A few questions about current (RC5) version
« on: October 08, 2004, 10:37:22 am »
It sounds like PDAXROM is getting tantalising close to being what I want to run but I have a few questions....

Does your libSDL stuff actually run under X ? - can I just do a regular build of most SDL stuff (assuming no OpenGL etc.) and will it run ? - Tried PDAXROM 1.0.5 and found that things like ScummVM you had to drop out of X to run. - A bit offputting.

Are the latest versions of KDEPIM/Pi, KoPI, KaPI etc. available for PDAXROM. If so then I could put up with whatever synchronising quirks there may be and run that.

In all seriousness my most useful bit of stuff that my Z runs is QwikiWiki and it sounds like all the Apache bits are ready to go and I would get a much better browser on the Z to work with the Wiki on board - My necessary config though would mean a reasonable number of manual steps to get everything back up and running that I need under PDAX that I have under Cacko. Are there relatively simple update steps between RCs or is it a blow it away and start again approach with each update ?

Regards,

Andy

Oh and do you know if you can suspend/resume without having to start up X ?, like if you are in a hurry to put the Z away.

I know that the power button doesn't work on 1.0.5 when you are just runnning the console.

Cool, I know there were some suspend/resume quirks with various versions. have you tried this with RC5 or is this from 1.0.5 ?

Actually apologies if you are thinking 'Why doesn't this guy just try it'. I've got quite a lot of stuff on my ext3 SD card which is the only thing that I have that's big and fast enough for me to NAND backup onto.

Just want to be sure that I'm not heading into a 4 hour round trip to nothing if I have to tar everything off (or maybe dd it), reformat to FAT, NAND backup, install, try all the things that I want to try and then decide I'm into my rollback position.

All responses greatly appreciated.

Thanks again Alan,

Anyone got any ideas on the SDL stuff ?

+ Anyone know if a 512Mb SD card is enough to do any reasonable porting stuff with the onboard dev kit ? (sick of apps that take a LOT of hacking to cross compile)

I'm itching to have a go at getting ClanLib working with SDL and seeing if we can finally get Pingus working. - sorry but Gnus just doesn't hack it graphically.

i manly use abi word ,dilo, gaim, calculato, and aterm.
you may want to wait if you have that much work on your current rom. there will be updates later.

All those icons come standard except for the Doom icon, I found that on the web somewhere.

OK,

Getting to the point of going through my Cacko ROM install and working out what I can do without for a while if the release cycle means losing everything each time I update PDAXROM.

One thing though, is anyone actually running the kdepim stuff ?, does it alarm ? I know there was a seperate applet for Qtopia to make it do this.

I think I've gotta go kdepim, certainly for the address book. Took a look at the standard AB application for Kathrin on my desktop machine... can't believe that they chose one that doesn't have 'Company Name'.

Good luck!

I can't say anything about the PIM elements of pdaxrom, I never use them.
