Cacko Zaurus Qtopia ROM 1.21 is available!

[abri]

Found an issue, Prboom no longer runs properly when launched from the icon (which makes it run in magnified mode). From the command line it runs fine. I\'m using the updated version of prboom that was ported by zports. It has worked fine on 1.20.

Sory, I havn\'t tried it...

Anybody else seeing this or is that I\'ve borked my install somehow?

 :wink:

jerrybme, I have the same problem. I\'ve tried both the zports and the gnurou versions of libSDL (ver 1.2.6) and PrBoom from both sources, but no luck :-(

PsionX, that is real nice, keep em coming, you should post the instructions you gave me on a new thread.

I installed the earlier versions of prboom & the libSDL (1.2.5) and now it works fine.

... and the first problem I found myself - zip, unzip and lha binaries have wrong permissions so that only root can execute them. 
To fix it do this from console:

su
mount -o remount /
cd /bin
chmod a+x zip
chmod a+x unzip
chmod a+x lha
mount -o remount,ro /

Same for \"unrar\"

Thanks fot the catch!

great works!  while I\'m still playing around with the new rom, i have a very silly problem: I can\'t type the question mark (?)!  it just shows nothing when I press the key.

To fix the problem edit keyboard section in /home/zaurus/Applications/cyrillica/english  file so that it look like this:

Code: [Select]

[keyboard]

\',\' \',\' \'/\'

\'/\' \',\' \',\'

\'?\' \'?\' \'.\'

0   0   0

Then launch Settings-]Keyboard application and click OK, so that it reloads the layouts.

Same for other layouts (ex. english-uk) - edit appropriate layout file.

PS: Thanks to Kofi Annan for providing the fix

When I remove Pretec BT2000E, that Zaurus freezes. I must remove battery.
I have Cacko Rom1.21 and SL-C860. With 1.20 rom this works without problems.
Maybe bug in new driver bt2000e_cs ? Other problem?

Could you provide more information? Does that always happen? What do you do before you remove the card? Do you suspend/resume before ejecting the card?

You may want to try the driver that was used in previous version or the ROM. Delete file /etc/pcmcia/bt2000e.conf and uncomment Pretec entry in /etc/pcmcia/bluetooth.conf file. Then reboot your zaurus.

Let me know if it helps.

Hi All.  I\'ve been running with the latest ROM for a few days.  I love the new Media Player that was added.  It seems to play the multimedia files I download a lot better than mplayer.  Also, the Socket BT CF revG card is working better.

However, I have run into a handful of problems with the new ROM:

1.) My Z spontaneously suspends while using Opera and NetFront.  Sometimes I\'ll be downloading for several minutes and it\'ll turn off.  Other times, I\'ll be clicking around for a few seconds and the same thing happens.  I have my power settings set so it should not be suspending so quickly.

2.) There\'s still some quirks with the Socket BT CF rev G card:
  * Need to physically eject... the applet for ejecting doesn\'t work (gives error) and `cardctl eject` says the device is busy
  * Need to eject the card after each suspend and reinsert it
  * When dialing to my SE T610, the network applet indicates there\'s a connection eventhough it\'s still dialing
  * Sometimes in the network applet the \"Connect\" button is grayed out... need to go to edit and then leave the edit

All of the Socket card issues are just minor annoyances... this is much better than what we had in the previous ROM!!!  The spontaneous suspends though are a problem.  Do you think I need to try a reinstall??

Let me know what I can do to help with these issues.  I\'m always free to aid in testing.

Thanks
Curt

Hello,
it\'s strange, but now it works ;-)
I was commenting lines in bt2000e.conf and experimenting with serial_cs and hci_uart, because Marcel Holtmann tell me, that this can be functional. But it doesn\'t work. Now I\'am using bt2000e_cs which works at speed of light ;-) Transfer PC to Zaurus about 43kB/s.
We will see after few days...

When I play Movie with KINO2 , that suspend time will change to 30seconds. I must run \"Light & Power\" application to restore right settings (10minutes for me).
Run and Quit KINO2 doesn\'t make this problem. Movie must be played.
Maybe mplayer bug?
