1.1.0beta1 Is Out!

[adf]

Sometimes my whole screen goes blank, and then if i hit a key (like shift) it comes up entirely white. Usually I can get it to come up properly by hitting ALT-Tab a few times.

Has anyone else seen this? I didn't have this with RC12, so I thought maybe it was a ROM problem.

If no one else sees it though, then I'll assume I mucked something up myself.

Twice now on my 3100 I have suspended it...and it wouldn't come back.  playing with the little button under the screen did it the trick. Very annoying til I saw the post that mentioned it.

I have beta1 installed on both my old C860 and the C3100 , I have the same suspend problem on the C3100. The C860 is ok. Dont know why, apart from the suspend problem it also seems that pdaXrom is more stable on C860 then on the C3100. I couldnt get Kismet to work on C3100 too even though i configure exactly the same
 as the C860 and using the same Wifi CF card.

I must to say thank you for your great effort on working out this great Xrom.U r the best .
A problem confuse me form R10~Beta 1.My Z is SL-7500C.
My Z cannt be charged by AC/DC adapter,but the orange light is always lighte.
And the machine will use the power from the plugin power,instead of the battery.It means the AC/DC adapter work for the Z.

I wanna know what happen,If there any solution about this.
Or is it something about the hardware inside?

At one point there was talk about a pdaxrom 'lite' version where only the x-environment and config utilities would be included (basically everything but the default applications).

I understand the origional plan for pdaxrom was to compete with other roms and offer equivalent functionality, but the project has advanced so far beyond that I think many users would appreciate more of an operating system install package.  I don't use any of the default apps, or now with KDE available even the window manager.  Although these programs take little storage, having a 'clean' system is appealing.  

Is this still being developed or has it been put to back burner?


Thanks in advance.

you can perhap try the VisualBuilder:

Ok, I tried & can't figure out where to place the swapon -a command in the init scripts on a 3100. Any suggestions? I've tried the pcmcia, and rc.sysinit.

Also, when I boot without a CF card or microdrive, the internal HD get set as hda instead of hdc. Is there anyway to modify the scripts so that they always are hdc, or that the CF is always hdc? That way my swap partition in fstab will be correct. (as a f/u, where the heck are the mount commands for the internal HD? I sure couldn't find them)

Thanks!

I placed mine in /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia. So at the end of "start", I have:

Code: [Select]

cardctl insert 1
sleep 1
mount -t vfat -o noatime /dev/hda3 /mnt/ide3
mount -t ext3 -o noatime /dev/hda5 /mnt/hd
swapon -a
ipkg-link mount /mnt/hd
if [ -f /home/root/zgcc-3.4.5.img ]; then
    if [ ! -d /opt/native/arm/3.4.5-xscale-softvfp ]; then
        mkdir -p /opt/native/arm/3.4.5-xscale-softvfp
    fi
    mount -o loop /home/root/zgcc-3.4.5.img /opt/native/arm/3.4.5-xscale-softvfp
fi
And at the beginning of "stop" I have:

Code: [Select]

mount -d /opt/native/arm/3.4.5-xscale-softvfp
umount /mnt/ide3
umount /mnt/hd
swapoff -a
sleep 2
Season to taste.

Also, when I boot without a CF card or microdrive, the internal HD get set as hda instead of hdc. Is there anyway to modify the scripts so that they always are hdc, or that the CF is always hdc? That way my swap partition in fstab will be correct. (as a f/u, where the heck are the mount commands for the internal HD? I sure couldn't find them)

Take a look at this thread. If my understanding is correct then /etc/pcmcia/ide.opts (if it works properly) should mount the HDD/CF at the correct /mnt points regardless of whether it is /dev/hda or /dev/hdc, because it uses the pcmcia slot position which is always 0 for the CF, and 1 for the microdrive. But sadly as I note in that thread it doesn't work properly (not for me at least).

When you say "at the end of  start" I'm assuming that you mean right before the

Code: [Select]

;; that ends that section. At least that's where I tried to insert the

Code: [Select]

cardctl insert 1
sleep 1
mount -a #to mount my swap partition
swapon -aThat produces a

Code: [Select]

ioctl():Device or resource busy
swapon: /dev/ hdc1: No such deviceburing boot right after Start CF services
grrr

[Meanie]

swapon: /dev/ hdc1: No such device

is that a space between /dev/ and hdc1? that might be your problem, but honestly, you should use swapon /dev/hd${PART}1 instead of relying on /etc/fstab since it isn't dynamic enough, or use sed to 'fix' it on each boot.

Hi,

I have some problems to get wifi working with 1.1.0beta1 and my wifi card Linksys WCF12.
I've tried this but no way  
I had this message before :

Does anyone has the same configuration as mine working ?

Thanks !

WCF12 works out of the box on an 860, if that's any help  

[plcg]

Thanks.

Can you tell me what's in your /etc/pcmcia/config, /etc/pcmcia/hermes.conf and /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf ?
Just the lines about Linksys WCF12 and "device" hostap (beginning of file), of course.  

Thank you  
plcg

[plcg]

I answer to myself :
with hostap driver, be sure to choose "Operation Mode : Managed" in Network Settings.
And then, Linksys WCF12 wifi card works "Out of the box"  

With orinoco driver, it was "Operation Mode : Auto"

[gromituk]

Gladit worked out!  I think the mode was "managed" by default, but I can't be sure.
