Home / Web Pads / Panasonic CF-01 Linux anyone? Linux?

Linux anyone? (modified 0 times) scoots32 Profile Has anyone had a chance to attempt a Linux installation. I would think Linux would run very well on these units. One problem may be support for the touch screen. 04-18-2001 21:22:17

RE:Linux anyone? (modified 0 times) bus_depot Profile The distributor told me that he had customers who said they ran linux on them. But he could provide no info beyond that. 04-18-2001 21:23:57

RE:Linux anyone? (modified 0 times) SiliconIce Profile Linux would probably consume less resources than Windows right? So maybe since it seems Windows will not allow acceptable mp3 playback, we can use Linux for an mp3 player. Problem is do any drivers exist for that Pansonic PCMCIA sound card under Linux? I have not found any yet. 04-20-2001 13:36:52

RE:Linux anyone? (modified 0 times) bus_depot Profile How about using 98Lite to streamline Windows and leave more resources for MP3 use? No idea if it would work, just a thought. 04-20-2001 13:54:47

RE:Linux anyone? (modified 0 times) SiliconIce Profile http://www.cacdsp.com/products/bulletdsp.html This is a Linux-supported sound card with a DSP. I here the price is out of this world though... The search continues. I have found many places that say specifically that Linux does not support ANY PCMCIA sound cards beacause of DMA, etc. 04-20-2001 14:13:43

RE:Linux anyone? (modified 0 times) jamesd1343 Profile anyone install linux yet? Im set to dual boot 98SE with Mandrake 7.1 using Powerquest BootMagic but figured Id see if anyone has gotten anywhere yet? 04-23-2001 11:53:06

RE:Linux anyone? (modified 0 times) SiliconIce Profile I'm downloading Mandrake 8.0 right now, will be trying that as soon as mine gets here. 04-23-2001 13:50:31

RE:Linux anyone? (modified 0 times) Linuxguru Profile | Email Has anybody located a linux pen driver that can be plugged in as a pointing device under X (preferably with gpm redirection)? 05-03-2001 12:24:00

RE:Linux anyone? (modified 0 times) SiliconIce Profile Just checking to see if anyone has managed to make any Linux progress. I will be working on this in the next few weeks, but I think it's really over my head right now. And it's a pain to download large distros on my 56K. So anyone had luck so far? 05-13-2001 23:41:11

RE:Linux anyone? (modified 0 times) freds Profile I have the latest version of FreeBSD running on the CF-01. It took a bit to get XFree86 4 running as the chips driver was buggy but it works now.The next step is to make the touch screen work under X. I came across some comments that some software works on both the CF-01 and the Fujitsu Stylistic 1200. I have found code for the 1200. What I am not sure of is how the CF-01 touch screen works. Near as I can tell all of them use a serial (COM) port to obtain the touch screen information. I need more information on which serial port is being used, if one is used at all. Anyone who has more info on how the penc.drv works or how the hardware works would be appreciated. 08-27-2001 20:42:36

RE:Linux anyone? (modified 0 times) dabudah Profile So has anyone gotten Linux up and running? In particular, has anyone gotten the pen support working or network cards? I am trying to use my cf-01 for a computer engineering course in which i will mainly only be working with programming c++ and perl. I hope someone can help... Thanks. 09-18-2001 20:41:23

RE:Linux anyone? (modified 0 times) JamesW Profile ... or how about FreeBSD? (I'd actually prefer FreeBSD). Some details from Fred about how he got it all functioning would be great. Is there a driver for the Panasonic PCMCIA sound card? Once that is done I reckon I can get rid of Windows from the unit, I only need it to play MP3s and talk via my SMC wireless card (I understand there is an Intersil driver, no?). 01-15-2002 23:08:06
