Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Oz 3.5.3 Gpe-image

« on: April 11, 2005, 08:17:15 pm »

Hi,

I used a Socket wifi card with my SL-5000 when I got the WEP connection
working.  Today, at work, I briefly used my Linksys wifi card to get a
connection (WEP not in use there).  I was actually surprised to see a connection
was established, as I did not change any info in any of the setup tabs, and
it was still set to use WEP, and with my key from home.

I do not remember the details of what I did to setup the eth0 device in
"network setup", but as I remember, I did nothing special, just filled out
the "dialogs", provided my WEP key, etc.

If I remember correctly I saw "managed" today, in the wifi popup, if that
helps.  I can look in detail later, to see what I have specified in all of the
tabs, if you are stuck.  I get the impression you are experiencing issues
due to the wifi card you are using...

Hi,

I've only had a couple hours on it so far, but it is much better
than any previous GPE version I have tried.  I've noticed an
issue, where the calender app is launched when using the
control key on the popop-keyboard.

I will be trying more on it during the week, and look foward to
figuring out how to invoke and try minimo.

I also was able to create an X Window from my main linux box
to the Z (SL-5500) , over a WEP-enabled wireless connection,
so I'm really interested in this relase now

Great work so far,

John

Hi,

I'd love to see the SL-5500 style screenshots and themes mentioned
above.  I've had an SL-5000 for a few months, and I'm now trying out
the 3.5.3 release...

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Openzaurus 3.5.3 Pre-release

« on: April 04, 2005, 11:36:25 pm »

Wow, I tried the 3.5.3 pre-release, and was able to get much
further with it, compared to the .1 and .2 I tried in the past.  I also need to use
a WEP key, but I didn't get that far yet . (will use linksys CF WIFI card)

If the soon-to-be GPE version allows me to use my SL-5500 as an
X server at work, I will be very happy!  I have played with PocketWorkstation
a little, and got that working, but only over USB.

Anyway, great work so far!
