Kathrin RC3 ready..

[Laze]

So we have finished the next RC - this time RC3 - too tired to write anything long and fancy - btw. there is also a native SDK included.

Download here:
www.pdaXrom.org
Mirrors are comming soon..
RC feed is not updated yet.

New users should flash entire - RC2 users should be able to use the upgrade functions from the flashing menus in ROM updater :-) Update: - Sorry looks like the update function did make it into the RC3 - please just flash entire ROM.

As always you can show your appreciation of our work by using banners or donating :-)

Quick change and fix list:
- Native SDK
- OSS mixer: https://www.oesf.org/forums/inde...indpost&p=40772
- Better "profile/settings" loader/selector for network/looknfeel etc.
- New top graphics after rebooting and flashing
- Suspend/resume in rotated make "jumble" on screen (xrefresh)
- SciTE not in the panel menu
- Small fonts in calibration - should be bigger
- F1-F10 support - mapped to the fn+F1-fn+F10 keys
- PageUp/Down - mapped to the fn+Arrow Up/Arrow Down keys
- Home/end - mapped to fn+Arrow Left/Arrow Right keys
- Improved Startx and mbsession with less errors and warnings
- Fonts problems in startx script
- console font for Aterm
- Right shift working again
- Suspend/Resume and then suspend again bug fixed
- Volume applet fails to load and set volume after restarting gui with look & feel settings
- Volume applet causes "an error" on startx load - it seems to be an gtk error

Bugreport fixes:
mplayer-1.0pre3try2 Bus error when run on C860
request ext3 and reiserfs kernel modules ...
mplayer doesn't run 320x240 fullscreen mode
(use: xrandr -s 1 | mplayer movie.avi - then press Shift+Alt+Right for move video window on free desktop and press key 'f'
Can't exit X cleanly after suspend
Various look & feel app and panel glitches
Huge security hole with SSH
ALT doesn't work in terminal.
Menu button Opening the Matchbox
Volume Control applet sometimes hang
Xrom too root-centric
Font problems, at least in Qt applications
IPKG script bug
weirdness when suspending from gui
Right shift key doesn't work on C750
Script based ipkg is still a bit flakey
Undefined symbols on existing packages
gaim segfaults
Vorbis shared library missing


Ps. Tomorrow more and better information will be put online - this is just for really for hardcore testers :-)

just one thing: what do you mean with "upgrading"?

[Laze]

From the flash menu in our flasher you should be able to use the upgrade function instead of flashing it all again.

hello, i accidentaly used the "remove 64 mb limit from loader" on my c750 i now i can t use ashley patch no more to get a full 57mb /root,it complains about " flash pattern not recognized"
 any way to fix that besides a full nand backub flash? (if so where could i find one nand backup for my 750)
Can i use RC3 to make a full 57mb /root?

[scoutme]

couldn't wait - just reflashed from RC2 to RC3

upgrade voice in the installation menu was "not implemented yet..."

going to test it

[Laze]

The RC2 and RC3 should need no modifications or anything to alter the root size - so yes.. Please just use the included tools in the flash menu of our rom flasher..

[Laze]

ooohhhh btw. here is our current todo list:

Code: [Select]

- How do I get "Caps. Lock" function? (Fn + Tab doesn't work)
- How do I get "Del" function? (Fn + Backspace doesn't work)
- filenames with spaces and special chars should be supported in all programs
- Better flashing install instructions, Guide :-)
- Name for keyboard switcher applet (adding/removing it from panel is has different names)
- Speed issues on 750
- load power settings in /etc/rc.d/*.
- Update clock when out of suspend
- Fonts are huge in rotated mode in the apps
- Wireless strength applet is broken
- Horizontal gradient support in matchbox-desktop
- Clear screen after login?

New system tool:
    pppdialer/pppconfig
    overclocking program
    Make system info tool/Cardinfo
    silkscreen keyboard config.
    qipkg/packager manager?

Just downloaded the rom, trying to use the upgrade function -- when I choose 'Upgrade previous pdaXrom (>=1.1.0)', it still says 'Not finished yet...'

Still have to reflash the entire thing, I guess

p.s. Overnight testing rocks

[ikm]

WOW, xrandr now supports QVGA (320x240)! Now that's really an IMPROVEMENT! Finally pdaXrom meets first class gaming and multimedia. THANK YOU!

Ok people, I'm going to update ScummVM package shortly. I will also compile a fresh dosbox.

And yes, I'm looking forward to donate a hundred bucks once I finally get my credit card reissued.

Installing the 'fonts' package breaks X -- it will no longer start, complaining about the 'fixed' font missing. The origins of the problem are quite simple really -- overwritten files, but as I started to document the way to fix the problem I ran into some strange stuff here. I guess I will elaborate on the matter tomorrow, for I really feel tired now.

For now, people, just don't install 'fonts' if you have no familiarity with the fonts in X.

p.s. This rom looks very nifty! But I really have to take a break and have some sleep at the moment

[sashz]

new x fonts in new feed - ttf webfonts and crox cyrillic package. Basic fixed fonts and verdana webfont already in the rom.

I did the same thing, but haven't done a NAND restore yet. I've been limited to a 45 root partition. Let me know if NAND restore works for you. You can find the NAND backups here

In RC2 after I removed the 64 MB limit there was no need to use the Ashley patch. It or something similar was built in, and I got one large partition. You might want to try going ahead without running the patch before you retreat to NAND backups. I believe there is a bit more on this point in the RC2 thread.

I was posting it...


installing Minimo results in a fonts pkg installation, with the bad effects ikm pointed out






a question about the on-board sdk: I tried to compile some simple c code (tcp sockets stuff) and the compiler couldn't recognize bcopy, strerror ecc (with correct includes before). Any hint?
