latest X11/pdaX ROM!?!?

[Bebe]

what about por linksys wcf12 owners?
is there any hope for this abandoned card?

Scott

The WCF12 works out of the box (at least for me).
It uses the orinoco drivers though.

I reinstalled the rom and gave it a closer evaluation.  This sucker is fast!  Once you get used to suspending/unsuspending the way it wants you too, get your WiFi card working, and install the sd-module I think it is very smooth.  The speed of this rom is great

The only real bug I have seen so far is the one with the Active Tasks folder, but I doubt that will keep me from using it.

Did I say that it is fast?  Fast!

huh? pdaXrom is X11... are you asking about the differen\'t window manager?

see:  www.xwinman.org

IMnsHO, X11 just isn\'t or wasn\'t... designed for 320x240 ... sure, 640x480 is nice, but when you\'re talking about
pda size pixels vs normal monitors, etc, X11 still isn\'t designed for small screens.

Some of the window managers attempt to deal with this -- matchbox is one of those.  Of course, the box is
a PDA, and some people want to actually use it as a PDA... and matchbox seems to be a decent choice.  If
you want to run another window manager, I\'m sure it would work.  Of course, what happens with a set window
manager is that there is the ability to integrate things such that an install of a program creates an icon, etc.
It\'s difficult to make a program install and integrate with many different managers, etc.

The functionality of the old X11 rom will move over to the new rom.  Yes, it is annoying to have window managers
and back end change so often, but once it does stabilize, the development speed is unsurpassed.

thats true, but since i replaced the original pencil with a tooth-stick it actually works quite well

Anyone able to get their Socket card working with the PMCIA fix instaled? My cardis still not being recognized.

[Richjn]

The fix didn\'t include the socket card (I unpacked it to check) It has got the buffalow card added. I added the Socket card manualy but it still comes up as unrecognised. after reboot.

I talked to Sashz on irc earlier today, he said he would work on the socket card.

I\'ve also installed the crystal icon set and it some how fixed the active task problem.

I use a papermate pencil... the orange one.  sometimes I write with the lead to kind
of shape/sharpen it.  I can put the lead away, but then it\'s less accurate.  The lead seems to be soft enough.

ps: ya, \"graphite\" ... anyway.

I also installed crystal -- and the active tasks seems less annoying now.
I wish that was available via the applet bar!

Also, I once has the applet \"launcer\" menu come up in its own stand alone X window... sashz says m* says \"odds\" ... ya, odds... ya, broken.  wifi applet doesn\'t like to come up, etc.

we also need a way to select middle/right button VIA KEYBOARD.  I think sash will work on that.

Even the Buffalo card isn\'t working for me after the fix. Anyone here with a Buffalo card managed to get it working?

[Foxdie]

Don\'t forget you can use alt+tab (Address+tab) to task-switch like in Windoze

I\'m quite fond of the kids icon set. I love vibrant colourful things. I will talk to sashz about the second / third button change, I think I could port my old script to change the screen tap button by pressing one of the japanese keys, more details on that later (I\'ll make it a seperate post).

I\'ve got a buffalo card and installed the pcmia card fix via a CF card, as I didn\'t have networking (forgot about USB :-).  It works flawlessly for me, sorry to hear you have problems.  If you want someone else to test combinations etc post and I\'ll try for you.

On a side note has anyone figured out how to keep the time working properly after pulling out power/batteries? or leaving X?
