for opera
the ibm hack is from psion i think
http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?platform=symbian

they say
the buttons fail to load (fix below), local file browsing button hangs the application (how are we supposed to view our offline files if the local file browsing button doesn't work?)
----------------------------------
for nethack should work
but dont have time, sorry [ must work on my thesis ]
so found someone willing to try, and tell him/her to contact me

 

[ingeras]

thanks for the logo excess

when we have smc write support , we can try the swap file
but i think it would be too slow [ but we thaht maybe we could run bigger apps]

toholl is working on the sound driver know , the chipset is one used
in creative soundblaster live, but we dont have much doc

i am not a big fan of the ram upgrade [ quite hard , and it costs ... ]
i think that for the price of gp32 blu + chatboard + ram upgrade
you can have a zaurus ....
i use a non blu gp32 [ much cheaper]

 

[GPswe]

The web browser would be quite helpful for me even without a modem, for making websites, all I need now is a text editor that can save in html...

 

[Enslaved]

Ingeras, did you look at the virtual keyboard link?

 

[Tristan]

Using your SMC as RAM will effectively destroy it. Remember, an SMC has a limited amount of read/write cycles, and seeing as RAM changes very fast, you'll kill it fairly soon...

 

[khephren]

That isn't strictly true. Many SMC have a lifetime guarantee, and those that don't have a minimum of 10's of thousands of operations- way more than a floppy, and not far off older HD's. Even if you did get a bad sector after all those writes-it would just be marked corupt and the card would carry on regardless.

I want to try it out, but if I delete the extensions behind the names, the gp-link software won't copy it onto the GP32.
Do you use a other program to copy it (or a smc-writer), or am I doing something wrong...

Use gpDrive, to be found somewhere on this site. makes your GP32 act like a USB harddrive or something.

heres a little bug (?):
i copied all the files with a smc writer and it works fine.
but whenever i change (delete, overwrite, rename etc.) a file in gp:/gpmm/linux bootloader.fxe does not load the kernel anymore; it just crashes.
so whenever i change something in ../linux i have to load up the all the other files there again, so it works.
strange bug though... is this because of my smc writer? did anyone else have the same problem? while euro fw shows 0.1 seconds "loading kernel" and then crashed, bootload.fxe in pacrom doesnt even load.

nothing too big, but still quite annoying.

 

[DistWave]

Where could we find the squashfs patch for linux-2.4.13-gp32? The official site has patches for kernels 2.4.19 and up :huh:

I'd like to test my pad-keyboard kernel module with opie but my own kernels can't mount squashfs initrd...

 

[cyberic]

Hi

I've put the patch at http://cyberic.free.fr/squashfs1.3r3-patch-gp32linux

To compile the kernel, you have to use the toolkit provided at sourceforge.
Don't forget to get the latest files from the cvs too.

Good luck, and keep us informed!

i copied .......
===================================
>there is no bug, i use pacrom and rename / copy files serveral times / day !!!

>have you contacted toholl ?

-------------------------
quote / virtual keyboard /
-------------------------------------
very interesting , once cyberic got kdrive and mouse working
but for me it s useless, qt dont use xfree
i ve got my old linux slackware boox 1996
it says
" recomendded configuration for xfree 8MB ram ( and 8MB swap file ) "
so, we can have something fast if we used someting optimised
or ...something old

=============
i am testing kdrive from ipaq familiar
lets try to get that mouse working

[my net conexion is broken from saturday, hope they fix it tomorrow]

well i didnt mangage to make it work , maybe the mouse type is hardcoded
[ as for ipaq opie ] ...
xfree/kdrive seems fast ... have to test gtk applications ...

 

[GPswe]

I can't download it! When I open it, it says something about the file being corrupt and not having an extension. Can someone host the FXE by itself? Thank you.

 

[excess]

As ingeras said Zaurus binaries are compatible with the gp32.

erfumeta, from elotrolado.net explained to me the way he do it.

First download the app. Zaurus application are compressed into .ipk files.
You can decompress like tar file.

Inside the file there are three files. Decompress the data.tar.gz and put the files in /linux/bin in the smc.

Then edit start file:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#_______________OPIE TEST__________________________________
#cd /opt/QtPalmtop/bin
cd /mnt/gpmm/linux/bin

#__________________FIN VAR D ENVIRONNEMENT___________________________

#--------------------------------------------------
# RUN APPLICATIONS
#--------------------------------------------------
./sketches -qws

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the "RUN APPLICATIONS" section write the app's name.

Just boot.

I tried a simple drawing application and works.

I have win98SE <_<

 

[damaki]

You should get a USB mass storage driver. I guess this is what your looking for.

 

[Vimacs]

get hackd pc link, or (best choice) a cheap cardreader

 

[jegHegy]

or you could upload it to the SMC with an extension, and rename the file on the gp32 with COMI (you can find the download here on gp32x)
