QTopia Desktop <> 6000 ?

[sharpie]

Has anyone gotten Qtopia Desktop working with the 6000 (or any other sharp).
Took a day to get usb working on RH9, so have usb and wifi connect to 6000.
The only Q desktop I could find was an rpm.  It loads ok but will not let me set
the timezone and does not see the Z.

Any help ?

Thanks

Qtopia Desktop from Trolltech will not work with Sharp's sl-6000. You will have to use the Qtopia Desktop for windows that is on the cd for the 6000.

So how did you get RH9 USB working to the 6000?

Wish I had a day to explane it all but here is the digest version.
I used the execlent tutorial on
http://docs.zaurus.com/index.php?id=lc_redhat_5600
But it would not configure the usb so I hacked a file.
(This is real dangerous for me, do not know what I am doing) do so at your own risk.
I have a 5500 and it would start the usbnet stuff but the 6000 would not.
In the  'usbnet-standalone tarball.' that you download, I hacked the ??.c
file.  Look for any reference to 55xx or the 300 and change one to this.

{
        .match_flags    =   USB_DEVICE_ID_MATCH_INT_INFO
                          | USB_DEVICE_ID_MATCH_DEVICE,
        .idVendor               = 0x04DD,
        .idProduct              = 0x9032,
        .bInterfaceClass        = 0x02,
        .bInterfaceSubClass     = 0x0a,
        .bInterfaceProtocol     = 0x00,
        .driver_info =  (unsigned long) &zaurus_sl6000_info,
}

Look for the .info line and change on of them to below. ----------------
==============================================================

static const struct driver_info zaurus_sl6000_info = {
        .description =  "Sharp Zaurus SL-6000l",
        .flags =        FLAG_FRAMING_Z,
        .check_connect = always_connected,
        .tx_fixup =     zaurus_tx_fixup,

        .in = 1, .out = 2,
        .epsize = 64,

But, it will not even work on RedHat 9, Cannot change the timezone- many errors.
If I could get that working, I would try to get to talk to the 6000.  Can't be that hard. Can it! ?

I'd suggest you use an earlier version of QT Desktop (1.61 worked OK with my 5500 with Sharp ROM 2.38, later QT Desktop versions didn't), or better yet, use multisync and Ximian evolution. I did have that working with my 5500--

Earlier versions of Qtopia Desktop will not work with the 5600, the 5500 roms version 3.. and 6000. Sharp changed the way their Qtopia devices sync, and also changed their PIM data db to a proprietary db.
