Feedback for RC5

[grmmpf]

Hi y'all,

so I just got my first Zaurus (c860) and had to try some ROMs out. I started out with Cacko, jumped to PdaXrom and now I'm back at Cacko. Actually I prefer the RC5. Great ROM !!!

Now some feedback for the developers (maybe to implement
in Kathrin-final ?).
   
- I only had a 50MB root, therefore I tried to install to my
  SD-Card. I formatted it using ext2. Having had problems with
  the graphical package manager (errors installing), I switched to
  CLI and changed ipkg.conf to
   dest root /mnt/card
   dest tmpinst /mnt/card/home/tmp/ipkg/inst
  (btw. even though I did this change, every start of the package manager
  returns the file to its defaults)
  after doing an ipkg-link mount /mnt/card I could install without
  errors. But:
   starting xmahjongg:
      xmahjongg: relocation error: undefined symbol: __umodsi3
   starting firefox:
      /usr/lib/mozilla-1.6/run-mozilla.sh: line 159: 23253 Bus error  "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
   starting Frozen Bubble:
      starts,makes sounds and renders the system unusable. No response
                whatsoever except some sound and some animation; had to do a
                ctrl-alt-BS

- the screen shivering on the scrollbar of ATerm drove me nuts

- the system sometimes became unresponsive for upto 30 seconds when
  I tried to start an application

- Matchbox-Desktop sometimes took all the CPU-Power by itself

- scrolling the cursor in Scite is difficult since it is
  impossible to follow him when holding down the key.

- why did you use Calendar for ctrl and Address for Alt? I think it is
  more useful to use the 2 japanese keys on the left of the dash for
  that purpose (like Cacko)

- another wish: please use the font-resizing keys (fn-1 and fn-2) as
  well as the light dimmer (fn-3 and fn-4)

- what about implementing the keyhelper-applet like in cacko to
  support for example german umlauts
 
Greetings,
Karsten

I don't see the problem of having only 50MB root, the applications I tried worked
nicely when installed to /mnt/user which is the "non root" part of the internal flash.
maybe this should go in the FAQ if it is not allready

Most probably these apps are not recompiled for RC5 use the apps from the rc5 and unstable feed.

I can see myself having some trouble to do a  C-z or C-x with this setup.
