john robert boynton: ipaq 3800 Linuxlicentious radio(Untitled)- June 28, 2002 Update.... Konqueror on opielinuxipaq does support stylesheets. But it doesn't use the handheld stylesheet if there is one. I was so thrilled at the idea, that I didn't keep testing. In fact what happens is that Konqueror loads both stylesheets, so that the last one overrides the first. So Konqueror on the desktop looks just like Konqueror on the handheld. Try my other site. Here's a konq screenshot new window. Oops. Konqueror also doesn't have the brains to wrap lines of text at the width...http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/ipaq3800Linux/2002/06/28.html#a457 (Untitled)- June 27, 2002 CF ethernet weirdness.... I put the ipaq in the sleeve, then stuck the ethernet card in. No connection. Turn the ipaq on. No connection. I removed the ethernet, turned the ipaq off, removed the ipaq, turned the ipaq on, inserted ethernet, and now the connection works. That's better than rebooting, but darn!http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/ipaq3800Linux/2002/06/27.html#a437 (Untitled)- June 25, 2002 Hey, stop the presses! Konqueror on opielinuxipaq does support stylesheets, and it uses the handheld stylesheet if there is one. This is great! Update: Alas, Konq does not know to use a handheld stylesheet -- it just uses stylesheets in order -- so if the handhelds stylesheet is listed second, Konq uses it -- regardless of the device. Try my other site. Here's a konq screenshot new window. Oops. What it doesn't have is the brains to wrap lines of text at the width of the screen, rather than..http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/ipaq3800Linux/2002/06/25.html#a421 (Untitled)- June 25, 2002 A problem with Konqueror and thttpd: I have a copy of Twelfth Night on my ipaq, in a file with a .txt extension. Dillo displayed it as a text file. Konqueror treats it as html -- ignoring carriage returns, so that the whole thing appears as one paragraph. Boy does that suck. Also, the opie text editor is one of these stupifaction devices that will only open files it thinks it should open. I couldn't edit bootparams with it, for instance. Meanwhile the opie terminal program wastes so much...http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/ipaq3800Linux/2002/06/25.html#a414 (Untitled)- June 24, 2002 If your ipaq 3800 battery runs dead, you don't have to try to reboot while it's in the cradle, of course. I forgot. You can unhook the power from the cradle, and plug it into the ipaq directly.http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/ipaq3800Linux/2002/06/24.html#a410 (Untitled)- June 23, 2002 Meanwhile, the mailing list archive at handhelds.org has changed a bunch of urls. You can find things in Google's cache, but any links from the cached item will be as broken as the regular links in the search results, or any links in archived email messages. This is a disaster, given that searching the mailing list is basically your only hope of finding useful information.http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/ipaq3800Linux/2002/06/23.html#a409 (Untitled)- June 23, 2002 Using opie. It looks ok. The handwriting is a little weird, but mostly works fine. I can't figure out how to enter "control" so I can save a document in nano, though. I switch to the keyboard, press the control key combination, then switch back to handwriting recognition. Konqueror is much nicer to use than Dillo. It's mostly a matter of less wasted chrome, but it also supports javascript and lets me magnify text. No css, alas. What's up with that Konqueror also fails to display character...http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/ipaq3800Linux/2002/06/23.html#a405 (Untitled)- June 22, 2002 installing opie -- stream-of-installation notes at my other website.http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/ipaq3800Linux/2002/06/22.html#a389 (Untitled)- June 21, 2002 Upgraded to Familiar 0.5.2. I think my error message yesterday was because I upgraded the kernel without getting the matching distribution. I use the ICE window manager (for no particular reason). With the new version of Familiar, the theme "metal-small" appeared. This is a big improvement. It's easy to hide the menustatus bar at the bottom. The bar at the top has a drop-down list of tasks, and over on the right are arrows to step forward or back through the tasks. Alas, the keyboard still...http://radio.weblogs.com/0102813/categories/ipaq3800Linux/2002/06/21.html#a387 |
