Hi.

I also made a mirror here. [a href=\"http://naismith.sakura.ne.jp/rom/pdaxrom/]WanderingZaurusWik/rom[/url]

I will try install  pdaX tonight.  

Thanks for ThC.

Very nice! This is working MUCH better than dual-boot.

I had to make a few changes to get mine working well. I changed /etc/pcmcia/network so it wouldn't suspend my hard drive along with my WiFi card. This is mentioned in previous threads but I think it would be helpful to have it in this thread. Just change these lines:

Code: [Select]

       /sbin/cardctl resume
...
        /sbin/cardctl suspendso they look like this:

Code: [Select]

       /sbin/cardctl resume 0
...
        /sbin/cardctl suspend 0I also switched to hostap for my AmbiCom WL1100C WiFi card because the orinoco driver was randomly dropping my connection during heavy use. It is working VERY well now.

I'm still working on getting my Audiovox RTM-8000 GPRS working. I haven't had much luck in any ROM yet.

Thanks for all the work guys! Best Christmas present I got!

Sorry for taking so long to reply. I've got WAY too many projects I'm working on.

First, you'll need to get the drivers here because they aren't included in the version of rc12 we're using. Extract that file into your root directory. The hostap files will end up in /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/. Unfortunately, the system won't find them there. I added symlinks to the files in /lib/modules/2.4.20/pcmcia/.

Code: [Select]

ln -s /lib/modules/2.4.20/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/hostap* /lib/modules/2.4.20/pcmcia/(The command above should all be on one line)

Next, you'll need to edit /etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf. Change the first three lines to look llike this:

Code: [Select]

device "hostap_cs"
  class "hermes"
  module "hostap", "hostap_cs"You'll also need to find your card description further down in the file and change

Code: [Select]

 bind "orinoco_cs" to

Code: [Select]

 bind "hostap_cs"
Make sure you restart your PCMCIA services

Code: [Select]

/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restartand insert your card.

That should do it for you. I don't think I've forgotten anything.

Hi,

I finally test pdaXrom with my c3000, it really feels like running linux  Thank you guys.

I've wrote a small, quick&dirty fix script for some of the known bugs:

Hi,

Thanks for your suport and resolving these bugs

I'm now working on the next beta which will be based on 1.1.0beta1 (unless another version comes out in the meantime) and thinking about some improvements and would like haveing your comments on suggestions to make it even better.

I'm currently thinking about adding an HDD utilities menu in the updater so you would be able to repartition hdd during install (btw it would be limited to a few templates to stay compatible with scripts and config) and use the whole flash available for / (not haveing /home on a different partition and haveing 9Mb mounted rw for / )

now waiting for comments and suggestions

[chrisluu]

Hello,
I tried out PdaXrom for the first time when you released your first Beta, and I must say I'm very impressed. Here's my contribution of more of a "Feature" than a "Bug Fix":

You can edit /usr/bin/cpuoverclock.py to include lower frequencies so that you can underclock to conserve power (I do this when I'm just reading eBooks or something).

Edit lines 39 - 41 (under if CPU == "PXA270":)

Code: [Select]

FREQ_TAB  = ["104", "208", "312", "416", "520", "624"]
CCCR_TAB  = ["2000204", "2000206", "2000208", "2000210", "2000214", "2000218"]
VCORE_TAB = ["04", "06", "08", "0a", "0c", "0e"]
Also I'm having this problem where Fn 2 (+) or xrandr -s 1 just gives me a white screen, thus making 320x240 mode impossible for SDL. "mplayer -vo bvdd -vm" however appears to go to 320x240 and then displays correctly, so maybe there's a problem with SDL, however, I found this thread:

https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...hl=white+screen

I do some coding in Linux and I also am pretty familiar with some Cross Compiling for ARM systems and such, so I may be able to help out once I get myself set up and familiar with the Z.

[Mongus]

I think a HD repartition option is a great idea! Something went wrong with my install so I had to reinstall everything  . Before I did I repartitioned to give hdd2 about 1.5GB because I ran out of space while installing ipks last time.

We need an /opt symlink for many ipks to install. I just created an /hdd2/opt and pointed /opt at it.

The vim 6.4 ipk I found in another thread would be really nice to add to the install because the busybox vi is nearly unusable. The real grep would be great too. I don't understand how anybody can get by without less.  

I'm more than happy to help resolve bugs. You've made it MUCH more usable for me! I just wish I had less work so I had more time to play with my Z.

Well seeings as I have yet to flash my C3000 I have what is probably
a stupid question, but since my grandmother said the only stupid question
is the unasked question.......


1. If I flash my C3000 with this rom, do I lost all my data and other installed
programs?

2. If the programs/data is still there will they run or do I need to find different
versions?


Thanks

[ThC]

you'll lose most of your data (at the moment, everything but hdd3 is formated by the install process...)
you'll also have to find other versions of your applications as pdaXrom is not compatible with Qtopia applications.

xrandr problem just fixed, thanks cristluu for pointing me out the thread I've recompiled the kernel and it now works ...
The updated tools.tar containing the updated kernel can now be found here
Have fun
