It would be beneficial for all of us X/Qt users, if we post here known pdaXrom apps that install without modification.

GIMP installs without problems.

Pdaxrom nethack installs fine, but has problems with the scrollbar sliders (ie they dont work properly, only ever goes down or to the right). Otherwise great!

Openciv almost works, but fails at the last moment with an odd "undefined symbol: XkbLibraryVersion" error. See:
1) https://www.oesf.org/forums/inde...wtopic=3354&hl=
2) https://www.oesf.org/forums/inde...wtopic=4933&hl=

The second thread about libraries may be useful to some of you, as it has links to a bunch of libraries that Sash made available from the Pdaxrom setup (would be useful to those missing these libraries whilst trying out software made for the Pdaxrom ROM).

I haven't actually installed program's directly, but extracting the pdaXrom to SD, dual booting to pdaX and then installing everything as normal has allowed me to run most apps from the dual boot system directly in Xqt, including firefox, sylpheed, xfce (v. slowly) and some other stuff.

mmh, fascinating.. care to start a new thread about running pdaXrom dual boot in tandem with X/Qt?

Maybe with idiot-proof instructions?

sounds like good wholesome family fun padishah_emperor! ;-)

Xcircuit works, I've seem xmms work but i don't think it works for me at the moment.

xmms works, with mad for mp3... installed the xmms-tremor library, but can't get it to accept oggs + there's no text on the menus?

omega · « **Reply #7 on:** July 08, 2004, 12:17:59 pm »

what fonts ipks do people have installed for x/qt?

omega · « **Reply #8 on:** July 08, 2004, 12:18:49 pm »

When i installed the xmms-tremor plugin it installed to /usr/lib/xmms/input/... and that was probably fine if i have to install the pdaxrom xmms. However, i installed the one from the xqt feed and it doesn't look there...

moving the plugin to /opt/qtpalmtop/lib/xmms/input solved it! ;-)

GIMP installed fine, but is anyone else able to open JPEGs with GIMP? It does not work on my c860 w/ Cacko 1.21b. The gimp-plugins package does not cleanly install either.

Thanks!

Hi Stupkid,

This sounds like problems that I had. Eventually I figured out that I hadn't installed the libgimp package.

Regards,
P.

That's not a bug; that's how the Athena toolkit scrollbars work, unfortunately. The left mouse button scrolls down or right, the right button scrools up or left, and the middle button causes the scrollbar to jump to the cursor position.

Adding these lines to your Netscape.ad file should cause the scrollbar to work better without having to rely on extra mouse buttons:

NetHack*scrollbar.Translations: #override \n\
<Btn1Motion>:MoveThumb() NotifyThumb()

FYI I am working on a X/Qt-specific NetHack X11 package optimized for smaller screens, in case anyone is interested.
