00:32.12summatusmentishrw, does OZ need someone to be a 'web maintainer'?
00:34.33hrwsince I disabled comments nearly no maintaince for website is needed
00:36.04summatusmentisah, ok
00:45.49hrwit needs 'box' on right with current releases..

21:10.34ethyr2000hello all
21:11.11summatusmentishey there ethyr2000
21:11.30ethyr2000hi summatusmentis
21:11.47ethyr2000I've got a 3200.. which z do you have
21:12.43summatusmentis5500
21:12.46ethyr2000I've gone from sharp to cacko.. looking at pdaXrom, openzaurus, and angstrom
21:12.59summatusmentisI'm going to upgrade to a 1000 w/in the month
21:13.18summatusmentisas far as I know, angstrom is still beta(or less)
21:15.20CoreDump|homeI don't think there would be any point to install angstom on a Z if you do not indent to develop on angstrom
21:15.41summatusmentisnot yet anyway
21:15.52CoreDump|homeindeed
21:16.02summatusmentisangstrom is oz++++ right?
21:17.09CoreDump|homenot really. It is a completely new distro
21:17.40summatusmentisI haven't really found a homepage for it...am I not looking hard enough?
21:19.05summatusmentisethyr2000, since I have a 5500, I haven't tried pdaXrom, but OZ is nice
21:19.11summatusmentisvery nice, way better than sharp

21:21.03mimecarhi
21:21.10ethyr2000`sorry summatusmentis .. got disconnected..
21:21.13ethyr2000`hello mimecar
21:21.50ethyr2000`I was just telling summatusmentis  that I was looking into pdaxrom, oz, and angstrom.. trying to figure out which one to try next.
21:22.09mimecaropenzaurus have two desktop: opie and gpe
21:22.17summatusmentislike I said, I've never tried pdaxrom, but I really like oz
21:22.25mimecarsummatusmentis: cx00 ?
21:22.31summatusmentis5500
21:22.43mimecarthen, openzaurus only
21:22.45ethyr2000`c3200 here
21:22.58mimecarwrong nick :P
21:23.14mimecarsummatusmentis: you won't be able to run pdaxrom on collie
21:23.28summatusmentisfrom my understanding, opie is better for 'pda' functionality, but if you want 'mini computer' functionality, gpe is the way to go
21:23.38ethyr2000`the more I use it the more I want to maximize performance..
21:23.41mimecarthat's true
21:23.41summatusmentismimecar, I know, I think I tried once :-P
21:23.59mimecargpe runs ok on collie :)
21:24.09mimecaryou can choose the desktop you want
21:24.41ethyr2000`I'm leaning to x because I am familiar with linux
21:24.53summatusmentisyeah, it's decent, but the screen is too small
21:24.58ethyr2000`<-- fvwm sounds nice
21:25.08mimecarc3200 is another world
21:25.12mimecarvs collie of course ;)
21:25.21summatusmentiskantlivelong(isn't here right now) has fluxbox running on his 5600
21:25.40mimecarwith a good velocity ?
21:25.42ethyr2000`summatusmentis  said he's looking at an akita
21:25.56summatusmentismimecar, velocity? what do you mean?
21:26.07mimecaryou cant run firefox on collie
21:26.08summatusmentisethyr2000, yeah, within the month, I'll be upgrading
21:26.12mimecarbut is very slow
21:26.16summatusmentisyou can, it just sucks
21:26.34summatusmentisagain, screen size becomes an issue, and it is extremely slow
21:26.47ethyr2000`right now I've got firefox on QTXrom and it's slow
21:27.07mimecaris qtxrom and hybrid, isn't it ?
21:27.33ethyr2000`Cacko w/ the newer pdaQTXrom
21:27.36summatusmentisthere is a way to run X under opie, but it's not native...
21:27.54ethyr2000`that's the way..
21:28.08ethyr2000`it's ok.. but start up is SSSSLLLLLOOOOOWWWWW
21:28.26summatusmentismimecar, were you asking about the speed of fluxbox?
