Hello, the "TuxMobil News Digest" for March 2005[1] has good news for Linux PDA, mobile phone, laptop and notebook users. Here is an extract of the most important or most interesting messages. If you are missing news, applications or documents, don't hesitate to contact me. Please support our work by submitting news and Linux reports about laptops, notebooks, PDAs, mobile phones and portable media players. Werner Heuser |=| Monthly Highlights |=| Because of license issues there are almost no free drivers for SD/MMC card readers built into laptops or PDAs available. The one exception is the Linux driver for the Winbond's W83L518D and W83L519D SD/MMC card readers (1.1) http://projects.drzeus.cx/wbsd PS: There are binary drivers for SHARP Zaurus PDAs. - External USB card readers as well as some (if not all) _active_ PCMCIA-SD adapters are supported. |=| Complete Monthly Digest [1] http://tuxmobil.org/mobile_news_2005_03.html |=| Daily RSS, Archive, Submission Form, Subscription You may find the _daily_ TuxMobil News RSS/XML channel, the archiv and a news submission form at http://tuxmobil.org/newsfeed.html BTW: You may subscribe to the complete _monthly_ digest there, too. PS: Addicted to Linux and mobile computing since almost ten years, I often needed to investigate or repair laptop hardware. Sometimes I found it difficult to get necessary information, so finally I have started a new project: Repair4Laptop Need to achieve a hard disk or CPU upgrade of your laptop or notebook? Need to repair a broken display? Want to dissect your laptop or notebook, to know what chips are actually inside your mobile computer? Are you missing a service manual? Or just in the mood of modding or hacking your mobile gadget? Here is a collection of links to take apart instructions, disassembly pictures or dismantling videos, upgrade and repair manuals, as well as do-it-yourself (DIY) tips and tricks for laptop and notebook repairs. If you have written a repair report yourself, please send me a note. http://repair4laptop.org/ -- |=| Werner Heuser = Berliner Str. 122 = D-13187 Berlin = Germany |=| <wehe at tuxmobil.org> T. 0049 - (0)30 - 349 53 86 |=| http://TuxMobil.org UniX on Mobile Systems: HOWTOs,Software |*| This is no time for phony rhetoric -- Lou Reed
