take a look at the new kino thread and the new mplayer thread..that should give you plenty of info. Also MrSquishy has mostly written an opie-sh script for use with mplayer based on his snes9x script for openzaurus, you might ask him about that, and graft it in the watapon feed or something...

I think based on this that watapon (with maybe soemwriting of a mplayer.config file? or use on one maslovsky is doing for kino (if there is no kino for the 5600 (I'm not sure if there is or not) will give watapon good media playback with point n click interface.

worth a shot, I think--if this is what you meant

Actualy current testing kino2  version 0.4.1 (see corresponding thread in Software) should support 5600. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.

Also, I forgot that I can pin topics in this forum, so I'll make this pinned, so that it gets more attantion

just wanted to say i really like watapon, tried oz for a while but it had so many things i didn't like.  oh and anyone know how to quickload all the pim applications?  i want the pim stuff to load so much quicker than it is...

i wish i had the rotate app like in oz tho, that was a really nice feature.  i would try the one found earlier in the forums, but i read it took like 30 seconds to reorient itself.  curious why the server has to restart (in oz it didn't have to i'm guessing).

probably will start looking into getting fbvnc and snes emus running at some point.  that is, if the usb thing could be fixed...

To quick load apps ... just press and hold the stylus over the run icon, and you'll get a screen that allows you to quick-load that application. .  *it will take longer to boot, becasue it's going to run directly into memory *

as far as the rotate app :: it's right here in this thread    read through it all a few pages back, and you'll see links to the right files you need for the rotate app.  (the 5600 needs the correct version of rotate to work correctly) .. I have rotate working fine on my Wapaton 1.5.6 .. it takes a short while to switch into landscape mode, but it's worth it for real surfing or reading those PDFs

i appreciate the info on the quickload.  knew about the rotate app a few pages back but decided it would probably be too slow for my use.

i'm using 1.5.6 right now...i've downloaded some ipkg but can't get them to work..  it's probably on oz file, but i can't find libsdl for sharp...  is there a feed for ipkg in sharp format somewhere?  i was also curious if there was any reason watapon still uses the sharp packaging system--i'm guessing oz deviated for a good cause.

EDIT:  well i got snes9x working but i can't quit it...  lol.

I think OZ derviated for a good cause too. The problem is that OZ isn't stable yet, and sharp is.

Justin and other Watapon users,
here is something I recently found:  under the gwcalc, the unit conversion was not working.  I had to create a softlink for the gwcalc.units which installs under the /opt/QtPalmtop/apps/Applications/gwCalc but missing under the .../PIM/...gwCalc directory.  

Also, I think the "tasklist-applet_1" will be a nice addition to the 1.6 version of the Watapon.

thank you.
Zaf

Hi,
I am using the rom since 2 month a go. And I found it amazing.
However I realized that I have a problem with my WIfi card (w12). I 've seen that this was a issue time a go.
I am using 1.5.6
Any idea how to solve it?

I have another issue:
My zaurus processor is: PXA-255
Do I should use the disabled kernel?
Thanks
Jose

I installed the rotate application mentioned a few pages back, but I didn't like it. Is there a rotate application like the one on OZ? I am replacing an iPaq 4705. On that, I often have to rotate the screen without losing what I am working on. The rotate application previously mentioned closes any running applications and reloads the GUI. How can I rotate without closing all applications?

I've flashed 1.5.6 & have pretty promising results so far. First off, KUDOS!! Great rom. I love the default theme & the selection of packages is strong. It's so nice to have the kde pim apps again (I used them in OZ). FWIW the first thing I added were the openssh packages for remote connectivity. I added the ZUG feed, but there's no watapon feed on the ELSI yet. Anywhere else I can get stuff?

I managed to get connected with my wifi card, but only after disabling all security settings on my router & entering all non-specific settings on the Z. So that means to me it's not a driver problem. One thing I did notice though is that on the Config tab of the Network settings when I unselect Non-specific ESS-ID to enter the router's info, the only two network type selections available are Infrastructure & Ad-Hoc. IIRC I had to set the type to Managed when I was using OZ. Could that be the problem? (I'm no network wiz either, so this is just a shot in the dark )

As well, still no USB connection to speak of. Do I understand correctly that this is still an issue in 1.5.6?

thanks again

Hey grog what problems do you have with the SMC2642 card? I have it, I have 1.4.1 and everything is working fine. It's a little quirky sometimes but it works.

Hi TJRCHKA. My problem is basically what I outlined in my previous message, I have to disable WEP on my router to be able to connect. I think it might have something to do with the type selection not having managed available, but I don't know, and there's no place I can find to change that, so I'm stuck. What settings do you have on your own router that work?

My w12 (CF wireless card) used to work with 1.5.6, How ever I needed to reboot everyonce in a while in order to maintain it working. I do not know why, but the w12 make my Z semi-freeze, the screen images startsd for example to desapeard, like vanished. I just needed to eject the w12, an the Z cames to live again.
I believed that was a matter of modile-kernel, since I have a pxa 255, so now I am using watapon 1.5.6 but with the original kernel.
And my Z is working much better. It does not freeze, and thew12 is working better ( is not respoonding as use to do it with the original rom, but almost )

So may be the problem with the 1.5.6 and wireless card only appears in the Z with pxa 255.

Hope this help
