I am really interested in using OpenBSD on my Zaurus. I've been reading this forum ever since I had my SL-C3000. My main purpose for the unit is using it for C++/C# (especially when Mono 1.2 gets released) programming, MP3 player, wardriving and sometimes like a real PDA (well, more a eBook reader/web browser). I tried OpenBSD a while ago, but audio was not working so I had to return to Cacko. Right now it seems to have everything I need for programming, music and wardriving, but to use it as a PDA, I would like to use Matchbox (especially matchbox-keyboard) and a rotated screen.
I would like to know if any of you got a rotation applet/program/script/whatever (or even better, an automatic one like to original ROM) and got Matchbox compiled from ports. I'll start installing OpenBSD tonight anyway. TIA |

What is the command to rotate the screen under obsd? If there is one then I think it is possible to edit ./icewm/menu or ./icewm/toolbar and add the function there.

However, for the rotation to take effect X must be restarted. ![]() |

The last time I chatted with Matthieu he mentioned that xrandr rotate extensions were going to go into the driver... do you know if he triggered touch screen rotation with xrandr? The best way that I could find for managing touch screen rotation was with a Kernel patch that rotated the co-ordinates prior to scaling against the calibration parameters - the previous mechanism where x and y co-ordinates were handled by the X touch screen driver meant that the Kernel scaling was making the touch screen inaccurate when rotated. Here is the proof of concept patch that I wrote at the time.. http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-arm&m=113993195221600&w=2 Look right to the end of the posting for a full explanation of the co-ordinate issue. -Andy |

QUOTE(Andrew Smith @ Feb 14 2006, 03:43 PM) Ok I accept that Xorg may at some stage create an extension for doing this but right \ now, and until OpenBSD accepts that release of Xorg there are scaling issues in the \ zts driver when subject to rotation.

P.S. Then again, in Matthieu's FOSDEM address this year, he mentioned "Generalisation of XRandr 1.2 in drivers" in the slide entitled "Coming next: X.Org 7.4". A few slides later, it's mentioned that "OpenBSD 4.3 (to be released on May 1) will include X.ORg 7.3" and that "We should be able to include X.Org 7.5 in OpenBSD 4.4." Looks like we've gotta wait for 4.4 or, at least, 4.3-current? |
