What does the card get recognized as when you insert it?

What drivers get loaded after it is recognized? (lsmod)

Have you disabled auto-connect and specifically entered your SSID? Have you tried re-entering your WEP key?

What happens when you try to connect using the network applet?

Dear All,

To all you senior Zaurus users now trying the Cacko3K Rom: Has there been any break through in getting the C3000 device to sync with a WindowsXP host PC using the english version of the software drivers?

So far syncing with this device has been limited to using the drivers and Qtopia version, which came with the distribution CD.

Thanks in anticipation of any response,
Ashu

There are good instructions on the TriSoft website on how to do this.

Small (and possibly stupid) Question!  I have recently installed the C3K, and must thank all who put in hard work to allow us to use it.  I can't seem to get the display correct when I swivel it to tablet mode.  I get unreadable fonts, like '''ii''''') instead of english words!  Funny thing is that all the icons display correctly.  Haven't tried it with a wallpaper yet.

Any help is most appreciated.

Thanks,
Jensen

This works fine for me, did you clear the device after installation as instructed in the readme file ?

Any specific steps to reproduce ?

What does the card get recognized as when you insert it?

What drivers get loaded after it is recognized? (lsmod)

Have you disabled auto-connect and specifically entered your SSID? Have you tried re-entering your WEP key?

What happens when you try to connect using the network applet?

Intially the card is recognised as a 'Z-Com XI300 11Mb/s 802.11b WLAN Card', however I have added the following to wlan-ng.conf so that the card is recognised correctly:

card "Ambicom WL1100 11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card"
  version "Ambicom","WL1100 802.11b CF-Card","2.2"
  bind "prism2_cs"

The card fails to connect whether auto-connect is on or off, with the SSID entered or not and after re-entering the WEP key, several times.

When trying to connect the card activity light illuminates, and the applet says 'Initializing' for about a minute before the card's light goes out and the applet says 'Network Offline'.

I've also tried switching DHCP off on the AP and entering the details manually in the network applet, but all that happens is it connects for about 15-seconds before replying "No Connection detected. Check you WEP Key settings and/or TCP/IP settings."

Any ideas anyone? What has changed in the Cacko ROM's network services compared to the original C3000 Sharp ROM?

I have similar problem and it is easy to reproduce - launch HancomWord, type some text, select it and then set font to "helvetica/14" via "Format" menu.  Any size greater than 12 points gives these funny bars.  Please note that I have "qtopia-cyrillic-fonts-1.0.0" installed.  Of course, device properly zeroed after installation.

If it helps, here is part of the dmesg output, which seems to contain some sort of error:
Prism2 card SN: SN0000000001
linkstatus=CONNECTED
pxa_pcmcia_suspend(0)
hfa384x_docmd_wait: hfa384x_cmd timeout(1), reg=0x8888.

hfa384x_drvr_start: Failed, result=-110
prism2sta_ifstate: hfa384x_drvr_start() failed,result=-110

Any ideas?

Use khctl disable before running Xqt or add it to the startx script (khctl enable to re-enable afterwarrds). This is a known issue with PocketWorkstation/KeyHelper/CyrillicInput. XQT xlibs has some code to handle this but if you run a chroot Debian environment you will run the Debian xlibs. Have also tried to fix by substitution with the XQT version of the libs but have found khctl disable to be the best approach.

OK, I don't have the qtopia-cyrillic-fonts-1.0.0 installed, two things.

i. Are you sure that you have the right (rotated) fonts package installed.

ii. Are you sure that you even need it? This ROM includes all Cacko fonts from 1.22 so the Cyrillic fonts are built into the ROM.

I've come across a bit of a problem with ncurses.

I was trying to use pico as a text editor, because I hate VI. When you run pico on Cacko and try to delete a line (ctrl-k), you get the undefined symbol: __umodsi3 error. Now, the Cacko FAQ suggests two fixes for this.

1) Install ncurses4. Works fine on the 860/1.22, but not on the 3000/Cacko3kb1

So I tried the second, which was:
2) create an /etc/ld.so.preload file containing /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so

Oops.

Now, my 3k isn't finishing resetting yet, so I'm not sure, but apparently that file doesn't exist, which causes any subsequent attempt to run *anything* to fail.

So don't do it.

So, any other options on how to fix that error?

Yes, you're right.  Deinstallation of fonts package fixed this problem.

Hi Andy,

u were right, I didn't reflash the ROM.  Thanks.  Everythings looks swell.  I will be testing with Debian over the weekend.  So that should be some fun!

Thanks,
Jensen
