Rc10 Out For Testing..

[hbo]

Thanks for the corrections! I've updated the text accordingly. I also removed the 'modprobe prism2_usb' step. A subsequent reboot showed that it wasn't needed.

hey laze --

you said replacement (new) ipks to fix the fn key thing -- does that mean that they
are up? or are you going to post with their names and when they are up, etc.

After I got pdaXrom installed on top of a single flash partition, my problems with the FN key went away. I'm sure that a corrected .xmodmaprc is dropped into ~root if the installer doesn't run out of room first. Try NAND flashing the guylhem ROM, then updating to pdaXrom. That will repartition your flash so pdaXrom can install correctly. Be sure to do a NAND backup beforehand so you can return to the standard ROM!

laze: how do you get the pipe (vertical bar) symbol? Other ROMs map this either to shift-space or fn-space.

And it seems as though the NAND tools really need to work for the 6K!

It's working under X11 (fn-space = |), just not on the text console.

pdaXrom newbie tip (for those who, like me, do NOT rtfm.)

In X11, the calendar button is the control key.

Hey everybody.. so for the slow response time.. Glad to see you figured out the wireless stuff yourself :-) I was going to post it.

Current big bugs:
1. There is a flash/ram size problem with the Sl6000 - sometimes it can be fixed be resizing or nand flashing roms like guyhelm rom etc.

2. The files to fix the FN input bugs and more on the clamshell models are still not online due to extreme downloads from russia - please be patient for some a while.. I will post when you should do a update.

quick comment

using guylhem rom seems pretty repeatable. I've done it twice (kdebase, kbepim and kde libs so NOT fit on internal   )

Another issue.

If you don't "wake up" your Zaurus before taking it off the cradle, the idle timer is still active, and if you are over the idle time for your battery configuration, it will immediately go into suspend.

Solution for now:
Tap the screen or hit a key on the Z to wake it up right before you pick it up.

Long term solution:
Zero out the idle timer when it goes from AC->Battery mode, maybe?

[Laze]

Gondola - we will look into it.

SL6000 problems will be checked tomorrow for better testing :-) Basically the SL6000 seems more unstable than we tought..

The clamshell related problems should be fixed - from a clean console/bash (no window manager running) do a ipkg update and then a ipkg upgrade. Make sure you have it setup you ipkg feed to the new location(http://212.10.30.205/rc10/Zaurus-7x0-860/feed/) and you have a working internet connection when doing the upgrade.

Can anyone confirm the samba network problems reported earlier?

Also the problems with suspending from menu - anyone still having this?

Regarding some of the comments about programs starting in too big sizes.. There is no good work around this at the moment. Although i had thought about changing all the programs so they are called with the geometry parameteres of the current screen. That way almost all programs would start maximized - any better ideas etc?

Nice to see so many liking our rom and making complete downloads of our feeds but please consider donating or at least looking at the banners on pdaxrom.org site.

on opening apps.. if you do this, will there be a pager?  3-4 fullscreen apps on top of each other w/ no way to shuffle between 'em would be pretty frustrating.  Then again, maybe there is an obvious thing that I've overlooked

Alt + Tab will toggle between open apps. You can also install an alternate WM like fvwm and create a pager  Also you can open apps on seperate desktops and Ctrl+Alt+ right or left arrow will move you between them.
Cheers,

I donated right after I got wireless working.  

Does the 'Donat-o-Meter' ever change?

[Laze]

Yes... Will updated it now - btw. the files updated for the corgi fix is the matchbox-pdaxrom* file.

you can add the task manager applet to the panel. (via right click on the bar or via the menu)

both good solutions. thanks

incidentally.. after flashing fro guylhem-rom, because it only makes one (2 really, but one is the loader stuff) partition there is no mtblck3 and hence nothing at /home.  I guess no surprise there, just thought i'd mention it

This is crazy  

After a quick install on my C750 the mouse cursor behaves rather nervous. For instance, I wasn't able to select anything from a dropdown list by tapping and holding the stylus on the scrollbar. The effect was that the mouse cursor jumped all around the position pointed.

I reinstalled RC9 and everything is OK again. Am I the only one having this problem?  
If so, I will have to retry I guess (maybe I will anyway).
