5) xmms window does not fit on the screen and xmms will not play mp3s correctly, the sound is garbled.

6) xmms-embedded will not install. ipkg says it can't find the package.
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=147305\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

xmms-embedded is an opie app... When I tried gpe a while back the lack of a good GUI media player for QVGA was one of the reasons I didn't get very far. I second CoreDump's assesment that for now, Opie is the better choice for collie and poodle.

But didn't Coredump write that Opie wasn't being maintained anymore? Are we poodle users destined to fade away into obscurity? I can't afford a C-series Z, at least while maintaining my marital status. Why have the Developers forsaken us, why,........................... why!!!!

Why? let me write from my point of view.

1. Qt/e 2.3 which OPIE use is very old (qt2 is few years old nevermind that 2.3.12 was released in 2006).
2. Qt 4 is way easier to use for development.

Result is that after playing with Qt4 I do not want to reinvent wheel just to get my applications working on Zaurus/OPIE. I did many changes in OPIE in first two years of owning Zaurus but now I refuse to work on it.

There are rumours that Qtopia4 GPL will exist in 2007 so maybe it will get adopted for Zaurus. But this is only rumour...

Opie is not completley dead yet either  In its current state it actually works pretty well for what I use it for...with the exception of a good webbrowser. Threre are also some resource limited ipaq people who are still working with opie. So I would say that Opie should be a viable choice for at least 6-8 months.

The next kernel will get the volume control in opie working

As my Akita speeds it's way through the US Postal system after it's flight from Tokyo to New York City...

Has anyone tried to get serial_fd working on a collie in OZ?  Even in Hentges I get a "insmod: init_module: serial_fd: invalid argument" and it fails to load the module.

Argh!

Hopefully the Akita will have a generic USB Ethernet adapter so I don't have to install software on any Windows box...

Hey Coredump?  What window manager are you using in the GPE images?  I just got my Akita and after a bit of a trying time with GPE I slapped Opie on it.  Fluxbox just doesn't work well with it.  I'm using the latest -20061108 release.

I installed the 20061108 cardfs-gpe-collie install on my 5500 and I'm having trouble with both ipkg update failing and dist-upgrade failing, Do I need to do a dist-upgrade if I have the 20061108 image?

ipkg seems to fail on getting packages from feeds.openzaurus.org, It fails on the python feed

I'd get the Opie version with a SD card having a CardFS installed on it.  The SL-5500 (collie) isn't suited for GPE.

I've tried it myself on my collie.  It really needs the room to spread out.

Try using alsamixer from the command line.
