Cacko Zaurus Qtopia ROM 1.21 is available!

[PsionX]

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

There is a possibility to attribute keystroke to switch off zaurus, like :
\"ctrl (japan key) + space\" ]] switch off.
You can switch on and off, only with keyboard (like my old Psion)

For those that wish to change the Startup screen image there are a few caveats:

1.  Your bitmap needs to be 24-bit color 480x640 so the image will be a sideways portrait instead of a landscape image.
2.  The startup screen file location is /home/QtPalmtop/pics144/Startup_screen.bmp.bz2
3.  Delete the link under /home/QtPalmtop/pics144/Startup_screen.bmp.bz2 to /usr/QtPalmtop.rom/pics144/Startup_screen.bmp.bz2 before copying your new image in place.
4.  You will need to edit a line in /home/QtPalmtop/qpe.sh:

From ...

bzcat /usr/QtPalmtop.rom/pics144/Startup_screen.bmp.bz2 ] /tmp/Startup_screen.bmp

To...

bzcat /home/QtPalmtop/pics144/Startup_screen.bmp.bz2 ] /tmp/Startup_screen.bmp

Then you should be set. I have a pretty kewl Debian startup screen for those that are interested here:

You\'re absolutely right, thanks for the detailed instructions!

Will a port for the sl-6000 be made available

I don\'t have a 6000 device...

[maslovsky]

Just a general question on the Qtopia ROM 1.21. Are there any improvements on the PIM side of things? Any additional PIM functionality that will make a migration from v 1.20 worth the trouble?

Thanks,
Ashu

Not yet, but there willl be a patch available in a few days that will fix sorting issue in addressbook. The patch will be applied on 1.21 ROM without reflashing.

My first problem with this wonderful rom...  :?  
Opera doesn\'t find the Proxy
I use my zaurus at home on a wifi network (Asus WL-110) with a proxy on my XP PC [FreeProxy] for Web and Mail (sharing without router). It works with QTmail, Netfront with 192.168.129.2:6588 proxy adress... Opera doesn\'t find it.. opera.ini is no writable :cry:

I\'ve just checked and proxy works for me with Opera.

[maslovsky]

OK, here is the fix to the Z suspending while Opera or NetFront are running. The actual reason is the new screen saver included with 1.21 ROM. It overrides Qtopia suspending behaviour and provides it\'s own settings (actualy more flexible).

I really don\'t need the screen saver at all.  What is the cleanest way to turn it off or remove it?

Thanks
Curt

You can disable screen saver applet completely by deleting the following links:

rm -f /home/QtPalmtop/plugins/applets/liblusscreensaver.so.*

Then terminate Qtopia and let it restart.

You tested it with only one port available (ie. 6588). Port 80 blocked ?
Opera shows IP adress at the top of window, like \"192.168.129.2:6588\" when is connecting... It doesn\'t used Qtopia network settings.. but port 80

[maslovsky]

My proxy uses port 8080

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

I\'m feeling a bit stupid, but just can\'t get PrBoom to run correctly on the Cacko ROM.

If I run it from the command line (or from the icon without magnification), prboom runs, but rotated sideways. When I activate the maginification setting, and click on the icon, the screen resolution changes (white please wait screen) and then after a while just returns to the normal screen.

I have tried the following versions of libSDL:
           libsdl_1.2.5-slzaurus20030704
           libsdl_1.2.5-slzaurus20031204
           libSDL_1.2.5cvs-1
           libSDL_1.2.6cvs-1
           libSDL_1.2.6-zports_c7x0-0
           libSDL_1.2.6-zports_c7x0-1

and the following versions of prboom:
           2.2.3-2
           2.2.4-zports

Which combination of SDL and prboom worked for you?
Are you passing any command line parameters (other than wad file) to prboom, or setting any environment variables?

(I\'m having more or less the same problems with scummvm. )

I\'d be very greatful for any help.

Your port 80 is blocked on your router.. ?
Opera works only with proxy:8080, not without ? (same thing for Netfront).

I tested with port 8080 and I have the same error before changing the \"type = 2\" in Proxies.conf
After, it works and Opera shows :
\"Receiving data from (192.168.129.2)....\" you have same message with your IP:8080 ??
Can you post your Proxies.conf

Did you also install the sdl mixer & net  libs?

[PsionX]

There is a possibility to attribute keystroke to switch off zaurus, like :
\"ctrl (japan key) + space\" ]] switch off.
You can switch on and off, only with keyboard (like my old Psion)  

I found the solution ..  
In keyhelper.conf

Code: [Select]

[Launch]

V = Multimedia/kino2

K =Applications/embeddedkonsole

Z =Applications/zeditor

M =Multimedia/mpegplayer

A =Pim/addressbook

Backspace=__9quit
Now i use [Address] + [BS] .. switch.off  

[abri]

Did you also install the sdl mixer & net  libs?

Yes, I do hove the mixer and net libs installed - the music in prboom works great with the timidity patches.

I\'ll try it without mixer and net, and see if that helps.

Do anyone has trouble with the PPP connection to PC using BT?  After upgrade to v1.21, I can\'t connect to my WIN-XP PC using PPP via BT.  I have not tried v1.2 but when I was using v1.18, it should be ok.

When I ran

Code: [Select]

pppd call BT-WINXP debug -detach

it returned

Code: [Select]

connect script failed

I\'ve tried to rebuild my incoming connection and virtual com port but no luck.  

I don\'t repeat the details but I\'ve posted in  here.

My proxy is not a firewall, it\'s optional. No ports are blocked.

I tested with port 8080 and I have the same error before changing the \"type = 2\" in Proxies.conf
After, it works and Opera shows :
\"Receiving data from (192.168.129.2)....\" you have same message with your IP:8080 ??

Yes i have such message. I did not have to edit any config files, just configured proxy settings in network setup.

Can you post your Proxies.conf  

Here is goes.

Code: [Select]

[Common]

[Info]

[Properties]

autoconfig =

ftphost =

ftpport = 8080

httphost = sdcproxy.mos.elsterus.com

httpport = 8080
