I bought my C1000 at www.pulster.de, and I can recommend especially for EU citizens. No problems, good shipping and very good price. I cannot tell about warranty because my Z is still OK :-)))

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Important Update...

« on: June 21, 2006, 07:29:11 am »

From my POV it looks like pdaX develusers should create team which will work on improving pdaX and sashz should be degraded to kernel hacker/pdaX developer from 'pdaX the only one devel'.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=132153\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

yes, that's exactly the right idea and has been suggested time and time again.

(I'm sure the word meant is downgraded, not degraded (lol) before anyone gets upset by the word Hrw used!)
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=132154\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I would say Sasz should focus on _core_ devel of pdaXrom like new kernel, bootloader, newer glibc, framebuffer, hw devices, main rom devel ... where others could help him (if someone is capable of that low level devel) and fix bugs, compile packages, create feeds, increase usability, create support utilities and so on ... So Sash needn't spent his time to fix everything with all modelz Zauri around.

« on: May 25, 2006, 09:06:26 am »

Oh well, got the Skwarim - doesn't work with the C3100 - funny thing is the light comes on, on the drive, but nothing in the syslog on the C3100 -- like it hasn't seen it at all :-(

Yes can be isssue ... I have Samsung mp3 player YH-J70GS 20 GB. I can see it as USB mass storrage device only if I will use active USB HUB. Without it lsusb shows nothing.

Czech / Bluetooth Na C1000 S Cacko 1.23

« on: May 18, 2006, 04:20:35 am »

Vyzkousel jsem Bluetooth USB dongle MSI Btoes 2.0 fungoval na prvni pokus. Stacilo sparovat dongle s telefonem (pin je 1234) a pak nastavit PPP spojeni pres bluetooth. Zkousel jsem telefony Ericsson R520m a Siemens S75, oba fungovaly na prvni pokus bez problemu. U Siemense je problem, ze telefon zada pri kazdem novem ppp spojeni ze Zaura o pin kod. Zatim nevim, jak to obejit.

BT software pouzivam BlueZ z Cacko archivu.

Jeste jsem uspesne vyzkousel nejakou neznackovou GPS, ale jen po USB kabelu, ne po BT, na to se teprve chystam. Pouzil jsem GPS software qpeGPS.

Mal som podobny problem so SE T610 a Billionton CF card. Co nakoniec na Cacko 1.23 zaberalo iba vzdy vytriet PIN z mobilu a nadviazat trust vzdy pri dialovani.
Je to nejaky bug v Cacko pretoze po migracii na pdaxrom 1.1.0 beta 1 (chystam sa na beta 4 (2.6 kernel rules)) vsetko chodi ako ma.

Dobre vediet ze niekto v nasich oblastiach pouzive C1000! Kde si ju kupoval a kolko ta vysla?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Rott Problem Compiles Fine But....

« on: April 25, 2006, 09:08:40 am »

Still only trying to do blind shot but try use -fpack-struct (never helped me, but they advice to do it), or use __attribute__ ((packed)) at structures. These old dos fps games have problems with ARM porting. I've tried:
dukenukem3d - compiles runs OK but has problem with save/load (corrupted).
descent d1x rebirth - compiles OK but segfault on run.
descent d2x cvs or rebirth - compiles, runs OK till you get hit. Then some memory is overwriten and of course segfault.
I want to try also heretic and hexen, but i am frustrated right now from unsuccesfull attempts. Problem can be ARM signed/unsigned chars and structure alignment. But I am not rael c/c++ programmer to easy solve thous problems.
BTW: Don't you know how our version of gcc handles structure alignment in ARM by default?
[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Well, sorry I'm even less of a c/c++ coder than you. You're way ahead of me as I don't know what a structure alignment is  

Also bummed to hear about Dukenukem, another of my old favorites, I'd love to have that on my Z too. Even though it doesn't Save/load, would you mind posting it somewhere? I'd love o see it run on my Z.

BTW, I did finally get ROTT to compile & run in Ubuntu.

Cheers,
Jerry

I did't know too what is structure alignment .... I searched ... but it didn't help me still to fix problem. I posted duke nukem binaris here [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=18105&hl=duke+nukem]https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...5&hl=duke+nukem[/url]

enjoy

Who will fix save/load problem?

