Do you experience problems with your stylus?
Like when you touch the screen the mouse goes crazy running very close to where it's supposed to be but sometimes even opening other apps by accident?

Is this normal?

Damn it! I keep getting the errors anyways. I download the supertux from the feed and installed it to / and it says error while loadingshared libraries: libSDL_image-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory! sad.gif(((

unlike gtk, sdl-image is not installed when you flash.
So this one is "normal" .

install sdl-image_xxx.ipk (and also sdl-mixer)

(if your Z is connected to the internet, the package manager download the package and its dependencies, if they are correctly described in the ipk that is)

Thanks! This SOLVED the problem of not loading it.
But now that it loads it freezes and crashes on the Zaurus ? Known problem?
I wanted that game lots because it's like Mario and mario is one of my favorite classics.

Also wanted to experiment with fluxbox to get more of a real linux feel.
How do I make it run? I need to exit .xinitrc? Where is the file so I could edit it?
Maybe there is some kind of faq for this but all I found was for openzaurus so far.

WOW! I feel so stupid. Now that I downloaded RC12 Everything works excellent!!!!
Sorry  Thanks so much for so much help and the quick responses!

P.S. is there a command to recalibrate the stylus?

you install from or to your sd card?
Is you sd formatted in fat ext2 ext3 ?

Perhaps you install application from an old feed?

generally you should use what's available at this url:

http://mail.pdaxrom.org/rc12/Zaurus-7x0-860/

(the feed url is http://mail.pdaxrom.org/rc12/Zaurus-7x0-860/feed)

Did you remove something?

The SD card was not formated. I am not used to this system yet so don;t understand how everything works. I basically connected Zaurus to PC via USB, threw in the ipk files into the SD and disconnected. After this I used the gui package manager and it installed everything. I selected to find package and it installed it into "/" as it said.

Thank, any relavent comments would be great

Hello to all. I guess I am a newb to this.
I just got my C860 ($350) and ofcourse installed pdaXrom right away.
Anyways everything was fine right up until I tried installing any app.
I run package manager and install the app from my sd.
When I try to run the app it asks me for a libgtk file? I don't understand why?
Where can I get one? Do I have to get a dif. one for every file?
Anyone have problems with this?
