that's foreign to me ??

What is a good english photo software? I see the included one has no english menus.

I found a download link for TxImage, and put file in "install files" folder. But, when I access the Add/Remove software on Zaurus. It doesn't show this file. It does show my other files that I have installed.

installed Portabase/zsolitaire etc, but they are not in landscape mode? Is there a way to change it to landscape mode?

---

installed libptp2, but don't see it in the files or main application screen?

those are commandlines to show memory and disk space. You could always just look at the system info program for a gui view.

tap and hold the portabase icon to uncheck zoom mode. This will allow you to see portabase in all its glory

I unchecked zoom mode, thx, but why does Portabase show the Internal flash info?

You can try Sharp's own software "Photo Storage"
It has been converted to English, so it should be good to go.
Check the Cacko ROM archives and the hav the English IPK. Should work fine for Sharp ROM as well.

Thanks.

I just got SD card, and placed in Zaurus. It seems to read it fine. Why do I need to format to FAT?

Jon_J · « **Reply #82 on:** October 04, 2006, 11:40:32 am »

Most SD cards and CF cards are formatted as FAT from the factory.
On your Zaurus, look in system info and click the "Mount" tab.
This will show you what format the SD card is.
Mine shows this for my SD card.

/mnt/card /dev/mmcda1 vfat rw,noatime

The part your'e interested in is the "vfat" under the "Type" column.

I don't have a Mount Tab, only Storage, Memory, Version, and Device.

Also, how do I get the Zaurus to recognize my camera. I'm using a camera usb cord with host cable to Zaurus. It doesn't do anything.

I've downloaded libptp_1, but don't have any icon for it.

I'm trying to get this working before this weekend.

What camera do you have ?

After you plug in the camera,
do a "dmesg" on it.
(doing a dmesg isrunning the command in the command prompt on the Zaurus).

See if the camera is recognised as a device when connected.
Also did you do the mount on the camera device to mount it as a storage space on your Zaurus ?

Fuji Finepix S5000

How do I get command prompt? and how do I get back to normal screen mode after using prompt?

I can select USB mode to PC or (some kind of icon) possibly a memory card?

Not sure how I am to do the mount on camera?

sorry confused...??

fishcube · « **Reply #87 on:** October 04, 2006, 12:32:38 pm »

Would it be easier to get a usb card reader? would need it to work with usb host cable and xD cards.

bluedevils · « **Reply #88 on:** October 04, 2006, 12:59:53 pm »

lookup the program qconsole and install it for commandline.

dmesg will tell you what is going on with the system, so it should tell you if it recognizes your camera or not.

One thing though, you might want to switch over to Cacko ROM, since that is the most supported ROM which is similar (compatible) to the Sharp ROM, but also better with added functionalities built-in (like USB support etc).

But again, dont rush yourself - take it all one-step at a time.
