**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Jun 28 02:59:57 2008 Jun 28 10:35:37 is there any reason that familiar should be a lot more responsive than angstrom? Jun 28 10:36:20 I tried to switch back to familiar because i keep finding packages arn't available in angstrom. Jun 28 10:37:09 Unfortunately the bluetooth and suspend refuse to work in familiar so I'll have to stick with angstrom. Meanwhile it struck me that familiar feels a lot faster Jun 28 18:13:23 I have a zaurus SL-6000L and am having no luck finding windows XP drivers.. anyone have a link or an idea what to do? Websites that come up with google point me to the 5500 not the 6k; usb drivers that is.. Jun 28 18:27:10 daeos: is this for the usb thing? Jun 28 18:27:37 i seem to remember in the deep recesses of my memory that an inf file is somewhere in the kernel source. Jun 28 18:27:52 don't quote me on that though. Jun 28 18:30:20 oh Jun 28 18:31:39 HRH_H_Crab: yeah other than that, do you know of a resource that hosts the driver? Jun 28 18:32:46 no Jun 28 18:32:51 infact, after i replied, Jun 28 18:33:00 i realise i don't really know what you mean! Jun 28 18:33:13 i assumed you meant just the ip over usb network thingy, Jun 28 18:33:25 yes, i want to attach the 6k to my windows xp machine Jun 28 18:33:26 in which case it may not matter if its 5500 or 6k Jun 28 18:33:31 oh really Jun 28 18:33:35 well... Jun 28 18:33:38 well i go through the hardware install wizard Jun 28 18:33:40 im not too sure how that works, Jun 28 18:33:48 and ive never tried it, Jun 28 18:33:48 and it says this driver does not match the hardware you are trying ot install Jun 28 18:34:02 so windows refuses to use it Jun 28 18:34:09 but im guessing all that driver does is tell it how to do ip over usb. Jun 28 18:34:10 hmmm. Jun 28 18:34:25 bascially i just want ot use it to connect the z6k to my wxp machine Jun 28 18:34:28 i plug it in Jun 28 18:34:32 i get a driver request Jun 28 18:34:47 i use the info from the webste, i'v downloaded the install cd Jun 28 18:34:52 which is 5500 drivers Jun 28 18:34:57 and it gives me an error Jun 28 18:35:48 what website are you looking at Jun 28 18:35:49 ? Jun 28 18:36:45 http://www.sharpusa.com/products/TypeSoftware/0,1086,112,00.html Jun 28 18:36:58 aaah.... Jun 28 18:37:09 so you are using sharp firmware? Jun 28 18:37:12 yes this is suppose to be the right one Jun 28 18:37:35 that i am not sure of... my brother install PDAxROM Jun 28 18:37:44 or pdaXrom however you put it Jun 28 18:38:07 i just want to have it attach, not caring about the sharp qdesktop thingy Jun 28 18:38:41 if not imma have one heck of a time trying to get the wireless working.. Jun 28 18:39:11 well, i dont think i can help you much. Jun 28 18:39:28 i only really know about angstrom and the clamshells! :P Jun 28 18:39:35 and even then im far from being an expert. Jun 28 18:39:51 i see Jun 28 18:40:10 how difficult would it be to intall Angstrom on to this z6k ? Jun 28 18:40:23 no idea Jun 28 18:40:32 it should be docmented on the website Jun 28 18:40:43 its easy enough to install it on the newer z's Jun 28 18:41:24 ok i'll go check it out Jun 28 18:41:34 i'd just hate to have to install something new Jun 28 18:41:38 when its working ok Jun 28 18:41:42 just no network access Jun 28 18:41:48 http://linuxtogo.org/gowiki/TosaInstall Jun 28 18:41:53 if i was you, Jun 28 18:41:57 i would lurk here for a while, Jun 28 18:42:03 and figure out if anyone uses a tosa. Jun 28 18:43:08 it looks pretty promising though. Jun 28 18:43:23 ok Jun 28 18:43:26 yeah it does seem so Jun 28 18:43:34 i'll want to know how much of the device is supported Jun 28 18:43:49 and if its good im sure my brother will be happy to have something better Jun 28 18:45:10 well i knew that one of that style of z was (at least) a bit "glitchy" but it looks like that is collie (5500) so you could be o.k. Jun 28 18:45:32 i have no idea what angstrom is like on any other z, Jun 28 18:45:57 but i have a c3200 and a buffalo cf wifi