First off let me say that this ROM is a real beuty. So very good.
I wonder how I can make Xterm launch with a predefined size ? I want it to lauch in size 30x80.
Regards.

standard X command line param ... -geometry, just use the second part... ie: the rows X cols, not the placement..
xterm -g 80x30

Thanks almost got everything working now. Its just that the ALT key doesnt work when in irssi (ctrl work)
I started like this;
xterm -g 80x30 -ti 102
hmm any clues ?
(ctrl and alt work in the OS otherwise)
-
I\'ll test that when I get home. I don\'t see why it would not work, unless irssi changes it.
test...
xterm -options
test ALT
run irssi
test ALT
exit irssi
test ALT
See if it can be isolated.

hmm im quite clueless. When I use Putty to ssh to where irssi is ALT works, but when i use my PDA/xterm to ssh to same server it doesnt work.
-
In order to get it working I just flashed my C700 with the ROM to get a clean install. And it seems that ALT isnt working in xterm by default. When you press for example ALT+a the outcome is \'a\'. It seems like xterm doesnt recognise the ALT button. Any suggestions ?

The weird ALT-behaviour of xterm was the reason for me to compile aterm (which by the way was the standard terminal in the last Cacko-X-ROM). It also cured my non-working backspace key when using vim.
You can get it at http://pmf.neominds.net/feed/aterm_0.4.2_armv5tel.ipk (http://pmf.neominds.net/feed/aterm_0.4.2_armv5tel.ipk).
Screenshot attached.
You can change the default terminal emulator matchbox uses in the file /usr/bin/mb-applet-xterm-wrapper.sh ... you\'ll see what to do.
Nice values for your ~/.Xresources to use with aterm are:
! --- Aterm settings
Aterm*font: -misc-fixed-*-*-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Aterm*background: black
Aterm*foreground: white
Aterm*transparent: true
Aterm*shading: 30
!Aterm*tinting: true
Aterm*transpscrollbar: true
!Aterm*fading: 30
! black / BLACK
Aterm*color0: #000000
Aterm*color8: #000000
! red / RED
Aterm*color1: #ff4f85

Nice, thanks PMF. I was really missing aterm.
-
Outstanding work! Works like a charm
Now if I could get this ROM to stop doing \'cardctl suspend\' Ill be very very pleased. I have looked around but cant find were to edit that setting Im almost only using the Zaurus for IRC so when the networkcard goes into sleep I lose my connection.
-
if I could just get the rom to not go to suspend mode when I\'m not actively using it (and on AC)
I\'d be happy! :-]
btw: thanks for aterm

ps: we can\'t get a dir listing of that feed?
I can see other listings in the Packages -- but no direct link to the filenames?

Unless I set this up wrong, aterm does not work correctly with some console apps. Midnight Commander and pico were 2 that I have noticed.
Using this port of aterm, In midnight commander the up/down/left/right butons are mapped to ABC and D.
Pico whines \'rxvt\': unknown terminal type.

This is related not to aterm itself but to the way the environment variable TERM is defined.
Do export TERM=xterm-new or export TERM=xterm-color (or put it in your .bashrc); I\'m sure this will help (in my case, vim and hnb behave correctly with \"xterm-color\").
A export COLORTERM=1 could also help.
Sometimes you come across applications (I remember the textmode-browser links being one) where you\'ll have to export TERM=vt100 or even export TERM=""

You can fix this easily from within MC - Options | learn keys. Simply select the key you want to bind (using pointer), then press the desired key (twice).
Hope that helps,