Crap, after all of the find & replacing, no joy: same error

I hope someone smarter than I takes a crack at this, it's a fun game. One of the things I like over doom is the anti-gravity pads that allow you to jump to areas of the map & collect items as you fly through the air

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom Apps And Openzaurus Gpe

« on: April 21, 2006, 02:31:37 am »

I was wondering if pdaxrom apps would run under openzaurus gpe and vice versa?

If my understanding is good, the two roms are running x11, so they sould be able to run the same apps?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=123946\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I would think that you would typically have to recompile pdaXrom apps (and it's dependancies) for OZ's newer kernel. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=123953\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I think that problem is not kernel but newer glibc in OZ

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Compiling Nogravity For Pdaxrom...

« on: April 16, 2006, 07:17:01 am »

Maybe it'll work without

-march=iwmmxt -mcpu=iwmmxt -mtune=iwmmxt

?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=123326\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Yes, I think! I trying build a optimal binary for SL-Cxx00.... I go try without iwmmxt  
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=123330\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

There can be also problem with structure alignment in game code. I was trying to build Descent 1, 2 with compile OK but actual game does not run or crashes with message memory overwrite. Also I have I think same problem with save corruption in Duke3d. There should be some thread to explain and instruct how to port code for ARM processor.

Hungary / Welcome to the ALL NEW HUNGARY ZUG!!

« on: April 04, 2006, 03:53:55 am »

Best way to get it is to order from www.pulster.de or www.trisoft.de. Trisoft is a bit more expensive. BTW I am from Slovakia :-) near Hungary anyway

Hello neighbour ,

What I've been really tempted with is the price of SL-C1000 at GeekStuff4U.com (too bad VAT still has to be paid, and I'm not sure about the toll).
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=121708\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I ordered c1000 from www.pulster.de and price is with VAT (thanks EU) and  shipping priece was not so bad and I got original EA-75 power source (110/220V) which is included only with c3100.

Hungary / Welcome to the ALL NEW HUNGARY ZUG!!

« on: April 03, 2006, 03:17:43 am »

Én három Zaurus-szal kapcsolatos magyar webhelyről tudok:

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

And now pretty much all of them are dead  (I've seen a few Zaurus topics at [a href=\"http://pdamania.hu]http://pdamania.hu[/url] forums, though). Though now that I'm getting my very own SL-5500 hopefully I can stir things up a little... we'll see .

There's still no way to get Zauruses from anywhere here in Hungary, and even if there was, I bet they would be horribly expensive.

User Request for Applications / Can Anyone Compile Atari St Emulator For Cacko?

« on: March 30, 2006, 02:12:08 am »

I tried to compile both hatari and castaway but couldnt get castaway to compile and hatari doesnt run well enough. sorry

tovarish
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=120998\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

hatari runs quite well on pdaxrom (much better than uae). There are unresolved issues with sync mouse but with usb mouse works ok. It shoud not be problem to compile it for cacko.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Dosbox Configuration...frontier

« on: March 25, 2006, 07:06:20 am »

The dosbox IPKs in the pdaXrom feeds are not very usable actually. I would recommand to make a build of the current CVS configured with --disable-debug (I don't see what use it could have to play games)  --disable-fpu / --disable-fpu-x86 may increase speed a lot (since ARM donsn't like floating point at all) and something like dynamic core (configure --help to find the exact flag) is totally useless on XScale CPU, so better disable it and make smaller and faster binaries (you can strip them as well). Then you shall run dosbox -startmapper to remap keys (they are quite messed up by default, no Fn working ... but you can easily rebind everything in the mapper with a nice dos-like GUI !) and it should run Frontier Elite okay.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=120087\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Tried do compile dosbox from cvs but autogen.sh didn't worked and I am too lame to create Makefiles so I tried to compile dosbox0.63. When I compiled without-fpu I got binary which run but on dos screen was flooded with random charcters. When I compiled with-fpu dosbox runs but keyboard in dos window don't work. Please try someone recompile more useable dosbox than we have now. Or it it better to try bochs or qemu?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Help Needed Compiling Gphoto2

« on: March 23, 2006, 07:24:39 am »

Updated post ... please read.
I compiled libreadline in some other project, and from that time I have it on Z :-) and compile with it. Anyway my cam seems working without hotplug files. If you post them I will repackage libreadline2 ipk.

OK, I removed my hotplug stuff and installed your updated libgphoto2 and gphoto2 still works nicely.

It begs the question WTF are the hotplug files for?

-- cheers
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=119923\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I'm glad it works ... I will upload packages to contrib :-)
