Prebuilt Jornada 7xx linux image

After some reading, it looks like the drivers for that card werent in place until 2.6.5. I know they work with jlime and 2.6.x kernels as a few users have them. Doubtfull it'll work on 2.4 kernel.

The bnep0 is for bluetooth devices. Actually eth0 shows up in network applet ( granted the card is recognized ). You probably didnt see it because it had no idea what your card was. I always tell people to just stick with good old prism or orinoco chipset cards. They work with everything.

I guess i forgot to mention that gnumeric is in the 0.8.4 feed, which is small, but was a minor upgrade of a few packages. You will find it here: http://familiar.handhelds.org/releases/v0.8.4/feed/ in the /x11 directory. You could add that feed to /etc/ipkg.conf or just manually do it. Something like ipkg install http://familiar.handhelds.org/releases/v0.8.4/feed/x11/gnumeric_1.6.2-r0_arm.ipk. It may or may not need to download deps, i forget. If so just manually install those as well.

Cheers.

There are 2 things you can do.

1) The easy way. Edit /etc/ipkg.conf and add the 0.8.4 feed to it. You'll get the idea of how if works from that. Just be sure to name them differently than the 0.8.2 feed. Such as base, you could name it base2 for the 0.8.4 feed, x11 to x11-2, etc etc. Then save and run ipkg update to update the package list with all the new stuff from the 0.8.4 feed. Then ipkg install gnumeric as now it and all the deps will autodownload and install. If for some reason you get a message like "blah cant install blah because package blah already has installed this file" use the -force-overwrite switch.

2) Force install. Add -nodeps -force-overwrite to each package listed as a dep.

Cheers and good luck.

If all else fails, i've had it installed before and i could whip up a seperate userland w/gnumeric installed if need be.

Actually you need both the 0.8.2 and 0.8.4 feed active in ipkg.conf if you plan on installing anything from the 0.8.4 feed. The reason it cant find files is that some are located in the 0.8.2 feed. To put it simply, the 0.8.4 feed is just a small 'upgrade' feed for some packages, along with a few new applications. It isnt a 'full' feed like 0.8.2. Catch my drift now?

Blame familiar for the messy feed setup.

If tht doesnt work for ya, i'll whip up another image.

Cheers.

Hmm. The applet should work. Does here to a point. You can change brightness/contrast via commandline as last resort. I actually have a generic script for that in the userland already. Have a look at /usr/local/bin/lcd and lcdconsole. I set one for X and one for console to eliminate the 'pinkish' text in console. Edit to your liking (0 = 0ff and 225 = highest) then run the script. I find between 100 and 140 works best for me. Yours may differ.

Cheers.

Ahhh.. yeah i remember know. You dont need to downgrade libgsf, ipkg does not like to downgrade without a fight. You will have to make symlinks. I'd cd to /usr/lib then open midnight commander (mc). Now browse around until you locate libgsf, then just create a symlink linking 114 to 113. Might be something like 'ln -s libgsf-1.so.114 libgsf-1.so.113 or something to that nature. That might happen to a few more libs also if i remember correctly.

Mrxvt does scroll, but you have to use right click to scroll up, left click to scroll down. It might work with my mouse hotkeys (works with firefox/minimo didnt test with anything else). They are linked to the front audio buttons, if not use the mouse icon on taskbar. For a terminal with a 'real' scrollbar use aterm, which is the the term icon on the taskbar.

Cheers.

talked to rtfm last night... he's cleaning up another build... has a bunch of dev files and DOOM... so perhaps he'll have that gnumeric in there as well.