21:28.33ethyr2000`takes a few minutes just to get X up
21:28.47mimecarI don't
21:29.09mimecari cant add another rom for my collie, only OZ anc cacko
21:29.41summatusmentisright
21:29.55summatusmentiskantlivelong has fluxbox running on top of a bootstrap OZ image
21:29.59ethyr2000`do they have 2.6 kernels for either of your models?
21:30.19summatusmentisnot mine
21:30.36summatusmentiseverything but the 5500 uses the 2.6 series
21:30.50summatusmentisoh and maybe the 6000, but I think that's got 2.6 also
21:30.55mimecar5500 use 2.4
21:31.06mimecarthere's a problem with the SD driver
21:31.13summatusmentisright
21:31.15ethyr2000`hmmmm..
21:31.33summatusmentisbinary only(from original sharp kernel)
21:31.44ethyr2000`has anyone measured the performance increases?
21:31.55ethyr2000`between 2.4 and 2.6?
21:32.04mimecarI don't
21:32.44ethyr2000`I hear comments that it's faster, but haven't seen any hard data..
21:33.40summatusmentisyeah, I don't know
21:34.01ethyr2000`I've also heard pdaxrom, oz, and (eventually) angstrom are faster because they are compiled specifically for the later cpu's of the Cxx00 series
21:34.28summatusmentisiirc, OZ compiles all images for specific models
21:35.10ethyr2000`as does Angstrom, because they are source builds.
21:35.25summatusmentisoh
21:35.37summatusmentisI may have just made that up though
21:35.44ethyr2000`both use openembedded
21:35.53summatusmentisright
21:36.35summatusmentisI like gpe as a whole, it's just hard to use on a 5500
21:36.38ethyr2000`openembedded and bitbake does similar to gentoo's portage.. so everything is built custom from source
21:36.57summatusmentisright, if I understand that correctly
21:36.58mimecarsummatusmentis: but is usable
21:37.07summatusmentisI'm working on setting up a cross compile env.
21:37.25mimecarit's a long time task
21:37.28summatusmentismimecar, mostly, assuming you don't want to do word processing, or stuff like that
21:37.40mimecaryou have abiword on gpe
21:37.47mimecarbut is bigger than screen :P
21:38.24summatusmentisright, exactly, making it hard to use
21:38.29summatusmentissame w/ sylpheed
21:39.00ethyr2000`can that be customized in the .config files?
21:39.12summatusmentisthe size? not that I know of...
21:39.17mimecaryou can't
21:39.23ethyr2000`hmmm
21:39.29summatusmentisthose apps were originally intended for desktop resolutions
21:39.40mimecarwhen you design the program, you create a "app size"
21:39.55summatusmentisbear in mind however, that the cxx00 series has a screen twice the resolution of the 5500
21:40.07mimecar640x480
21:40.09ethyr2000`the vga resolution really helps on the CXXXX
21:40.21summatusmentisso you may not run into the same issues I do
21:40.23mimecarbut programs on gpe are ports
21:40.24ethyr2000`yes.. vga
21:40.27mimecarnot adaptation
21:41.48summatusmentisright
21:47.33ethyr2000`actually I know a window manager that would be awesome for the smaller res screens
21:48.50ethyr2000`it's called anduin
21:48.58mimecarthe problem is the apps
21:49.03mimecarnot the window manager
21:49.04ethyr2000`and runs on x
21:49.33ethyr2000`I guess that's true.. if the app wont force down.. anduin actually forces the window size down to fit
21:50.24mimecardo it add scrollbars ?
21:50.30mimecarfor bigger screens ?
21:50.45ethyr2000`I was just trying to remember that myself
21:50.52mimecarok ok :)
21:51.27ethyr2000`the url is http://www.media.mit.edu/wearables/mithril/anduin/index.html... thanks mit..LOL

21:54.20mimecarI can write on english, but some times I lost the meaning of some sentences
21:54.33summatusmentisI'll be back momentarily
21:54.56ethyr2000`I'm sure when I use abbreviations it doesn't help
21:55.21ethyr2000`or perhaps it does with afk..LOL

21:56.34ethyr2000`actually what's funny is I probably would just deal how slow my z is under cacko but I have some dos games I'd like to speed up..
