I am trying to use Midnight Commander in the GPE console.
MC requires the control key to use its menus. How can I access the control key in the GPE console? Under OPIE one of the two japanase keys ( I forgot which one, and my Z is not at hand) works as Control ( same as in the Sharp rom). In GPE this does not work. Any ideas? Thank you... |

Ummm, unless I'm very mistaken, all SL-Cxx00 models have a dedicated "Ctrl" key to the left of the two japanese keys. |

You are right - and it does not work work to bring up the menus in MC. Actually: maybe my initial post was misleading: maybe I need a function key? Either way: can anyone please tell me, how to activate the menus in MC under GPE? |

Use the "Esc" + Num key to access the menus, i.e. esc+4: edit, esc+5: copy, esc+0: exit
Cheers, Jerry |

For some reasons mc appears in black and white in the root console.
Other users have colors! What am I missing? EDIT: problems comes only by doing "su -root" RE-EDIT possibly an urxvt bug... http://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=18310 |

You can also change the value in /etc/profile
CODE TERM="vt100" to CODE TERM="linux" That will also give you color in kismet when you run it as root Cheers, Jerry |

I'm used to the Gentoo filesystem and pseudo-debian is somewhere different... Have anyway a lot of "can't get colour ''#XXXXXX", continuing without." in the session logs... |
