OpenZaurus, OZ on the 6000

I noticed that suspending pressing the On/Off button begins a suspend/resume loop. I needed to reset to stop it. But suspending from the Opie menu is just fine.
That sounds exactly like the bug the released version of the clamshell kernel has. piro created a patch that fixes that behaviour. It is a part of the piro.patch and probably doesn't apply to the Tosa hardware, but could perhaps be easily adjusted to also work there. Anyone who wants to have a look at that?

Hy Nevarrie i've
Tested WLAN ... works very well....

i've set all up from terminal, i know the gui doesento work yet.

i surf the web using KOnquerrorr..sometimes there is SIGSEGV error ......(I.E try to connect to google and i receive the error) other sites works well....

I try to update package-manager list and this work well even if i  didint' install any packages (

i'm using http://www.linuxtr.net/oe/feed/tosa/ for updating ( i see in OpenZaurus this is the root for SL6000 support...)

Hey,

i'm new to the SL-6000L, also i used a SL-5500 long time before. Some questions for the Opie-Img:

1. Why do i get everytime an error if i download a package from a feed (tosa feed or 3.5.1 feed as well) The Error is "invalid magic". I use opie-aqpkg and tried opie-packagemanager too. The command line version of ipkg writes the same Error message.

2. On SL-5500 i used /mnt/ram to install my packages. On the SL-6000 /mnt/ram is a tmpfs and /home seems to be the place to install packages on the Zaurus. The problem is that ipkg-link did not recognize /home correctly. What can i do?

Thx for the helping and for ignoring my grammar errors ;-)

Sounds like you are trying to install OZ packages with an ancient version of ipkg.

Thx now it works. I just reflashed Sharp ROM and after being aware that this ROM still sux ;-) I flashed back to OPIE and all works perfectly. OK some error here and there but not big ones.
I changed the /mnt/ram in fstab to /dev/mtdblock3 and my home to tmpfs. (what is this???) So i have 32MB more space.

The Errors i came across:

the german Display Keyboard is bigger than the screen (in portrait).

there are some graphical errors (like said in the Mailing List)

and the performance of the display is not very good (very slow scrolling)

And last but not least one more question:

Where is the switch to mute the speaker? Or is the speaker mute when Headphones plugged in?

Thx Bedman

I have installed ROM from http://www.thegrantclan.org/download/zaurus/roms/tosa/  
Problems:
In Opie and GPE I have graphical rubbish appearing in the screen. Some multicolored lines and dots.
Is there any way to fix it?

Also is there any hope to get touchscreen working in GPE?

There is some mistery with GPE. Once you flas it everything works BUT with no detection of pointer on touchscreen.
Nevertheless, if you go to the black console, presing FN+Del, at least four times, and launch Xfbdev from the console, the X's appear with nothing on it, but the pointer works. What is this stuff. If just it was possible to have a term in this screen, surely we could mount Debian or any other thing using this Xserver. Anyone has tryied it?

The way I currently uses gpe is to login, bring up a  root console, run /etc/init.d/gpe-dm stop.  This puts me to a console.  Then I run "/etc/X11/Xserver & x-terminal".  From the xterm then run gpe-login.   This will give you a working gpe system with a few problems, like suspend does not always return.  Not the easist way to run your Z but it was a waay I could do testing...

Hi nevarrie,
I have tried GPE acording with your suggestions. I have tried also chroot with Debian.
The first thing to say is that the new GPE distribution is really nice. I would like it a lot...if it worked. It seems difficult to understand why the pointer doesn't work in standard mode. The same can be said about the wi-fi.
Debian runs badly and collapses very soon.
Summarazing, there is a lot of work to be done yet and we must let the creators one more year to finish tbeir work.
Xqt with Debian runs perfectly well changing from QT's to X's at une click and maintaining all the advantages of both. Perhaps with GPE it would be quicker...

Hello all,
I gave OZ/Opie and OZ/GPE 3.5.2 a try and both work. 3.5.2 seems much more polished and stable. See the OZ homepage for sources.

So far the only glitch I've run into is Opie will hang on mounting/unmounting media, not sure what I can do about it though..

Cheers, JJ

I'm currently using OZ/Opie 3.5.2 on a SL-6000, and I have the same problem... little vertical lines popping up, esp. when scrolling and such. I've seen something like this a while ago on my desktop while it was running X11, but I can't, for the life of me, remember the fix I found. Anyone know anything about this?
