QPE has a settings app called Light & Power that can control the backlight. Make sure you install apmd and h3600-utils out of familiar also. I just wrote a little script for syncing: #!/bin/sh ntpdate my.home.time.server ipkg update ipkg upgrade RSYNC_RSH=ssh export RSYNC_RSH rsync -va --exclude=/proc / user@my.home.machine:/path/to/backup I think it'll just be a matter of time before there are KDE apps that can do real syncing with the qpe PDA utilities.

Hey Gang, I finally installed linux on my ipaq, and installed QT embedded last night, and part of this morning. I like it so far, there are a few things that are missing, one of which i find to be a real big down side. I can't seem to turn off the back light. I don't want all my batter sucked up from the backlight. Anyone else have this problem know how to fix this, or have any suggestions?

i was also wondering if anyone knows of any/some good sync tools, for linux, and the ipaq.

Thanks, --Brad _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug@mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug
