C1000/3x00 General discussions / I'm About Five Seconds Away On Buying A New Zaurus

« on: May 11, 2006, 04:14:00 am »

Hmmm. I thought that if I installed xmms I should be able to listen to live streams such as bassdrive.com. And internet tv is just streaming media. Opie Player 2 should be able to handle that, right?

I don't know about opie player 2 but with Kino2 on cacko I'm able to watch internet-tv and can also listen to streaming radio. I tried with xmms on my old SL5500 with OZ/Opie but somehow it was not able to play back live streams. But I don't know if this is fixed in recent OZ/xmms-versions.

C1000/3x00 Hardware / C1000 W/4gb Sd Or A C3x00 Model

« on: May 11, 2006, 04:04:43 am »

I thought that was a software issue that was resolved recently...  it's actually a hardware limitation?
[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

its no hw-limit, it was software, and it's solved. Someone posted an updated driver package with the sd-drivers from the C3200 [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=18523]here[/url] which halso work on a C1000. IIRC in OZ and pdaXrom they are using opensource drivers that also support big cards. I'm happily using a 2GB SD with my C1000.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Pdaxrom 1.1.0beta 4 And New Bootloader

« on: May 10, 2006, 06:46:28 am »

Hi,

I just tried beta 4 on my C1000, but only the first step (C+D+power. green light for ~20 sec.) works. The second step (ON+power, release after 10 sec.) doesn't work, The zaurus wont turn on and no emergency-system is booting. only thing working is C+D+power and diagnostic menu. I did everything exactly as it's written on the page. Any hint what could be the problem?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / Wpa Status On 3.5.4.1beta1

« on: April 11, 2006, 03:50:38 am »

Is WPA working on 3.5.4beta1? I have been trying to make it work without success. Seing that other users have had troubles under 3.5.4 I was wondering if anyone can confirm the WPA status on the latest build (I own a C3200).

I also tried wpa with 3.5.4.1b1 and it didn't work form me, too.

Software / Found Good Comicbook Viewer For C-zaurii

[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=119823\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I just run all rar's/cbr's I get trough a script to repack them to zip, so they work without problems when I load them onto the zaurus..

I have not tried abookreader yet. Still playing with ComicReader occasionally.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=119467\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

I think ComicReader isn't able to read any compressed format (I never got it to read neither zip nor rar). You should really try abookreader, it's able to read at least zip, and its a lot faster (it uses some kind of background-caching for the next image, so you get the next almost immediately if you dont switch the images very fast). For a few infos about the options see my other post in this thread.

cbr/cbz's aren't recognized for me too (they just don't show up in the programs file-view) but normal *.zip files work fine with abookreader (most of my zip's are scanlated Mangas btw). It seems that it can only read zip files, but not rar/any other archive format.
Have you tried to rename the *.cbz to *.zip? AFAIK they are normal zip-files so if they are named *.zip abookreader should be able to read them. Since *.cbr is rar-format, I think its impossible to view them with abookreader. (I allready tried to rename them to *.rar, but they don't show up in abookreader)

Does anyone know what the dependencies are for abookreader? Do you need ruby installed, like the other app?
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=115440\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

No, I looked at the tgz file and found that its written in C++, so ruby/ruby-qte are not needed.

try abookreader, i think it is much better. It has a whole lot of options but it is in japanese. maybe someone who know japanese can help transalate it. i use trial and error to use the proggy effectively

You're right, its much better (and much faster) than comicreader.
So far I found out Scrolling and next/previous page is up/down, and bottom left and bottom right corner of the screen is also scrolling /page switching. In the options, first tab, the first frame (top left) seems to be scaling options, first is whole page, second is scale to width, third scale to height and the fourth "squeezes" the picture into the screen without looking at the aspect. Unfortunalety I also don't speak Japanese so I can't help translating it   . But even with only knowing these few options its better than comicreader  . Thanks for this tip!

<edit>found another usefull option: on the second tab in the options, there is an option which says 200pix, this controls the amount of pixels the prog will scroll for one Keypress/tap, so you can adjust the scrolling speed here</edit>

This is indeed a great little prog in the 860. One question, however: How do I browse back to find files? Once I browsed down to my Family Pictures file I found I could not browse away from it. ??
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=115251\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

If I understand your question correctly, you mean going to the parent directory in the file view? This can be done by moving the cursor to the 2 dots (..) at the begining of the list and pressing Ok. If I got your question wrong dont hesitate to ask again.

it needs ruby and ruby-qte installed (both in the cacko-feed)


I found Ruby in the Cacko feed but got an error when I tried to download ruby-qte. Anyone know what's up?

I installed both form  http://web.mol.ru/~zaurus/feed/ without any problem. Maybe you need to do ipkg update?

Software / Found Good Comicbook Viewer For C-zaurii

« on: January 23, 2006, 03:33:02 pm »

After I tried all known imageviewers on my SL-C1000 to view some Manga/Comics, and none of them was like I wanted it, I searched around the net and stumbled upon this little prog:

ComicReader (japanese site)

It is a very simple viewer for jpeg files, programmed to view comics. It automatically scales the image to fit width and you can use up/down for scrolling and OK for next page (you can also use the touchscreen to scroll/switch pages, google translation should give you an idea if you don't speak Japanese)

I find this prog very good for comic reading in landscape mode, and since I saw some "what imageviewer for comics"-threads around lately I thougt I would share this find...

it needs ruby and ruby-qte installed (both in the cacko-feed)

only drawback so far: its a little slow in loading the images (but qpdf2 which I used for some time wasn't faster, so I dont care)

I hope someone finds this usefull

btw. I forgot to mention, it should run on Sharprom(untested) and Cacko(tested), other Roms not tested so far

PS: If this was mentioned before somewere in the forums please just ignore this, but I didnt see this prog mentioned before

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Usb Ethernet Dongle With Ax88772 Chip

« on: January 10, 2006, 03:14:44 pm »

Thanks for the answer. Unfortunately the modules from Meanie's package don't work. After some research it seems to me that there is no support for this chip in 2.4.x kernels. And I'm not a kernel hacker so I cannot backport the driver from 2.6.13. So for know this thing doesnt work with the Zaurus unless someone backports the driver to 2.4.20 or cacko uses 2.6 Kernel.

I give up for now since I found no info on how to get this driver into 2.4.20 easily, and I can use my WLAN-Card in most places (and where I can't use WLAN, I dont have access to wired LAN so it wouldn't help at all). Just would have been a cool addon feature  ^_^

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Usb Ethernet Dongle With Ax88772 Chip

« on: January 09, 2006, 06:24:18 am »

Hi,

I have my C1000 since 2 days now, and I'm very happy with it. Now I tried to get some hardware working. When I looked through my usb-devices, I found an USB ethernet dongle which uses an ax88772 chip. It works without an problem on my Laptop (running Gentoo with a 2.6.13 kernel) but the Zaurus doesn't recognize it as an Network device. dmesg only says:

Code: [Select]

usb.c. USB device 2 (vend/prod 0xb95/0x7720) is not claimed by any active driver.I tired loading the usbnet driver by hand but did not work, also tired to copy the modules.usbmap line from my laptop to the Zaurus but this didn't help either.

So if anyone has a similar dongle working with Cacko 1.23 / has some tips on how to get this working please let me know.

Thanks in advance
seiichiro
