What are the latest test images?

I tried with the ones posted up here earlier, but it seemed that matchbox-desktop segfaulted all the time, so the furthest I could get into X was a panel and a clock. Still the barded background.

To get the internet working, run these commands.

On the Zaurus:
ifconfig usbd0 10.10.10.2
route add default gw 10.10.10.1
echo nameserver 192.168.1.1 > /etc/resolv.conf

On the PC [as root]:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
ifconfig usb0 10.10.10.1
iptables --flush
iptables --table nat --append POSTROUTING --out-interface eth0 -j MASQUERADE
iptables --append FORWARD --in-interface usb0 -j ACCEPT

This assumes that your PC is connected to the world via eth0, and your nameserver is at 192.168.1.1.  This will let the Zaurus access your PC as 10.10.10.1, and the PC get to the Zaurus as 10.10.10.2.  Go ahead and play around if this doesn't work.  Note that you have to redo the PC-side ifconfig line each time you detach/reattach the Zaurus, or you can have Hotplug do it for you.

Has anybody got this into a 3000 yet? Should it just work or will it need some tinkering?

I got the dual boot to work according to the instructions in this forum - Cacko wouldn't boot anymore but I didn't want to go back after trying pdaXrom . Unfortunately, there there were too many showstoppers for me to stick with it. I'd love to try it again.

I've pinpointed the nature of a few bugs that kept popping up for me:

First, ipkg thinks that X.10.Y is a lower version than X.9.Y, and will "upgrade" to the lower version.

Second, naming a package that does not exist in ipkg install will cause it to try to download "__.ipkg", which of course fails.

Third, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH do not include adequate entries for installing packages to alternate destinations.  I needed to edit /etc/profile to get /mnt/user/local/bin to be searched.

Fourth, the graphical package manager (qpkg) will only install to /, /mnt/user, and removable media.  If I want /mnt/hdd3 to be a destination, I have to remove /mnt/user and link it to /mnt/hdd3.

Installing aticore totally borks the SL-C3100.  X will not start after installing it.

vim is broken.  It just plain doesn't work right.  Nano is admirable, however.

For some reason, you guys didn't include libfuse.a (only the shared object file) -- this means I have to build my own fuse to make encfs.  Please try to make these releases a little more developer-friendly...  Like making gcc install in a normal place or at least add itself to LD_LIBRARY_PATH...

Could you pretty pretty please add a working xstroke semi-integrated into the environment?  xvkbd leaves much to be desired.

Did you notice that having xfree430 installed in / doesn't matter if you install a package with a dep into /mnt/user?  It'll just go ahead and give you a second X in /mnt/user.  This ipkg is really terrible.  Honestly.

Anyhow, despite all the criticism, things are working pretty well.  This blows away the Sharp ROM in both functionality and responsiveness.

If anyone cares, screen works perfectly if you build your own make.  I highly recommend it - you'll get more done.

to install an application on /mnt/hdd3 you have first to format it as ext3, so by default it is not possible, you have to tweak to add a destination to install in ipkg, it is not really difficult, search the forum

If you have a C1000/3000/3100 it is also normal that a driver for a hardware that is not present in the machine will break all the install

I already formatted hdd3 as ext3, and I already added a destination to /etc/ipkg.conf.  I can do "ipkg -d hdd install whatever", but qpkg does not present hdd as an option.  It's a bug.

USB mouse doesn't work out of the box, you must change serverargs in startx as before. When using the mouse, the screen orientation switches to portrait as before as well.

I found a bug in the package manager when using the USB mouse. When I launch the package manager, the mouse freezes.

[div align=\"right\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

Installed RC11 on C1000.  I got a USB mouse to run but with some issues.

I followed Laze's instruction in the very first post of [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=12631]https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=12631[/url] : "To enable mouse support edit startx and add "-mouse /dev/input/mouse0" in xserver args "

Yet I opened startx but couldn't see any line with "xserver args"

But I did find "serverargs". After editing it accordingly, startx and matchbox was loaded successfully.

However the screen was in portrait mode. Rotate it and it was upside down.

So could someone tell me if I edited startx wrongly or I missed something?
Thanks!

After all, I found the usb mouse cursor very responsive, much better than my experience in Sharp/Cacko ROM.

Please keep up the good work. It's just too good to be true to have X run natively on Z!

More results of using usb mouse:

-- mouse scrolliing does not work

-- lost stylus pointer whenever -mouse /dev/input/mouse0 is added to serverargs in startx  (same as previous reports)

-- device freezes in Package manager (same as previous reports)

Cheers.

Your patched bootloader works on the C3100!

I Used this image to patch the bootloader, repartion and install pdaXrom successfully on my SL-C3100.

I will play with it and report back.

the easyest way i think is to ask sash the files directly
or if you dont have time to wait, you have to mount the initrd.bin on a blockdevice as a jffs2 filesystem and copy the files from there
