03:14.15dhrkevin': I didn't realize that sl-c3200 has USB 2, high speed.
03:15.00Kevin`dhr I think I read that it does.. i'll look at stuff if you want
03:15.35dhrnot urgent.  The kind of info I file away for when I contemplate choice of devices.
03:15.48Kevin`bieng in this channel.. are there any normal window managers available for OZ? (I don't like gpe)
03:16.07Kevin`i've been using pdaxrom but it has other problems :/
03:16.51dhrI'm not really up to speed on the choices.  Perhaps Ubuntu or OpenBSD ports take that approach.
03:17.22dhrThere is an enlightenment port of some kind.  Don't know what that is like.
03:17.24Kevin`I didn't know there was an ubuntu port O_o
03:18.36Kevin`I never really liked bsd for some reason
03:19.23dhrI think I read that there was a ubunto port started.  Not sure.  I'm not interested because it would be a bit ungainly on the Z, I think.
03:20.00JustinPdhr: they say that all of the Cxx00 have USB2 on some sites
03:20.18JustinPdhr: the 3000 absolutely does not have USB2 and I really doubt the 3200 is different
03:20.25JustinPe17 works fine in OZ
03:20.48JustinPKevin`: e17 is a "normal" wm and works well (although it's "pre-alpha")
03:20.58JustinPKevin`: I believe fluxbox is there too but I don't know anything about it
03:21.45Kevin`how do you not install gpe.. or start an X server without it?
03:22.22Kevin`I tried building up what I wanted from the minimal version, but there weren't any packages related to that
03:23.30JustinPsure there are
03:23.34JustinPinstall the e-image...
03:23.44JustinPor install bootstrap and install e-wm and entrance
03:23.58JustinPor ask me nicely to build you an e-image ;-)
03:24.30Kevin`well that won't be neccisary if installing bootstrap then e-wm will work.. but I didn't see any packages for the X server itself
03:24.36Kevin`I suppose I could just try it..
03:24.58JustinPxserver-kdrive
03:25.28JustinPinstall task-e-x11
03:25.56Kevin`obtaining install files..
03:26.31JustinP"ipkg install xserver-kdriver task-e-x11"
03:27.07Kevin`I have to install OZ first.. will be a moment
03:27.48JustinPyou may also want the other packages in here: http://www.openembedded.org/repo/org.openembedded.oz354x/packages/meta/e-image.bb
03:27.48Kevin`I wonder why I didn't see those packages looking through the list before..
03:30.45Kevin`oh, what are the packages for a standard dev envioronment, while i'm at it (gcc, make, and all)
03:37.42Kevin`mount: special device 192.168.182.3/media does not exist
03:37.50JustinPgcc, gcc-symlinks, binutils, binutils-symlinks, make, automake, autoconf
03:37.58Kevin`oh, :
03:38.10JustinPyou may also want coreutils, findutils, grep
03:38.19JustinPthe busybox versions leave something to be desired
03:38.27Kevin`indeed
03:40.56tanqi wonder how many more days until my sd card gets here..
03:41.06tanqi should have just went to fry's and bought it.
03:41.35Kevin`sd storage?
03:41.39tanqyeah.
03:41.54Kevin`yeah you should have =p common thing

06:02.59Kevin`how can I switch , and / on that key? I use / far more often then ,
06:03.26Kevin`or put one of them on an unused key, I suppose
06:03.37Kevin`if there are any
06:05.58pgasthere is a kernel keymap somewhere in /etc where you can change this (sorry I cannot be more precise)
06:07.16Kevin`how do you determine what code is what key
06:10.53pgasnot sure (I use xev in X) but you'll find out rather easily if you find and open the keymap file ;)
06:11.42Kevin`what do the 'compose' lines mean
06:13.10pgasman loadkeys  ( http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?loadkeys+1 )
06:14.28pgason the zaurus it probably defines the outcome of Fn+key
06:16.22Kevin`dont quite have a web browser yet ;)
06:20.44pgashey :)
06:20.46pgas<PROTECTED>
06:20.47pgas<PROTECTED>
06:21.13Kevin`eh? whats ccedilla
06:22.17pgasç <- do you see this char?
06:22.29Kevin`a and a squiggly
06:22.39pgasit's a c with a comma underneath
06:22.48Kevin`heh :)
06:22.56pgasit produces the sound 's' in french
06:23.28Kevin`well i'm using the normal OZ console right now, with ssh
06:24.18pgasit can also be me i'm also connected through ssh... and I'm not sure what coding problems I have
06:24.40Kevin`how do you calibrate the stylus? I just tried Xfbdev, clicked, then the X dissapeared somewhere
06:25.06pgasyou have gpe?
06:25.07Kevin`also fn+leftright didnt change vty
06:25.13Kevin`no
06:25.24pgasyeah, in X you have to use chvt in a console
06:25.46Kevin`is there a way to fix that too? :)
06:25.55pgashmm there is a tool but I don't know it's name....it generally does it with a normal install
06:26.11Kevin`I am using the minimal install, whatever thats called
06:26.32Kevin`don't really like gpe
06:27.00pgashmm, patch the Xserver? or perhaps bind Fn+left to chvt?
06:27.13pgasKevin`: it's probably called tscalibrate or something
06:27.53Kevin`I see an xtscal package that looks the most promising
06:28.47Kevin`ipkg takes rather long before it figures out exactly what to download and install
06:31.21pgasyeah, Oz claim that it's due to the big number of packages in the feed...I suspect that there is something not optimal in ipkg (for instance greping the name is very fast) but as I am not going to do anything about it....
06:32.13Kevin`apt figures it out somehow :)

