x11zaurus location?

[Gudlyf]

On this page, I see there's an ipk of X11:

http://killefiz.de/zaurus/showdetail.php?app=591

However, the page it links to is gone.  I'm hoping someone has a copy of this ipk that I can grab or knows where I can get it?

Thanks!

Try the X/Qt instead, xzaurus is unmaintanied now I think and the X/Qt guys are still developing

X/Qt works well with pocket workstation (debian) too

The last little modification in X/Qt was approximatively 120 days before today (4 months) according to their cvs repository.

A few people like me were wainting for windows rootless mode. The project certainly need X11 developers to acheive this.

It's better than xzaurus thougth.

If you have an SL-C700/750/860 you could try pdaXrom. It works great, there's a lot of powerful applications, wifi / usb works out of the box, applications are optimised for the Intel xcale processor, ipkg manager works great  and... what I didn't know... all source code is available. Add to this that the system developpment kit is easy to manage and works since many months (or we wouldn't have pdaXrom running on our Zaurus ...

[Stubear]

However pdaX doesn't have a decent Japanese input system and AFAIK no handwritting input at all.

Also zten and kanjinirvana - my most used apps after opie-reader and ko/pi dont run on pdax.

If you are only after 1 or 2 X apps to run on your Z then Xqt is probably your best bet. But if you want the full power of linux and X on your Z then flash with pdaX - or you can try dual booting from SD card

The xfree86 package didn't work that well on the 5500, the touch screen was buggy and it's now rather old as the others said. It also required you to shut down qtopia to run it.

The next step in X11 on Zaurus was to use Qtopia-X (which exports the X desktop over a VNC link) and view it with the keypebble VNC client. This worked well, however having used all of the above I'd recommend you go with Xqt. It's better, easier and more up to date.

Thanks for the pointers!  I'll try X/Qt.

Has anyone installed X/Qt on their SL-5500/5600?  I seem to have everything installed correctly, but the Xqt server starts in landscape mode (even if I'm in portrait mode), and the server screen seems overlapped.  If I try to move the cursor, forget it.  And if I try to start an xterm, its window wraps around.  It's all very odd.

Anyone else have these issues?

[lardman]

I installed it without too many troubles on my 5500 with OZ3.3.6pre1.

the only major issue I had was that some config files were placed in /home/zaurus, and I run as root so I had to copy them across to get it working.


Si

[Gudlyf]

Hrm, so by default it doesn't start in landscape mode?

Here's a cap of what it starts like when I issue "xinit" or "startx":

Has anybody tryed this on sl5600?

[lardman]

If you press the menu hardware key, where does the menu pop up?

I'm just wondering whether the whole Qtopia app is rotated, or just X11.


Si

[Gudlyf]

The menu pops up in the upper-left and displays downwards like it should.

I have installed X/QtServer (xqt-server_0.0.9_arm.ipk) and a font package (xqt-fonts-misc_1.0.0_all.ipk) but it does not launch at all on my SL5500G with ROM 3.10. Anything else I have to install?

BTW: if someone is interested, I still have a copy of the x11zaurus_0.7_arm.ipk and x11zaurus_0.8_arm.ipk packages because I use the X server as part of myPDA-Zaurus-Edition.

[Gudlyf]

What happens when you try to launch it?

I guess nobody has an answer for my strange rotated-X Server problem.
