From the FAQ (not on the web yet but coming)...
I am using Qtopia Desktop with a Zaurus and I'm having a problem.
If you are using Windows, please use the Sharp's Qtopia Desktop release.
Trolltech's Qtopia Desktop release is compatible with Trolltech's Qtopia releases. Sharp's Qtopia is not compatible with Trolltech's Qtopia Desktop. Specifically, the PIM applications have some bugs and Sharp ROMs >= 3.0 use a different method of synchronisation and data storage.
If you have a SL-5500 or older you can run a 2.x ROM that is mostly compatible with Qtopia Desktop. If you have a newer Zaurus you will need to use Sharp's Qtopia Desktop release. Note: Sharp does not support Linux or MacOS.
But I *really* want to use my Zaurus with Linux/MacOS. Isn't there anything I can do?
You can install Opie and/or OpenZaurus. I do not know the specifics of what you need to install and how to do that. Please see those projects for more information.
