Rc10.4 For Sl-c1000

[Laze]

The website is being update as we speak - some parts of it has already been fixer but at the same time we are working on a new site - but we can't seem to find the right CMS.

[Quickfry]

I think something should be done about the lack of support for wifi cards out of the box. I don't know how OpenZaurus does it, but I'm gonna find out.

[badog]

when we install some packages to /mnt/user. and  reboot SL-C1000 will lose many package in /mnt/user! sometimes OS is crash!
why?so untable for rc10.1 and rc10.4.....

Hi All,

I am still a little unsure here if the new RC10.4 - the latest one for Z C1000 - is OK to put on my C860?

Phill

Edit-
......and for that matter, if there is any benefit to updating to it.

The right hand shift key doesn't seem to work

You can fix the right-hand shift not working by modifying /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/kernel.map:

Instead of
  keycode 103 = Shift

Change the keycode to 112:

  keycode 112 = Shift

103 is actually the '.' key, maybe just a typo...?

This is probably only good for the C1k and C3k.

EDIT: fixed the location of the kernel.map file -- thanks scheck.r!

I don't have the file /etc/sysconfig/kernel.map  

I am running a c1000 with kathrinrc10.4

Any ideas?

try enabling hidden files... or just do

"SciTE /etc/sysconfig/kernel.map"

i'll try it later

The kernel.map file is located in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/kernel.map

Open the file with SciTE or just click on it under ROX filemanager
make the changes jh said

Instead of
keycode 103 = Shift

Change the keycode to 112:

keycode 112 = Shift

Save the file
close SciTE
exit X
startX from the console

and it works

Thanks jh

The kernel.map file is located in /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/kernel.map

Ah, yes, that's where it is!  Thanks -- I've updated my original post with the correct path.

I have problems with the CF Interface: my SMC2642W EZ Connect wireless card doesn't work, and it's confused with either a normal memory flash card or a SANDISK Wireless card. With RC10.1 I had an stable network connection.

I also tried modifying the /etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf and /etc/pcmcia/conf files. I just gave up, and I'll  wait for the next release without network connection. I notice the CF interface wasn't very stable, I had a lot of hang-up but without any pattern, I mean I can't report when the bug happens.

I have to say I tried other ROMs and I just don't like them after using pdaXrom.

Thanks.  I got as far as opening the kernel.map file in SciTE and there are only two keycodes listed.

keycode 89 = Alt
keycode 88 = Control

I added 'keycode 112 = Shift' and tried to save the file but it would not let me save it under the current name.  If there is a trick for this, maybe a chmod?, please let me know.

That doesn't sound like the correct keymap... mine is:

Code: [Select]

# cat /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/kernel.map
keycode 65 = Tab
        alt     keycode 65 = Caps_Lock
        shift   keycode 65 = Caps_Lock
        control keycode 65 = Caps_Lock
keycode 27 = Shift
keycode 30 = Alt
keycode 88 = Control
keycode 89 = Alt
keycode 90 = nul
keycode 40 = nul
keycode 121 = nul
keycode 122 = nul
keycode 112 = Shift
The permissions:

Code: [Select]

-rw-r--r--    1 root     root          273 Aug  8 19:44 /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/kernel.map
If you're logged in as root you should be able to edit that file.

The date on my kernel. map file is  Jan 1 1970 and the permissions are as you listed.  I am also logged in as root.

Can I copy the current kernel.map, edit it (with the keycodes you have listed), and save it as kernel1.map then delete the kernel.map and replace with the modified kernel1.map and rename the file back to kernel.map.

Sure, give it a shot.  

The other thing to check is that the keys work when you're not in X... there's another layer of indirection added with the .xmodmap files.  First thing is to get it going with the kernel map.

Also, the command to load a keymap is 'loadkeys <map-file>" so you could actually just create a kernel1.map file from my example and use the above command to load it.

Has anyone gotten the USB networking to work with RC10.4?

I tried the same method as RC10 by using modprobe to load acm, hid, and pxa27x_bi but when I connected my USB cable the system locked up.

No USB0 device was created either.

My windows box did not recognize the Zaurus as the NDIS device and had USB Mass Storage instead.

(yes my Zaurus USB device is set to network, address 192.168.128.201)
