Pdaxrom: The Best Of Both Worlds?

you can also use rox for desktop.

just call aterm or xterm etc. and type the following:

"rox -pinboard=(type here a name you want... i.e. MYPINBOARD)"

then have a look for the processes (use "ps" in aterm or xterm). you should find then a process called matchbox-desktop (or was it mb-desktop?). look what pid number it has and then type in console: "kill PID" where PID is the PID number of the matchbox desktop... and then the rox desktop should appear with a blank desktop and a folder "home". if you open home or the rox filer you can put any icon you want on the desktop.

EDIT:
does someone know where to find stardict?

[scheck.r]

Stardict 2.4.4 is in the unstable feed, I have it running on rc11, not a lot of testing though.

So go to unstable feed

for multimedia on C1000/3100- please wait new rc , wich will soon  there will updated stuff for mplayer/vlc/sdl with native overlay support and iwmmxt optimization.

Fantastic! Of course, now I don't know if I should flash to rc11 or wait  

[Laze]

Flash god dammit! Flash! :-)

I can confirm that Sashz latest optimizations kick a*** - even on my C760 it awesome!

[willgan]

wow.... i can't wait for the new RC...

[Laze]

Ohhh can't stop drooling - Sash got Quake 2 running very very fluid in 320x240 with 11-12 fps with sound and network running - played Quake 2 this morning on network. It runs (feels) faster than Quake 1 on my PSP :-)

It even runs in 640x480 - not as smooth but still runs and very impressive to show people - it runs 4.8 fps in 640x480 with no sound - this is with early optimizations from Sashz - he is currently looking into more tweaks...

At the same time he is working on making the same tweaks for SDL, mesaGL, VLC, mplayer etc.

Might be flogging a dead horse here, but are there any plans to try and get OpenOffice compiled to run with RC11? I know others have been trying, most noteably Chero, but there are still problems getting it to install/run on pdaXrom as a result of the debian-arm port being built to run with glibc 2.3.x rather than 2.2.x. Is there a chance that this is something that will be looked at?

What's the purpose to release a new flash image if the latest one was just released a couple of weeks ago? You are not making any major library changes which would require to recompile alot of executables, are you?

If it's just a matter of upgrading SDL libs and a few dependant applications, why not release it as an unpgrade in form of ipk's? That way it would make it alot easier for people who just upgraded to rc11... Just my $.02.

And there's source code of rc11 build? Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see it was released along the binaries?

please...on the next update....
will sdl Xrandrand mplayer scale on the 6000?

the new mplayer is nice... no fbdev ugliness.... but since I can't seem to go to qvga mode (is it just me...did I miss something? if so please explain) movies and games run in 1/4 of my screen.

Openoffice is a big piece of work and has many problems because of java related stuff etc.

Depending on changes there will also be updated ipks - but the RCs are what they are and often the next once contains updates for different things - we often just a complete roll of all thing.

We are looking into the sl-6000

correct, but if we'd have a version of glibc >=2.3.2 (libc6) then we'd be able to use the available arm-port (see other thread). It really is the only missing link.
There is a version of glibc 2.3.2 available through this thread, but it has an incomplete libpthread.

Is it a big task for sashz to get glibc 2.3.2 working ? (Just for those who want to experiment ?) Please ?

Chero.

[ScottYelich]

laze, I'm lost... flash flash flash what? rc11? or wait for new rc12?
how many rcs before an r?  is this still 1.1.0 rc? or are we at 1.2?

is there a feed? where do we go to see the official latest release, sdk,
livecd, etc?

I think I have a broken rc10 on my 760 ... should I go rc11? or is
there an rc12 or an r coming?  new website?   bueler?  bueler?

Flash to RC11 thats the latest and stable - look at the pinned thread and i think zumi also updated the pdaxrom.org site - the new website will have the new features like the developer feed where people can upload ipks etc. - so far the CMS system is up and running kinda :-)

Pretty Please. It can't possibly be that big a piece of work surely, as it works fine with pocket workstation/debian on X/QT.
