[Werner Heuser <Werner.Heuser@web.de>]

    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.

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.
