• Cannot press home to get back to the desktop. Once an application is up, one is forced to use the application menu.
• I have had some lockup issues, especially with Midnight Commander. I try to change the directory to .. and everything locks. I also hang the system with some general find commands. It seems that a directory is inaccessible. This was resolved with a complete reinstallation.

• XMMS

  • .. doesn’t seem to do anything. I can’t figure out how to get it to start playing a file. =/

• kino

  • Videos require special attention for the best results, but this is the best video player I’ve used yet.

• Heretic – (1994 game)

  • requires libsdl
    — heretic-demo_1.2-3_arm.ipk
    — heretic-engine_1.0.4-2_arm.ipk

Notes ∞

screenshots:

scshotcf, scshotram, scshotsd — will save a screenshot as a .bmp file.

try:

sleep 10;scshotsd

…

In QTopia, use Shift-Fn-C. A shutter sound is played and screenshot is in /mnt/card/Screen_Files/ .. This creates large .bmp files

Or install the screenshot applet (screenshotapplet_arm.ipk). It creates small .png files in ~/Documents/image

• wallpaper is /opt/QtPalmtop/pics144/wallpaper/default.png

• Wireless card recognition

  • Check entry for your card in /etc/pcmcia/hostap_cs.conf file. Get details of your card with cardctl ident ^[ 1 ] See ident command. You can remove entries for all other cards so they don’t get in your way. Also remember that you need to restart pcmcia after editing config file (/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart)
  • Other networking notes are on FAQ
