Cacko Zaurus Qtopia ROM 1.21 is available!

[Zuber]

I only found out when someone else that bought a unit from us tried the cacko rom and found the problem and told us.

I just tested it to confirm. So there does appear to be a consistant problem with it on Cacko rom.

Hi there,
I\'m using the latest and greatest Cacko QT Rom and have installed X/QT in it. While some programs from the pdaXrom feed work great (e.g. gimp and the Mac emulator basilisk 2) others fail because of a missing library (libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0). Can anyone point me to where I could get this lib?
Thanks for taking the time to read

Did you ever figure out this problem?

[omega]

clofland, regarding the missing libraries you can link to qtopia ones. If you look around i have a post on this... more problems though after that for me.

How do I repartition the onboard flash like it says in the first post?

[stupkid]

That's part of th installation process.  The installer will prompt you.

[SharpEnd]

I installed the Cacko ROM, the hotfix B, it booted once, and I was having the display "banding and ghosting" issue (c860) so I added the following

echo 75 > /proc/driver/w100/fastsysclk

to the /opt/QtPalmtop/qpe.sh script and it hangs on reboot.  After the first Sharp screen I get:

INIT: Entering runlevel: 5

Wait....5 (counts down to 1)
Wait....1
Wait....1
       etc, about 9 times, then:
INIT: ID "ln" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
       followed by a blinking cursor (no # sign).

It looks as though adding the line to fix the ghosting to the qpe.sh script causes it to hang, unless I did something wrong?
I reflashed, and it runs, but the banding problem is back.  I don't want to have to run the echo command every time I reboot - anyone have a fix?

Where did you put that command? What editor did you use?

[SharpEnd]

I used ZEditor and put it towards the end just before the done command.

Here's the fix, from Maslovsky:

-----

Install Midnight Commander (available for download at this site), then go to console and type:

    su
    mc -a

Open qpe.sh in MC internal editor and enter the command:

    echo 75 > /proc/driver/w100/fastsysclk

before the line containing "nice survive..." command.  

Save the file, then either reboot or terminate Qtopia.

-----

It now boots perfectly, with no banding or ghosting!

Thanks to all!

I could not eject my bluetooth card (CC3040 Anycom BT CF card; model no. LSE039/5 R1A) on my c860, using Cacko 1.21b.
when i try to eject the card from the applet in task bar or using command "cardctl eject 0", my z just freeze. I can't even shut down my z via Fn+Home+flipping battery lock, i have to take out the battery to reboot my z.  

I used this card with the original Sharp rom with no problem

but what's weird is that the Z have no problem recongizing the bt card in Cacko, and I can use it to connect to my pc via PAN , and use internet and samba

I have search for this forum for hrs, and i have tried to uninstall every ipk that I had installed, including the hotfix-b ipk, still no fix...

can someone plz help me to fix this problem
thank you for ur time and help~~~

Lumune,

Had this problem myself with a Bluemonkey card (LSE039/12 R2B) Zbones pointed me in the right direction on this one (and it was really annoying me until I got it fixed).

Edit /etc/pcmcia/bluetooth

Find the line that says 'hciconfig $2 down' and change it to 'hciconfig hci0 down' et voila.
Hope that works as well for you as it did for me !

BTW: Make sure that the line following 'hciconfig hci0 down' says 'sleep 1' as there are problems if the eject kicks in before the firmware on the card responds to the down.

Regards,

Andy

YES~~~~!!!
it works~~~ woohoo~~~!!!

Thank you very much iamasmith and also Zbones~~  
I thought I have to switch back to the original Sharp rom ....  

actually, i am wondering how on earth Zbones found out that's the problem...

anyway, thanks

Trial and error, mixed with a bit of luck.

I figured out that configuring the card down before doing an eject works fine, so I just started hacking the scripts about a bit.

If an unlimited number of monkeys on an unlimited number of keyboards given an unlimited amount of time, can reproduce the complete works of shakespear then one monkey on one keyboard, could eventually stumble across the secret to fixing a blue monkey card.  

PS, with the advent of the internet we now know that the original statement is untrue.
An unlimited number of monkeys on an unlimited number of keyboards simply produce an unlimited number of "make money fast" emails and fake v!agra adverts

Posted in other forum to see if anyone can offer some help, withour success, reposting here in the hope that someone can help, perhaps Maslovsky.

I have tried to flash to Cacko 1.21 ROM using 4 separate downloads, all appeared to flash successfully, although I did get the following error message during the ROM install process, on each occasion.

'modprob can't locate module devinfo' (assume device info required by IPK installer)

All the standard apps work, but I can't load new applications, using the installer, even hotfix B failed on 2 of the downloads. It gives 1 of 2 error messages 'ipkg says something went wrong. Sorry' or 'The filename of this package includes characters this application can't handle. Please change the filename and retry install'

Cacko ROM looks good, but I will need to return to Sharp ROM, if I can't resolve the problem, except I can't find the instructions to return, searched forum & how tos.

Update on previous post.


I can install any application that can run from a SD card, dosn't hep with installing hotfix B, but may throw some light on the problem.
