Hello Freerunners, I have been using a Freerunner under Debian for one month. It is not yet fully usable, but I am still working on it.
1.GSM Zhone works not too bad. I have applied the patch to use a VCARD file but the "dial" button does not work anymore (it works with contacts on the SIM card). I have tried scripts to import a VCF file into the SIM card without success. I am not yet very aware of the dbus system to write my own Python script. I have some "bugs" with SMS - the phone does not ring when I receive a message and the messages are always written as unread (until I reboot the phone). 2.PIM I have tried: -osmo: not recurrent events, no alarm (only for tasks) -pimlico: not recurrent events, no alarm but uses Evolution's back-end -GPE apps: fully functional apps but require gpesyncd for synchronisation - not available in the debian repositories 2.PIM SYNC -osmo: not tried -GPE apps: not tried - see below -pimlico method 1: *contacts: imported successfully from a VCF file *tasks: not tried yet *dates: merged the ICAL files from Evolution and dates successfully (using a custom Python script) -pimlico method 2: *successfully synchronised Evolution's contacts tasks and calendar with a Scheduleworld account using syncevolution (repository: deb http://www.estamos.de/download/apt stable main). I could not manage to sync the Freerunner due to a missing dependency with syncevolution-evolution (problem with the repository?). 3.GPS TangoGPS works well. I have not tried Navit yet. 4.WIFI Does not work yet (wifi-radar - wicd) - I think I have a dependency problem... 5.ACCELEROMETER Works well - I have tried it with the mokomaze game (apt-get install it) 6.AUTOROTATE SCREEN Simple rotate freezes my freerunner with XGLAMO. What I would like to do: -find a usable configuration to use a PIM suite (synchronized with my desktop PC) to replace my Palm TE2. -configure the WIFI -install Navit and buy reiseplaner maps -make the autorotate work -make Zhone fully usable I would like to know I somebody could have a fully functional freerunner under debian ? Thanks in advance for your answers.
