtgx.com/pub/c3000-bigkernel. There are three files:

zImage (the kernel)
updater.sh (the script that installs a new kernel -- it's in Japanese)
2.4.20.modules.tar.gz

For instructions on how to install a new kernel, please go to: http://www.steyla.com/zaurus/kernel.php3.

This great site has easy to follow instructions on how to compile and install your own kernel. To install the modules, download the tar file, unzip it and unpack it in the root of hdd2:

wget ftp://www.rtgx.com/pub/c3000-bigkernel/2.4.20.modules.tar.gz
cd /hdd2
gunzip 2.4.20.modules.tar.gz
tar -xvf 2.4.20.modules.tar.gz

This will create a modules directory under /hdd2. Now, we need to change a symlink to point to this directory (rather than the directory in /home/root/modules).

cd /home/root
mv modules modules.orig
ln -s /hdd2/modules modules

Now to check that everything works, list the contents of /lib/modules

ls /lib/modules/

You should see one entry:

2.4.20

Now I've included all the patches from tetsu.homelinux.org. The only feature that that site that might not work is the overclocking (I'm not sure that the overclocking patch took). If someone could test that out (check out this thread for details) that would be great.

Hey gjarboni,

the patching that you've done is it the same as tetsu's v18a kernel for c3000 ?

Mac Issues / Osx And C1000

« on: May 24, 2005, 09:06:51 pm »

Hello all,

I'm about to get my hands on a c1000, and I was wondering if anyone can suggest the best option for syncing my iCal (OSX.4) with several calendars, to the c1000, running whatever ROM (don't really mind as long as it syncs has have half decent PIMs).

Thanks
A
[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

did a write up on how to sync to osx with the c3000, it is the same for the c1000...

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Please Help! My C1000 Is Bricked!

« on: May 24, 2005, 08:59:01 pm »

I had a similar prob, i was in terminal and out of habbit, i typed halt in the prompt.... bad idea!

didnt use the Z for the day, and went to use it the next night, and it was dead... wouldnt powerup, no charge light nothing....

so i removed the battery, pressed reset... still nothing, so out of desparation.... discovered that it had powered up and drained the battery ...

to get it back up.... i just had to leave it charged for a  couple of hours, before it was able to boot again.... seems it needs a minimum amount of charge at all times..

later discovered a prob, it just wouldn't suspend! everything i tried pressed the off button, it would intantly power up again... that's what drained the battery... the prob was the suspend-resume.ipk... it wouldnt let it go to sleep... removed that and all is good again...

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Non 2.4.20 Kernel Modules

« on: May 19, 2005, 02:43:42 am »

wondering if anyone has been able to compile ax8817x.o for the z3000? ...

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=80191\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

This largely depends upon the Kernel features that the driver is dependent upon.

Typically what you would need to do if the driver is available as a patch is apply the patch to a kernel source tree. Correct all the .rej files where the patch didn't apply (manually) this would normally add the build options too. Then build the modules.

If you are talking about something thats in the stock 2.4.22 Kernel then you need to identify all source files that relate to that driver, copy them into the 2.4.20 source and add the build options both to the Makefiles and the config options.

Either way, if you succeed in doing this the next polite thing to do is diff the source tree against an original to make a 2.4.20 patch for that driver so that all communities writing Kernels for the Z can benefit.

Thanks Andy, its what I thought... unfortunately i am lacking the free time needed to do this fun little hack, so my need to get on the network outweighed this.... so I took it back and got a new usb ethernet card using the realtek rtl1850-l chipset... works a treat!
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=80289\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

just wanted to bump the argument,. since I have a USB card that requires the ax8817x.o module - can anyone point me out to a quick way of compiling it for my C3000? can it be compiled straight on the Z, if so, what is the best way of doing so? thanks!
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=80367\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

as it was stated you would have to:

"If you are talking about something thats in the stock 2.4.22 Kernel then you need to identify all source files that relate to that driver, copy them into the 2.4.20 source and add the build options both to the Makefiles and the config options."

Its best to set up the development environment on a separate linux box, grab the c3000 2.4.20 kernel and the linux 2.4.22 kernel... then add the ax8817x code and backage from 2.4.22 to 2.4.20 and make modules as normal.

Some guides on the net on how to compile and add different kernel modules to older kernels in general linux kernel compiling can be of help.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Problem - Irda With Ericsson R520

« on: May 18, 2005, 01:46:32 am »

I wish to adjust GPRS through Ericsson R520
Does not work or works very badly!

People advise to make here so:

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/irda/max_tx_window
echo 1000 > /proc/sys/net/irda/min_tx_turn_time

But max_tx_window not present in RC9

I found that the z doesn't like the way my sony ericsson does infrared, so i got a bluetooth card and it works perfectly.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Non 2.4.20 Kernel Modules

« on: May 18, 2005, 01:04:12 am »

wondering if anyone has been able to compile ax8817x.o for the z3000?

it seems my new usb ethernet card works only with the above module...

ive set up a development environment on a linux box.... got the c3000 kernel source (2.4.20)

problem is, this module was only added from 2.4.22 onwards....

so how would one go about getting this working on the z? can it handle non 2.4.20 modules and how do you compile 2.4.22 (straight from kernel.org) for arm?

there are many usb ethernet cards that use this chipset, would help a lot of people if we get this going

General Discussion / The Ultimate Zaurus Software: Picsel Browser

« on: May 14, 2005, 12:44:33 am »

I downloaded the above mentioned ipk and played around with it.  From what I could tell, the program searches for license information in a particular file (license.pli, I think) on the card.  I would guess that with this ipk installed and an SD card with a legitimate license file, it would work.  Obviously, I haven't tried this because I don't own the program.

Also, it may be possible to change the location that the program looks for said license file with a hex editor to somewhere off the card.  You would still need to own a valid license to use it though.

It would be interesting to know if this worked, but I'm not willing to spend that much money for Picsel to find out.  I liked it when I had a clie, but it came free :-).

Don't expect Sharp or Picsel to allow you to move it because that would allow someone to easily distribute pirate copies.

Dave.

Check out the feed at viperinz.sf.net/feed - it has both tun and ipsec for the stock C3000 kernel.

Btw. I just released the first alpha of  Viperin-Z which is a GUI for managing vpnc connections - comments are welcome!

will upgrading to this kernel break the new bluez alpha 4 modules made by tumnus?

is this worth the upgrade compared to sharp v1.11 rom?
