Rc10 Out For Testing..
« on: May 16, 2005, 02:37:22 pm »
Sorry for the very crude release - http://212.10.30.205/rc10/
Feeds are located in the folders - excuse the mess :-)

Update C1000 version is out
.. with USB Host working and pre. gfx accel. Calibration screen is portrait mode. To enable mouse support edit startx and add  "-mouse /dev/input/mouse0" in xserver args. Resizing of partions doesn't work yet.

As always visit our site for banners and donations - new website is almost done and will be "released" soon ;-) We are still working on the latest new stuff for the website - if you look "hard" you will probally find it anyway..

But please, please, please consider donating - we are very low on cash always and we still haven't got a C3000 - althoug we have a C1000 due to kind hardware donation - so expect a C1000 version soon ™ - although hardware accelerated will be a while..

Bugs:
0. DON'T USE THE NAND TOOLS
1. Wireless is not working using the utils

I noted the same, simple work-around until it is fixed is to use the X-virtual keyboard for special characters & Fn keys.

Cheers,

Hi,

On my C700, "Suspend" menu doesn't work anymore.

And although my wifi card (Linksys WCF12) is connected to my router (Inventel DW200), Gaim is unable to connect and Dillo exits when i type "www.google.fr" and then "enter"...

Did i forget something ?
Thanks.

I flashed to pdaX on my 6k briefly.

fn keys don't seem to work at least "=" didn't work. You already knew the keymap was imperfect, though.

The partition resizing is a problem.  there isn't really enough room for a decent installation
on the default partitioning scheme.

I really don't like twm.  reminds of when I screw stuff up on my desktop
that's a quibble, though.

I think I will have to go backup my pocketworkstaion to free up my sd card, put the feed on a cf card and give this another shot.  

keep at it-- I've seen pdaX on a 760, and was really impressed. would love to see equal functionality on my 6k

?!

very strange. I had loaded pdaX over sharp..and got a really basic emergency looking desktop..restored to guylhem rom.... then flashed to pdaX and got a beautiful gui.  I wouldn't have thought that would happen at all. I wonder what my partitions look like...

I need to go figure out the wireless if I can.

It would be nice, though, if the apps obeyed the window manager in portrait rotation. a landscape aterm in a portrait disply isn't really necessary, is it?

really #$$!!!ing nice, guys,
Thanks!
