Title: Targus Keyboard On Z5500
Post by: kgw on November 12, 2005, 08:36:43 pm

I am using OZ 3.5.4(rc) on a Zaurus 5500.  I have a Targus "Universal Wireless Keyboard" that I understand can be used on the Z.  So far I don't have it running.

I wanted to use the Z in Landscape mode and found that I can change the direction of the screen rotation in the Appearance settings.  That is good because otherwise the IR port would be facing down and not be accessible.

Questions I have at this point are

What is the best way to attach the Z to the keyboard?  

What package do I need to install in the Z to get it talking to the keyboard?

Anyone else doing this?  I know that it does get used with the Z, but haven't got it going here yet.

Cheers
Ken

I have this keyboard and using a program called irk, that you can find on elsi, it works fine. Mind you, I use the Sharp ROM and I don't know if it works in Opie.
