NEW: CACkO Zaurus Qtopia ROM 1.21 HotFix B

Maslovsky, could you possible take a look at the Cacko 1.21 Rom thread (stickied) about my request to non hard-code the [,/] and [.?] keys in the kernel (seeing as you might be working on the kernel)? I would really appreciate it if you could see if it would be possible to change the behaviour of these keys such that they would be modifiable in Keyhelper.

Thanks a million,
Yz

I believe that you can already do that.  I have.  But reverted back because I had problems.  If you take a look at /home/root/Applications/cyrillica/english [keyboard] section and remove the 3 lines after [keyboard].  Reboot (or restart Qtopia, I cannot remember).  Now the keyhelperconf app can see the keys and you can remap them that way.

Problems I have with /home/root/Applications/cyrillica/english:

1. Xqt some application do not respect the change.
2. Remote application do not respect the change.

X can have its own way of mapping keys and does.  There are defaults in the X server, ways to change with xmodmap, etc...  I am still working on fixing them.

Problems I have using keyhelper for ./,?.  Keyhelper sends events.  This really screws up some apps.  In X run xev with keyhelper switching , and /.  xev reports / as shift ,-down ,-up unshift.  This helps some issues, but hurts others.  I tracked it down to Xqt default mapping.

What I would like would be someone to explain to me a great detail exactly how the Zaurus determines what keycode/scancode = what character modified and unmodified and how many ways it can be done.  I need to get all my X issues resolved.

It would also be nice to have some applications that have their own way to map keyboards (e.g. Xqt) to be excluded.

Thanks.

Yzord, Datajerk has it, just go into /home/root/Applications/cyrillica/english and change like so:

WAS:

[keyboard]
\',\'   \',\'   \'/\'
\'/\'   \',\'   \',\'
\'?\'   \'?\'    \'.\'
0   0   0

NOW:

[keyboard]
\',\'   \',\'   \',\'
\'/\'   \'/\'   \'/\'
\'?\'   \'?\'    \'?\'
0   0   0

(If it doesn\'t work, I know there are lines in keyhelper.xml that swap things too, so maybe you need to take those out, I already did.)

and walla!

OR what I did was copy english, to another name and make another keyboard file with the / and , not switched. BE SURE to edit the label in your new file (at the top) or you can\'t tell which keyboard you are in.

Now I just switch between the two keyboards, and just as quick as lightning  my , and / switch back and forth! SWEET!

It is amazing!

Who knew I\'d find a use for cyrillica.  I don\'t write in other languages very often these days. I wish I had had this baby when I was in Russia, but that was years ago.

Only bad thing is now my Z is back to saying \"AMEN\" all morning. I feel like I\'m in church.  Now I know how to change that EN label though.

Thank you both datajerk and clofland - this solution works well. I, too, run Xqt, but I dont use it extensively... I guess I\'ll have to see if I can live with the weirdness.

I have few problems with BT CF card bt2000e_cs. When I remove card from slot or make \"software eject\", then I make \"lsmod\", I see:
Module                  Size                  Used by
 \"bt2000e_cs         12320              -1
Next I insert card. I see \"Used by 0\".
Now I made PAN connection to my desktop computer. It works.
I disconnect and remove card. Zaurus now freezes.
What is wrong?
I have CackoRom1.21b, but this problem I have with 1.21 too.

OK, if there will be a few people who want such kernel I\'ll build it and package as a separate update. Next week maybe.


Anton:
Glad to hear you\'re going to roll the kernel without the logo!  

How is the work going with making the pdaXrom & Cacko kernel compatible? Will it be possible?

Cheers,
Jerry

Try to use another (default) driver - bt950_cs. Edit /etc/pcmcia/bluetooth.conf card and uncomment entries for bluetooth or ambicom card (whatever you have) and rename bt2000e_cs.conf to .bt2000e_cs.conf. Then restart pcmcia (/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart)

Some progress on logo-less kernel. Turning off the logo was easy. However I must be totaly stupid, but I cant get boot messages to appear  Yes I did change the \"console=\" parameter, I\'ve tried different options with no luck...

Argh, I'm having a nagging issue with my C760 + Cacko 1.21b.
Everytime I try to connect to a Win2kbox with the USB Storage setting it keeps trying to load the SL-Series3 WDM driver instead of a regular USB Storage driver. This means that I cannot load the Z as a storage card.
I've tried the suggestions on the preceeding pages (that have to do with the usbstorage setting not "keeping" after a reboot), but that hasnt changed anything. I thought it was my computer, but it asks for the same thing on other computers as well. I also had no problems with TCKRom as well as an older version of the Cacko rom (colleague has C760 with older cacko ROM which works in usb storage mode no problem on my computer as well).

That pretty much rules out the computer, so it's gotta be the Z. This is driving me nuts! Any help?

Hello,

I am trying to get the HotfixB off the zaurususergroup webpage but somehow I cannot reach the subdomain https://www.oesf.org.

Can any kind soul suggest from where else could I get the ROM?

Many thanks!

# CONFIG_SHARPSL_BOOTLDR_PARAMS is not set

Otherwise the angel bootloader overwrites your manually set command line arguments.

itreeye: once you download the cacko-hotfixb.ipk file just click on it and it will install like a normal program. You may need to restart after that but that's all. good luck.
