Best Pdaxrom Set Up?
« on: August 02, 2005, 06:56:45 am »
Hiya,

I know this is all a matter of personal taste, but as someone relatively new to pdaXrom and what it can do, here's the question.

If you had a C1000 how would you set up your pdaXrom, what window managers and so on are best? I'm not too sure what can go on there, but my ideal is something that looks clean and is relatively easy to use.

Also just curious is the final release for the C1000 soon? As I'd rather go with that than have to set up a rom, and then have to set it up again soon.

All and any ideas/suggestions appreciated.

pdaXrom buddy/guru also would be awesome :-)

Matchbox Desktop

Openbox WM

XFCE4-Panel

works like a charm, and looks uber cool, as well (except that you can't change the background for some reason)

have fun!

I just saw some screen shots of the new version of gnome.

Oh that'd be awesome on the zaurus! Would that be possible?

Debian X/qt will allow you to install gnome via the Debian ARM repositories.  Screenshots can be seen at this link [a href=\"http://www.suhami.net/zaurus/index.cgi?PastRecord%2F2005-02]http://www.suhami.net/zaurus/index.cgi?PastRecord%2F2005-02[/url] The only question of how usable it would be (in terms of speed).  I've been using xfce4 on my Z w/ Debian X/Qt. and it is pretty slow.

Simple script:
Code: [Select]
sleep 10
xwd -display :0.0 -root -out /mnt/card/screen.xwdThen convert .xwd to png (gimp will work or copy to desktop for conversion)

I like IceWM a lot. I've themed it to look somewhat like the pdaXrom Matchbox theme. I'll post a screenshot later.

Those are some amazing screenshots, are there any instructions anywhere on how to modify your pdaXrom to be like those?

Are there any plans to use a light version of gnome on pdaXrom? I've only ever used linux with gnome, not that I've used linux much other than on my Z. It's a very clean interface though and as a person with a mac, gnome is pretty nice :-)

I would have thought anaqua theme for  (tweaked) xfce would be closer....

I agree.
I think xfce is the best bet.

you can use it on your desktop -- it's small/fast  ... you can use it inside of
vnc (on the server side) -- since it's small and fast...  and you can use it
on your pda ... well, because it's small and fast.  The best part -- you can
have the exact same set up on all of your systems.

I haven't spent a lot of time using pdaXrom -- for quite some time.
I hope that will change when I get the next release.

I think I'll put up some howtos for setting up different screens, etc.