card. Jun 28 18:46:12 it works without any farting around, just by configuring the gui wifi network tools. Jun 28 18:46:22 i see Jun 28 18:46:27 so i've never really explored usb networking! Jun 28 18:46:37 im conserned about his available storage... Jun 28 18:46:41 128 sd and 512 cf Jun 28 18:46:47 MB Jun 28 18:46:58 yeah Jun 28 18:47:00 forget that. Jun 28 18:47:09 go and buy a 4GB cf! Jun 28 18:47:13 lol Jun 28 18:47:17 or at least a 1GB sd. Jun 28 18:47:21 short on cash Jun 28 18:47:23 would have to wait Jun 28 18:47:30 i guess he got what would fit on his small card Jun 28 18:47:33 cards* Jun 28 18:47:35 yeah but they aren't that expensive. Jun 28 18:47:42 i have 4GB cf card now, Jun 28 18:47:53 and if id thought id have that when i actually bought my z, Jun 28 18:47:56 i would go mad! Jun 28 18:48:08 (that doesnt make much sense) Jun 28 18:48:14 well Jun 28 18:48:17 what i mean is, that wasnt even invented when i first got my z, Jun 28 18:48:19 he got his on a nice discount online Jun 28 18:48:26 i see Jun 28 18:48:27 and if it was id have expected to pay a stupid amount of money. Jun 28 18:49:00 i think i paid for my 4GB 30GBP Jun 28 18:49:09 about the same as two music cds! Jun 28 18:49:10 :P Jun 28 18:49:22 lemme check for usd Jun 28 18:49:38 (well two import cds anyway) Jun 28 18:49:58 look online you'll find a good deal for sure. Jun 28 18:50:16 sd memory is stupidly cheap now. Jun 28 18:51:19 yeah Jun 28 18:51:23 the sd is Jun 28 18:51:32 not sure if this thing will read those HD sd cards Jun 28 18:52:06 2GB CF is 39.99 USD Jun 28 18:54:15 well i was talking rubbish before. Jun 28 18:54:24 its actually my sd which is a whopping 4GB Jun 28 18:54:25 not cf Jun 28 18:54:53 and although i wont guarantee your purchase, i think it should be o.k. Jun 28 18:55:07 oh i see Jun 28 18:55:09 that wiki says 2.6.23 with 2.6.24 coming soon. Jun 28 18:55:14 oh i see Jun 28 18:55:15 hrm... Jun 28 18:55:16 im pretty sure they can deal with 2GB sd. Jun 28 18:55:33 when i boot xrom it says ....2.8 ? weird huh? Jun 28 18:55:38 let me check again Jun 28 18:55:40 uname right? Jun 28 18:55:45 uname -a Jun 28 18:56:24 it says.. Jun 28 18:57:02 Linux zaurus 2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix then the time and a armv5tel unknown Jun 28 18:57:53 so... 2.6 i know is gonna be a big footprint on memory.. i'll look at SD cards... Jun 28 18:58:01 i figure.. those are slower right? Jun 28 18:58:03 sd over cf ? Jun 28 18:58:23 either should be fine. Jun 28 18:58:28 kingston cf 2 gb at 21.99 Jun 28 18:58:32 ah Jun 28 18:58:38 kingston 4gb for 44.99 Jun 28 18:58:40 id go sd Jun 28 18:58:43 i think its cheaper. Jun 28 18:58:51 cf 4gb Jun 28 18:58:52 2.6 shouldnt be a lot bigger, Jun 28 18:58:55 hrm Jun 28 18:59:01 well 768 MB isn't enough huh? Jun 28 18:59:02 but it will be an amazing amount better. Jun 28 18:59:02 lol Jun 28 18:59:12 it could actually work, Jun 28 18:59:19 you would prob. get a console only image on there. Jun 28 18:59:28 hrm Jun 28 18:59:32 but that might not appeal unless you are a console head! Jun 28 18:59:33 :P Jun 28 18:59:35 was hoping to play prdoom :) Jun 28 18:59:42 not much Jun 28 18:59:49 just like to have it if i need it Jun 28 18:59:58 well im not sure if thats available under angstrom! :P Jun 28 18:59:58 i know my way around console Jun 28 19:00:03 ha Jun 28 19:00:12 prdoom/lxdoom/freedoom Jun 28 19:00:23 running pr here right now.. pretty good on this little guy Jun 28 19:02:47 but i'll see if anyone else has run it on a Tosa Jun 28 19:24:36 HRH_H_Crab: have you seen a usb cable connection like on the bottom of the 6k? Jun 28 19:30:49 not recently Jun 28 19:31:09 i once saw one of those old zaurus, and it had a cradle type attachment iirc. Jun 28 19:31:31 so you plugged the cradle into the computers usb port, Jun 28 19:31:43 and the z sat in the cradle to charge / transmit data Jun 28 19:38:41 right Jun 29 01:52:07 anyone install this on a TOSA? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Jun 29 02:59:56 2008