21:57.14ethyr2000`even if I could get it to 386 performance I'd be happy..
21:57.26ethyr2000`right now it's about XT level
21:57.53ethyr2000`although speeding up X would be REALLY helpful
21:58.26summatusmentisethyr2000`, what rom are you running?
21:58.57ethyr2000`Cacko.. previously Sharp.. only had my z a few weeks
21:59.25ethyr2000`but at least I know my wifi works now..LOL
21:59.28summatusmentisCacko is qt based right?
21:59.45mimecaryes
21:59.50mimecarcacko use opie
21:59.50ethyr2000`yes.. think of Sharp with most of the tweaks
22:00.12summatusmentisyeah, I'd try a native X rom, OZ/GPE or pdaXrom
22:00.21ethyr2000`yes.. I'm using QTXrom to run x apps
22:01.18ethyr2000`firefox anyway. DosBox doesn't require X.. just sdl
22:01.19summatusmentiswhat's that? did you say all of this already?
22:01.38mimecarI'm lost :P
22:01.39ethyr2000`mime was asking me about my rom..
22:01.52mimecarok
22:02.59ethyr2000`I was telling mimecar  that X and Dosbox is too slow under my Cacko rom
22:03.13mimecarok
22:06.45summatusmentisah, ok
22:07.20mimecaryou can follow the subject now :P
22:08.22summatusmentisyeah, sorry
22:08.27ethyr2000`np
22:08.36mimecarsorry for interrupt
22:09.09ethyr2000`I'm hoping a 2.6 kernel and a processor specific build will get things to a reasonable speed
22:09.30summatusmentisI assume you want to stay w/ qt?
22:09.32ethyr2000`I'm hoping I can get dosbox to 386 performace..
22:09.46ethyr2000`not particularly
22:10.02ethyr2000`I just got my z 3 weeks ago.. and I'm still exploring the roms
22:10.31ethyr2000`I thought I'd take some time with Sharp and Cacko just to get some fair experience with them
22:10.39summatusmentisah, so unless I'm completely confused, I stand by my previous statement, try a native X rom
22:10.42mimecaryou should it
22:10.51mimecarfirst, the original rom
22:11.05mimecarafter some test, another (only if you want)
22:11.58ethyr2000`I'm also leaning to pdaXrom, OZ, and Angstrom because of cups capability
22:12.18summatusmentiscups printer stuff?
22:12.18mimecarethyr2000`: don't try more roms
22:12.31mimecarlearn the basic first of you will get crazy
22:13.17summatusmentisto a certain extent I agree, but I still say learn the basics on OZ ;-)
22:13.31mimecarmy first month
22:13.37mimecari reflash many times the zaurus
22:13.49ethyr2000`well I've figured out most of Sharp and Cacko.. except trying it with a madlib (some sort of code for floating point)
22:14.10ethyr2000`meanies zbook helped..
22:15.35ethyr2000`yes.. cups printer stuff.. since the Cxx00 has a host usb.. hooking up to a printer is not out of line.
22:15.57summatusmentistrue, I didn't think about htat
22:16.02summatusmentiss/htat/that
22:17.09ethyr2000`actually since the 6000 I've kept an eye out on the Z because of the host usb
22:18.22summatusmentisyeah, I kind of forget about that
22:21.10ethyr2000`well.. I've got painting to do.. too nice of a day to not get work done.
22:21.25mimecarnight all
22:21.32ethyr2000`it was nice meeting you
22:21.54mimecarI can enter all the nights
22:22.04mimecarbye
22:22.48summatusmentisI've gotta go, I'll be back later
23:25.46Luke-Jrcan OZ handle SDHC?