06:33.22pgaswell, you should also take into account that it is design to save spaces
06:34.13pgasyast finds packages almost instantly after a search (compared to synaptic) but I guess it stores a big index somewhere
06:34.54Kevin`root@spitz:~# xtscal
06:34.54Kevin`Can't open XFT font
06:34.54Kevin`Could not init font path element /usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc, removing from list!

06:37.22dhrkevin': when I said that I thought there was a ubuntu port for Z, I was misremembering.  A debian port, but not very active http://people.debian.org/~mdz/zaurus/
06:38.55Kevin`why can't I launch X programs? :/
06:39.01pgasdhr: http:°wiki.debian.org/PocketWorkstation
06:39.39pgasKevin`: you have a 3200 ?
06:39.43Kevin`yes
06:40.13pgassave your time install the gpe image and cope with the extra kilos of the gpe apps you will not use
06:40.33Kevin`heh I suppose..
06:40.44Kevin`how can I not start gpe then
06:40.58pgasbesides you can also ipkg remove a package
06:40.58Kevin`I want to use a different window manager, from 'startx' like command if possible
06:42.21pgaswell chmod -x /etc/init.d/gpe-login (or something I don't  rember the name of the gpe login manager) will prevent it to run
06:43.33Kevin`couldn't I just install the same packages that are in the gpe image and get an equivalent setup?
06:44.34Kevin`(I don't really want to do that, but looking at the list and comparing it would be helpful)
06:44.40pgasprobably but you'll spend a lot of time to try to figure out which packages you need
06:44.54pgasand which you don't need
06:45.56pgaswhen you got a browser see this thread http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=20340 about changing the wm
06:46.40Kevin`I suppose I can use links, sitting on my server now so I could use X and still have a console (ssh)
06:47.39pgasinstall screen so that you can have multiple terminal
06:48.37pgasIf you don't know about 'Gnu screen' spend some time to learn about it now!
06:49.13Kevin`i'm using it now, heh, I have 4 windows open in this screen session
06:49.32Kevin`one for irc, one I just closed, one for the zaurus, one for links
06:49.58pgasyou can also see http://wiki.openzaurus.org/HowTos/OPIE_and_GPE
06:50.14pgasit describes the installation of gpe over an opie install

06:52.22Kevin`oh, how do you right click, by default
06:54.00pgasdon't know in oz..
06:54.15pgasyou can probably use xmodmap -e "pointer = 3 2 1" in a shell ;)
06:54.26Kevin`what would that do?
06:54.39pgaschange the order of the mouse buttons
06:55.12Kevin`how can I make it use a key+tap for right click, as pdaxrom does
06:55.31Kevin`(fn for right, shift for middle, if I remember correctly)
06:56.46pgasI think sashz has patched the xserver to get this behaviour
06:57.30Kevin`well good for him, how do I get it working on mine? :)
06:58.09Kevin`oh, related to that, how can you compile oz apps, kernel, etc on a zaurus
06:58.31pgasfill a bug in the oe bugtracker and request this feature ;) (unless it's allready there and I don't know about it)
06:59.30Kevin`i'd do it myself if I could find the patches used and a way to compile apps on the zaurus
07:00.23pgasyou can perhaps start with this: http://openzaurus.berlios.de/Howto_%28probably%29_compile_emacs_from_cvs_on_oz/gpe_3.5.4.1rc4%29
07:01.35pgasthe Zaurus kernel pages states that it's a bit difficult to find the correct patches set and the order in which to apply them with OpenEmbedded
07:02.45Kevin`doesn't it do that all automatically or something?
07:03.24pgassure OE does, but it's for cross-compilation not native compilation
07:03.56pgashttp://www.rpsys.net/openzaurus/
07:06.17Kevin`well is there anything stopping me from using OE in the normal way on the zaurus?
07:06.29Kevin`it's actually the device with the most free space I have right now :/

07:09.02pgasexcept that it is not tested, that perhaps not all requirements are readily available, will takes ages , probably requires a big swap and more space that your 6 G you mean?
07:09.30Kevin`it needs more then 6gb?
07:09.41Kevin`but yes, other then that
07:09.53pgasdepending on what you build it could
07:10.36pgassource and non-strip object files tend to use a lot of space
07:10.44Kevin`well i'd need more space in any case then
07:10.54Kevin`my computer here doesn't have that much
07:11.19pgasplus compilation tends to use a lot of ram
07:11.54pgasI think on the oe site the requirements say something about  512 Meg of ram
