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.

|=| 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.

|=| 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.

Subject: [HUMBUG] Next Meeting - 9th April 2005
Date: Fri, 1 Apr 2005 20:00:17 CST
The Home Unix Machine Brisbane Users Group exists to get fellow
Unix users in contact with each other, to introduce people to
Unix and Unix-like operating systems, and to help users in
operating those systems. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Meetings tend to be informal. We socialize, discuss Unix and
computing, solve Unix problems for new and experienced users
alike and, these days, have regular talks.
Date: Saturday, 9th April 2005 (every second Saturday)
Time: From 3pm with the network up 30 minutes after we are
granted entry. The network will be brought down after
midnight to allow time to clean up for a 1am exit.
Venue: Room S201, Hawken Engineering Building (no. 50)
The University of Queensland, St Lucia Campus
Car parking is currently unregulated on Saturdays. The
University is serviced by public transport with frequent
buses during University terms. For more information:

Cost: Membership until our AGM in September is $20, but no one
has to join unless they are going to use club services
such as our network access during meetings.
Talks: Information on upcoming talks is announced separately.
For information on talks see the announcements by our
Talks Maintainer on the announce mailing list.
Food: The eating places (ranging from take away to a la Carte)
at 'The Ville' are usually open until about 10pm Saturday
night. There is also the Pizza Cafe on campus near the
