Sound and fastfpe (if they are not there) please!

Dang...I just started the build (I thought there was something I was supposed to do when it was asking about FPE... ). I'll probably do another one, though, as I probably messed something up here.

Just a tip for non english language... changing the locale is fast and works as far as I've tested.

Now running XFCE, Iceweasel, gnumeric, abiword and mousepad in Spanish.

I recommend trying Galeon instead of IceWeasel. It's lighter AFAIK, at least it runs quite nicely.

I'm going to try to compile a new kernel for this. Anybody have any patch requests (not that they'll necessarily be used, but I'll most likely try)? The HostAP injection patch is already going to be used.

please patch for my a-data 40x cf 16gb card!
the pdaxii13 kernel recognizes it..maybe it is a simple option?
as well as sound and fastfpe

Capn_Fish · « **Reply #109 on:** September 20, 2007, 05:37:46 pm »

Fastfpe doesn't have a Makefile in it's dir, so as far as I can tell, I can't use it.

Do you know where there's a patch for said CF card?

EDIT: And what do people mean by "sound?"

I don't. Given that the pdax kernel handles it, I bet meanie might have an idea.

possibly it is something in ata, or pcmcia options?

ut seems to function on the generic sharp sl cf driver....?

the sound patches in the pdaxii13 kernel... again ask meanie, or eviljazz

For sound see here:[a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=23984&pid=167603&st=75&#entry167603]sound[/url]

Not sure if its possible - I think eviljazz's stuff is for 2.4 kernels only at the minute...

Capn_Fish · « **Reply #112 on:** September 20, 2007, 06:12:27 pm »

OK, I'll wait for them to post (please do!).

On a brighter note, I'm getting the kernel to compile properly (a file was broken), so hopefully I be able to test it soon.

Is there any files relating to wm8750 in the debian kernel source?

Capn_Fish · « **Reply #114 on:** September 20, 2007, 06:35:18 pm »

I think so...But my Z won't boot after installing the new kernel, so it may not be useful.

I followed the procedure here:

http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/x50vHowTo#kernel

and copied the modules over (before flashing the kernel). Now when I press the power button, the screen flashes white for a split second, then nothing happens.

Ideas?

EDIT: Yes, there is wm8750 stuff.

What toolchain are you using? Native or cross compile?
The sound maybe as simple as merging evil_jazz's patches into the wm8750 files - but I'm guessing.

Capn_Fish · « **Reply #116 on:** September 20, 2007, 06:46:05 pm »

Cross-compiling using the toolchain in the link above.

Guess i'll have to get me a debian installation and have a play. Sorry can't help much right now.

this is gcc4, right? there wouldn't be fastfpe, would there? wasn't that a gcc 2.5 thing?

The A-Data 16GB card should be covered by some generic ata/pcmcia/flash options, one would think, since it worked on ubuntu dapper and in pdaxii13 with no extra mods..

Edit: one good reason to actually put some effort into support for the A-data is that it runs $100+ USD less than the sandisk, and gives performance on the Z that should be quite close or even identical to the "faster" sandisk (due to zaurus limits, not card differences, or a lack thereof). More interestingly A-Data is coming out with a 32 Gig Cf card. Between the low price and the upcoming bigger card, this might well be a popular conversion card, if it is working well on several roms

Well I must be keen: I re-installed it, but this time I chose testing (=lenny?) for the install. A few minor problems that I didn't see with etch.

It didn't set time and date correctly. I finally used date to sort that out.

It forces a password change at every login.

I hope someone can explain where to turn that off!
(sorted I used passwd --mindays 30 user)

When I did the recommended command for staring the gui, from the install page the login screen was too big for the zaurus.

Using startx sorted that out. I think I mean it's a bad idea to use xdm directly. But maybe the reboot had something to do with it working properly with startx?

I was clumsy in calibrating the screen. The tip about deleting ts.conf worked well.

Can't seem to get startx to work when logged in as ordinary user. Any suggestions?

Where is sudo when you want her?

Plus points:

It seems to me that the keymapping is spot on (I thought there were some glitches with the etch set up).

The stylus/mouse seems to be more usable and positive.

I've asked for a new forum down in the requests section. Hope some kind admin is paying attention.

General plusses: the wifi connection has never been so stable, seems quicker than my very limited experience with pdaxrom. Like the browsers.

RFC: what is the standard pim stuff really? I don't recognise it from Ubuntu.
