First, I would like to thank the pdaxrom team for making this beautiful rom.
I am running a C1000 with RC10, and am having a couple of issues. First, I would like to get my usb mouse to work. I read where Laze posted QUOTE To enable mouse support edit startx and add "-mouse /dev/input/mouse0" in xserver args. Im not very experienced with Linux and this went over my head. Where can I edit startx to do this? Thanks for reading my post. |

Quick fix:
just type this when after you login to your zaurus "startx -mouse /dev/input/mouse0"" |

my current workaround is to pop that line into the xserver args in /usr/X11R6/bin and save it as startxm ( for mouse) this way if I want to use the mouse I start X with startxm if not jist plain old startx

My mouse now works. Strangely enough, when I startxm, it starts as portrait mode. When I click on 'rotate' in the menu, It rotates the screen as an upside down landscape. The same thing happens when I rotate the clamshell into PDA form.  It is easy to fix with xrandr -o right but I just thought it was curious that it happened. |

This is what I did. I changed the line in startx to the following: serverargs="-mouse /dev/input/mouse0" in the file and saved it as startxm. The file saved, I exited X and used the command startxm at the prompt. Update: I did a chmod 755 to startxm and it solved the issue. Now to figure out the portrait mode to landscape mode. Update: I fixed the portrait to landscape mode with the xrandr -0 right Thanks for the very helpful information. Update on the above: I lose the mouse function when it suspends. I have to exit and restart X, sometimes twice or even a full reboot because the zaurus will freeze. Also, can I add the 'xrandr -o right' to the server args so I don't have to send the command after startxm? C-1000, pdaXROM, Kathrin-RC10.4 |
