If flashing the 6000 is the same as the C machines then you need to rename zImage to zImage.bin, that said, it may not be the same.

On GPE :
The touch screen doesn't work at all. Is it right ? During the first boot the procedure tell me to calibrate the touch screen, i calibrate it but when the GPE desktop is loaded no icons can be selected with the pen, and the arrow of the mouse is always locked..... so i can't open any app and using the keyboard is very diffucult...

Why Touch screen doesn't work ?
I thought touch screen was ok now....Thanks

Touch screen is working correctly on OPIE but no on any of my current GPE roms right now...Something in the calibaration is not working correctly so it does not have any information for the setting...I have not done a build in over a week and I am hoping that something figured out how to include the fix they found for OPIE into GPE...The way I currently uses GPE is to login, bring up a root-terminal(can can uses the dpad to navigate through the icons), run "/etc/init.d/gpe-dm stop"(Use tab to get the dash), then start /etc/X11/Xserver & x-terminal, then click ont he xterm and type gpe-login...this can give you a working gpe...

I am hoping to get a new build tonight...I will let people know when I have more...I will also try to get the tar ball correct this time...

ok, nevarrie thank you very much ....

Could you suggest me :

I've tried both of them, and i like GPE very much.....

I have fixed my tar files on www.thegrantclan.org/download/zaurus/roms/tosa/ so that the zImage file is really the kernel image not the GPE image...so the tar files should work better now...I also have some of the ipk that I uses in /download/zaurus/ipkg/tosa/ like konqueror-embedded, bash, BitchX, and vim...though you can get most of this from the openzaurus feed I believe also...

I am not sure there is a correct anwser for this...

I really want to be able to uses gpe, but I also see my Z as a portable computer...though currently gpe needs some work before it is going to be usable by most people...

I have found OPIE to be really nice and most things are working on the 6k already...I found Konqueror-embedded a little harder to uses then opera, and a problem I have with suspnd has been my only real problems with OPIE...

I am hoping to get tot he point that OPIE can replace the sharp rom on my 6k till I can get GPE to the point it does everything I need...

My sugestion would be OPIE if you want usablitly...And GPE if you do not mind fiddling a little bit to make things work...

Suggestion for opie on the C6000: start the jffs2 image at 0x00220000 to gain an additional 4 Mo that would otherwise be lost.

I want my Zaurus to be a portable computer, it is very important for me and my work !
So i will use OPIE.....hoping it will be the substitute to standard sharp rom !!!

What kind of ipkg can i use under OPIE ???

May i use packages from openzaurus ?

i see there is  Opie Player 2 . is it runs on sl 6000 l ?

IS it possible using guylhem kernel patch for overclock sl6000l under opie ???

Sorry for theese questions but i 'm new in ZAURUS  WORLD......

I am not sure if this is possable or not...if someone can show me how this would be done then I am sure it could be added...what I see as a problem is does the initrd have to start at 0x00440000 so that when booting the kernel can find the image?

All; yes; possibly, but it seems to segfault on my 750 so I'd try xmms instead.

The ones I have tried have all worked excpt for the Opie-mediaplayer1...I never really looked into why it was not working yet...

I would think it shoudl be able to work though I have not tried...

yes...I have put this kernel on my 6000 when I was runnign opie...did not have time to really pay with it when I flashed it but it did boot...

How do I get back in to the gui from the terminal??
