Some notes:
-- Need to install pcre to get Konqueror to run;
-- Konqueror run quite fast (compared to Firefox), but seems not to be able to take my own unicode TTF.
-- Knotes, KOrganizer, etc, complain about missing libqui.so.1 and cannot be launched.
-- Fn key does not work (even though it is mapped in xmodmap.corgi

Some screenshots:

(1) Loading for the first time (set as the default WM and run directly from the console), with great expectations and excitement!

(2) Oops... WOE is this Crash Handler? (but gone once configured the desktop).

(3) First things first. Tune the desktop a little bit now. The setup screens themselves are already quite some eye candies.

(4) KDE desktop in the initial state. Looks cool even without much decoration and tweaking.

(5) Test run #1: AbiWord ... [OK]

(6) Test run #2: Konqueror ... [OK] (need pcre package; load in about 1 minute, but smooth afterwards; doesn't seem to like my unicode TTF fonts?)

Sorry I previouly put up a wrong gif. Now corrected with the desired animated one.

So would Laze and other kindheaterd people please compile a kernel-modules-and-util-squashfs for Cxk (2.4.20), so that everyone can run (or just try) this ultimate giant killer on pdaX?

I'm having trouble resolving shiroikuma.com - could someone post the IP address please?

EDIT: Sorry, I missed ScottYelich's mirror - thanks very much for this. Still can't resolve the original links though

PS MONVMENTVM - you can remove the label telling you how to rotate the screen on your Z, you know

Install libqui from the feed, they all work fine.

Thanks again. It's working now.

Hello,

This is exciting!

Does anyone else run out of installable memory on a C1000 to the point where they can't install anything after they've copied the squashfs file?

Knowing me, I'm doing something simple, wrong.

Does KOrganizer load faster than KO-PI using matchbox ?

..not for me on 860! From a 40x Lexar SD Card it loads in approx 15 secs.
You probably didn't have pcre and Konqueror was struggling...

Ant

P.S. I have also 64 MB swap

Oh, really? I did have the pcre_5.0_armv5tel.ipk package installed but it still takes such a long time to load. Or did I miss something here? I also have 64MB swap on SD.
Konqueror just has a central place in KDE, it would be wonderful it can run that fast ...

Frankly, KOrganizer and other KDE PIM stuff are loading rather slowly in my case. Still wondering why...
Also the Fn key cannot function as Mode_switch, which may be a stopper for many (including me, maybe )

FYI I formatted without user partition: only 121mb root.

Till now it looks promising...

Ant

ZDevil · « **Reply #29 on:** January 03, 2006, 02:14:58 pm »

Same here. I flashed 1.1.0 with 121MB root partition.
Ant, could you tell me if there's any trick to make Konqueror run faster? Thanks!

[Update: Found a solution to perhaps a non-question. I installed both pcre3_3.4-1.1_armv5tel.ipk and pcre_5.0_armv5tel.ipk. Removing the former and Konqueror loads faster within 30 seconds (close to about 15, right?) Or am I mistaken? ]

[Update 2: After trying a few times Konqueror recognizes my TTF. But I read from the official site FAQ that the browser will spend a lot of time reading TTF fonts and it is recommended to use qpf instead. But this may not apply to pdaX, which uses TTF generally.
http://www.konqueror.org/embedded/
Then I tried the Configuring Konqueror > Performance > Preloading and checked "Preload an instance after KDE startup" . It then reduced the startup time to about 16 seconds.]

KOrganizer loads in around 1 minute 30 seconds. And it always loads together with the KOrganizer Reminder Client, which I guess may slow down things a bit. I tested again by closing KOrganizer and restarted it with the Reminder Client still opened, and it took 1 minute.

Found another issue:
The last line, umount /use/lib/kde/bin/startkde , in startkde fails to execute. Upon logging out a KDE session and returning to the console, it reads device is busy and so /use/lib/kde/kde3.5 cannot be umounted. Need to umount manually. If not then it will be mounted multiple times.
