Pdaxrom For C3000 (based On Beta1/beta3)

[Meanie]

if possible, could you paste the output of dmesg right after it starts up? it sounds like the pivot boot process worked for you which is good progress. did you have to do any tweaking to the init file or just used the latest installer files?
it may help if you installed the latest beta3 kernel module package.
http://zaurus.spy.org/feeds/cacko/pdaXrom/...20_armv5tel.ipk
and do a depmod -v
also, can you check whether /home is mounted on the microdrive or flash? the output of mount and df would be great if you could paste it here.
i did update all the files last night except the hdimages which i am still working on but close to completion.

I did not changed anything. just downloaded latest files off your location and used them.

Some images i took during the boot ... not best quality  but it reads

I'm also attaching my dmesg, hope it helps.
Attached messages file, with the wlan errors inside.

I noticed that Fn+key does not work under X/mrxvt/aterm. I cannot type symbols that depend on it, like * , : , ; , etc.

it all looks ok. can you try booting without anything inserted into the cf slot and then inserting the card once it has finished booting

for the keymapping, try

xmodmap /etc/X11/kb/spitz.xmodmap

Rebooting without CF loaded, and then with CF loaded, both produced kernel panic errors.

Here is the screenshot
Shot 5

I haven't changed anything, just rebooted from the x menu entry.

for the keymapping, try

xmodmap /etc/X11/kb/spitz.xmodmap

I will try this ... once i get rid of the kernel panic.

Also, I noticed the fonts in FBReader are messed, can't display cyrillic. B3 was okay by default. Are there any (font) packages needed to install ?

I want to add one or two small games, note the small part. i just want to add something fun but not something huge. you can install all the games you want since you will have a few gigs free space to install them on  and no ipkg-link required!

Hi,

First of all thank you for the great work.

I'd like to recommend you to include sdlvexed since it is only 532k and includes 19 levelpacks with music and nice graphics.

Available from http://www.pdaxrom.org/contrib/humit/sdlve....6_armv5tel.ipk

thanks.

edit:
sdlvexed shortcut keys:
f: full screen
l: choose levelpack (works in fullscreen mode)
m: mute sound
s: solve

Meanie- amazing job. I got a SL-C3000 three weeks after it was launched and it has never been more than a toy until now. I've tried every distro except OpenBSD. Now it's a proper lil linux laptop!!! Terrific.

Keyboard. I'm a Dvorak touch typist (I'm OLD- built my first micro-computer (Altair) in 1976). Have a small usb keyboard, A Jetion I got in Singapore.
How do I remap the external keyboard to Dvorak? You mention that it'll remap when the USB is plugged in. What file will it go looking for?

Thanks a million

the keyboard mapping i am still working on.
what should be happening once it is done, the correct usbkbd.o module is loaded when the keyboard is plugged in. currently my tiny usb keyboard refuses to work but my generic 104 key ps2 keyboard plugged in via a usb2ps2 adaptor seems to be working with only one dead key so far (i only mapped the main keyboard but not the keys on the right hand side where the keypad is and the home key, etc since my tiny usb keyboard does not have those keys anyway)
so the usbkbd.o module might change in the new upcoming hdimage.
also, the hotplug subsystem will execute the keybdev script which will turn the auto repeat off and remap the keys, ie in summary it will run the following two commands:
xset r off
xmodmap /etc/X11/kb/usb.xmodmap
the usb.xmodmap would be where the keys will be mappped. i am still working on a map for qwerty and might decide to give it a diffrent name such as usb-en-101.xmodmap

Meanie
Thanks. Let us know when the keymapping's done. Could I hack the xmodmap to a Dvorak layout?

well, auto remapping of the keymapping did not work as I expected so I will look into it later, however, I made a little GUI to switch between different keymaps.
so my current naming convention for keymaps is as follows:
spitz.xmodmap is the default keymap for the Z keyboard while usb.xmodmap the default usb keymap
then other keymaps can be added for other keyboards, ie usb-uk.xmodmap, usb-de.xmodmap, etc...
maybe yours can be named usb-dvorak.xmodmap
I can include it in the next release of pdaXii13 if you send me a working dvorak keymap.


