Most important missing/to be fixed in pdaXrom?

[hackfixer]

Bluetooth support in pdaXrom has been frustrating in that the hardware is changing faster than the drivers. I bought 3 bluetooth CF cards and it seems theres no drivers for them yet.
My request would be to keep your eyes open for new drivers that can be included.

I don't think anyone's mentioned explicitly that that brighness up and down keys should work by default.  At the moment the only thing that affects brightness whether the battery or mains is being used, but brightness needs to be set for the ambient lighting as well as for current drain considerations.

Keys that are actually printed on the keyboard should work wherever possible - otherwise it's a bit of an embarrassment to have to explain to someone that what you see is not what you get.  So to add to the brightness keys are the caps lock and delete.  I can understand that the zoom keys would be difficult, so will let you off on those!  I don't know about Cut, Copy and Paste, as they already work with CTRL rather than Fn.

I would like to be able to switch the power off from the keyboard, rather than fumbling around the back for the off button.

i think they are currently using Fn + 1-0 keys as F1-F10
so unless they use another key + 1-0 key to map to F1-F10, otherwise there would be key conflicts

[gromituk]

Ah, OK.  I see the concept but I don't think it's in use at the moment because Fn doesn't modify the behaviour of the digit keys.  How about using one of the Japanese keys instead?  But mapping digits to function keys is in itself flawed because there is no equivalent of F11 and F12.  How about brightness up and down functions which can be mapped to any key?

2. applet to adjust sound volume??

What's wrong with the existing volume control applet?

Hello

First i want to think you (all the team) for this great job

My hope for the next release of pdaxrom is the contorol of font size

...remainder deleted to save BW


Ditto!

Most important thing on my list is..   Streaming music.. and being able to play fullscreen video in X (even if movie size isn't exaclty 320x240)

[Laze]

Im glad to report that many, many, many of the listed issues are going to be fixed - so just hang on tight and do keep posting your request in here - but please check that they haven't already been posted before posting.

Also better wi fi configuration (simple scan for broadcasting SSID's would be nifty)

I am a self employed consultant and use my Z with Abiword to write loads of letters for doctors and colleagues etc. I don't get it, am I the only one who wants to be able to point my Z at my printer and press print?

Mostly, I would love to have printing facilities through the USB, Wireless and IR ports.

I also want a GUI to remap the keyboard and silk screen buttons.

In general I agree with most of the previous wishes.

I would be happy to compile any X11 apps that I needed - if I knew how to compile programs. Is it difficult to compile for X11 - can you make it as easy as possible? This is probably related to the request for Debian package rules and directory hierarchy structure.

Also, alarms throught KO/PI alarm applet (not really an OS feature but don't know where else to request it.)

Also standard Z-Rom apps through X11 would be excellent. just think of all of those zaurus application we could get access to. Loads of database servers and other great progs. (Or, can MySQL be compiled for the Z)

How about a Java VM. I would love to write programs for a hobby and Java appeals. Plus lots of Java apps to use.

How about KDE or Gnome apps? I suspect this is too much really. Its just that I would love to be able to use the same progs on my linux box as I use on my Z.

Definately want a DOS emulator (again not rellay an OS request)

Mostly, let me thank all the team for such a great job so far and I hope your next release is just as successful. RC5 is very , very good. Well done. (detect note of jealousy, I wish I could do what you can do)

I am going to be a bit lame and reiterate on a couple requests made first, but only since they seem essential:
 * support for non-root users
 * keyboard mouse control
 * another pdf reader
 * a gui for keyboard bindings
 * precompiled alternative to matchbox, preferably something that better supports multiple desktops
 * alternatives for default install, light/heavy apps

And a couple new ones:
 * support for screensaver (with password lock)
 * if not a taskbar from which you can call minimized apps, the "active tasks" folder on the menu
 * df applet for internal and removable flash
 * network traffic monitor applet- heck, why not just support gkrellm?
 * more alternatives for the install partition setup, including larger root partition, /home on removeable flash, etc
 * gui and support for creating/automatically mounting swap files on removable flash.

Precompiled support for (I know that some of these might be asking for much):
 * sudo
 * vpn
 * vnc
 * better nfs support - portmapper? autofs?
 * ntp
 * ypbind
 * syslog
 * apache

Some of these I will work to crosscompile myself as I can.

pdaXrom rocks!  It brings my c860 as close to a minilaptop as I could desire (well, ok, I have been thinking about a FEW things...)

sudo and apache are in the unstable feed :

[Sna]

a real missing thing is simply a working taskbar with active tasks

[murple]

I'd really like to see the spectrum drivers patched for monitor mode support.  I keep a second card just for kismet.

Also when I "hide" the taskbar it only hides the icons, not the bar itself.

that stuff would make my day

Polish fonts PLEASE!!!
