A new version of the Zaurus pdaXrom is available, version 1.0. Also some new packages in the feed including mplayer and a volume control applet. 2:14:58 PM

This post on the Zaurus User Group forum benchmarks various SD card and CF card settings. There is a kernel setting, CONFIG_FS_SYNC, which is normally enabled. By disabling it there is a large performance increase when using the SD card and stability of the card is better. My SD card tends to get corrupt, requiring an e2fsck, if i do large writes and reads from the card. It sounds like disabling this option may fix it. 9:11:17 AM