PS: I didn't create any of the additional keymaps. The menu items are just place holders until you create your own keymap and drop them into /etc/X11/kb
send me a copy of your usb keymaps if you want me to include it in pdaXii13 by default.

[Antikx]

Please excuse my ignorance but would you also want keymaps for particular USB keyboards that people have figured out?
EDIT: Sorry I re-read your post and realized that is indeed what you're talking about. I'll send you my Adesso USB Kbd map.

I have installed the packages and now PDAXROM is working right.  I am hoping it can be fixed instead of reinstalling.

During the bootup after it says welcome to PDAXii3 I get these errors

ldconfig : /user/local/lib/libXp.so.6 is not a symbolic link
ldconfig : /user/local/lib/libXm.so.6 is not a symbolic link
ldconfig : input file /user/lib/libSDL_ttf-2.0.so.0.6.0 not found


I still get the command prompt and log in as root
When I type startx it says
error loading shared libraries :libaticore.so.1 : cannot open shared object, no such file or directory.

All I did for this to happen was install packages from PDAXROM feeds I had found on this site.

Unfortunately, not all packages are always build perfectly and if you are unlucky to install one of those, it may cause problems on your Z. This is an unfortunate thing in the Zaurus world, but its better than have no packages at all to install. Try uninstalling the offending packages and find other versions of them.

Well I am still learning linux so it may be difficult.  I know how to uninstall from the command line but how do I find out what packages blew it up and find the package name to ipkg remove?

Meanie:

Maybe this isn't a bug with pdaXii13 as I never actually tried this under cacko but I had a look at /proc/cpuinfo when not overclocked earlier and it said 400+ (415?) bogomips. I then used the CPU config tool to overclock to 624Mhz and did another cat /proc/cpuinfo but it still said 415 (or whatever) bogomips.

I last updated my kernel, initrd and hdimage when you last renewed all three but I think you have released a new set of initrds (and kernels?) since then so maybe that has fixed it or maybe the bogomips value is being wrongly reported somehow?

Has the full hdimage been updated recently- with the SD card fix, new gnumeric and dictionaries etc? Next time you update the files it might be a good idea to give them a date or version number to make it easier for people to report bugs- if there are any in this next release of course!

personally I think overclocking the Zaurus is a bad idea so I will not touch that area. feel free to do that if you want to but you're on your own and at your own risk when you do that.

as for updates, there has been no new release of pdaXii13 since the last one (build2), all the minor updates I made were fixes to the installer (updater.sh and updater-tools.bin). No changes were ever made to the kernel images since I dont have an environment to build kernels on... and the initrd.bin files updates only contain fixes to the init script which is just a simple shell script without much mystical magic around it (some people might give it fancy names in other distros, but it is just a shell script).
the hdimages have not been updated since the last update. i will be uploading new images (build3) today which will take several hours to complete...

Just a note as fa as wi-fi radar is concerned - people will have to check what their wifi-card comes up as (wlan0 or eth0) and set /etc/wifi-radar.conf accordingly. I've fot one card that shows up as eth0 and one that is wlan0.

I can't wait to see build 3!

(I'm going libretto-less for today - c3k only )

[danboid]

Sounds fantastic!

It's amazing how much pdaXii13 has progressed in such a short time. Build 4 sounds like it will be my dream Z OS!

A flite gui! Just like the speak tool in workbench!? Oooh I hope it can read pretty large text files (books) and has a 'pause' button- that would make it such a cool little app!

May I suggest the addition of vlc to the list of new apps in build 4 - it makes a great shoutcast browser/player.

Please let us know when uploading of build 3 is complete- thanks Mr Meanie!
