New Pdaxrom Release R197

[ZDevil]

Try eth0 instead of wlan0. It seems to depend from card to card. eth0 works for my Symbol Spectrum24.

Also i simply use the LAN&Wifi tool and that still works for me in r197.

Seems part of it was it wanting symbol firmware. I'll try putting that in place and see how I get on. The APM issue may force me to go back to cacko once more though

[kellyharding]

OK, using those scripts and with the symbol firmware in place I get the card to come up and have an ip address.

But I seem to have no network activity/access

[kellyharding]

OK. Gave up with my Socket LP card.

Gave the D-Link DCF-650W a try... it works! after I run the script off of pdaxrom.org.

I have networking working. albeit with a card ive never used (cacko never worked with it, so bunged it in a draw out of the way).

No idea what is causing the socket card ot to work.

I'm thinking I might get an ambicon card and ditch that socket card, seems to cause me nowt but hassle!

WPA would be nice, but WEP works for now.

touchscreen unusable on 860. Latest release working: beta1. Why don't you simply restore beta1 touchscreen driver and settings? PLEASE

Touchscreen seems to work fine on my C860.

[scoutme]

I'm not sure you are noticing the real problem of the touchscreen driver.
1) Can you correctly use xstroke or others writing recognition tools?
2) Can you get correct drawing in sketchbook or xournal?
3) Can you ALWAYS click correctly on buttons and icons?

try xournal; open a new file and tap screen with a finger. If you see strange line appearing instead of dots, than the support is crappy. That's not fine at all.
Thank you in advance for testing, let me know

I don't use either of the first two so have never tried them.

As for the third, I'll have to try later perhaps.

Without the powerlead it seems to shut itself down randomly and think the battery is dead when it isn't.

[donquixote]

Thanks to the developers for releasing this.

Yeah the APM issue is still not resolved. Looks like the something (APM?) makes the Z think that it is low on battery and shuts it off.

Also, turning it on is a problem, I'm not sure if I should use the 'Home' button or the 'Power' button-- I've tried both, but I cannot figure out which one actually works since I press both until it finally turns on.

EDIT: Right after I wrote the above I realized that pdaxrom's behavior changed after installing the normal applications I used. Maybe the programs that I use interfere with the rom itself? Once I have time, I'll make a list of programs that I installed on top of the vanilla install. Please note, that I didn't notice the behavioral changes immediately after installation. They started gradually, which, I don't really understand why.

The APM issue is fairly major and critical. I'm gonna go back to cacko I think, need my Zaurus usable on the move

Hi

I would like to say thank you to the developer team. But since 860 model is worst supported the last releases I went back to original japanese sharp rom 1.10 plus update to 1.40jp
You did a great job, though ...

This fits my needs better. I will miss emacs, but powermanagement is more important.
I can input japanese out of the box, a dictionary is included, sound is working, enough pim software is installed, the clock is exact and battery is charged without problems.

And I have to improve my japanese ; )

Never mind
Enno

Hi there,

I can also confirm the APM issue is still there. I have make more checks,
hopefully a clue lies somewhere :

(1)
when 860 is off (cannot suspend), no AC adapter, the machine will
boot up normally, but battery status (using APM command) is off-line, battery status
high 0%. But then, after I plug in AC, the APM status change to on-line, battery status
critical, 5%.

This happens even in emergency mode.

(2)
when 860 is off and I connect AC to boot. the screen will show
sharpslpm AC adapter error and cannot charge message.
APM status is on-line, battery status critical, 5%.

Hope that helps,

Felix.

Some additional info :

I recharged my battery with another Z. then swap the battery.
Still the same problem

[grog]

I can confirm that (so far) that I have NO problem suspending and resuming with my C860 after a fresh install of r197. Right after being plugged in all morning, I unplugged then rebooted & apm reported offline at 83%, which seems low but still usable. After suspending I can resume using both the power & home keys.

I can also confirm the same for my C860. I flashed it when it had with pretty high battery level, and in fact without the AC power.
(What would be the cause of the problem then?  )
