| JoaoSombra | Parana, Brazil | jsombra_newhouse@yahoo.com.br | Ipaq h2200 | Very impressive, first I tried the Ängstrom GPE Loopback image from a 512MB CF, it works very well but a bit slow, the Bluetooth works to, but the battery not, even the IRDA. Second, I´ve tried the opie loopback image, it works! (suspending, but not bluetooth and irda). Third, I tried the ängstrom gpe loopback image again with updated image size, I´ve downloaded some apps, but no way to connect the BT to my GPRS service, even I haven´t found a IM app, just the Abiword (very impressive but slow). Now I´ve made a installation of opie 1.2 with Familiar 0.8.4 zImage on a partition of my CF, all things works, very fast than the loopback image, amazing working with console, but I have a headache with BT (can´t reconize any service!!!!), and the USB Ethernet driver (that was working at loopback image), so I can´t ping the device on my Ubuntu 7.10 even on M$...so I can´t upgrade the system...and the FAT partition of CF Card wasn´t reconized (I got a charset error on SysLog) any ideas?? But very impressive system! My WM2003 looks like a simple OS eheh | ||
