Title: buttons on 5500 with oz3.5.1 and gpe
Post by: ali on October 11, 2004, 07:41:14 am

hi,

i was playing with the new oz 3.5.1 and trying out the new opie and gpe.
what i can say so far, is that i like gpe a lot better, simply because i really don't
like the security concept (is there one?) of opie (like logging in as root, working as root
not having a root-password set with the sshd running and so on..). also i like x and gtk
better than embedded qt, but that's just my personal taste.

what i don't like though, is that many applications in gpe seem to be only half-ported
from the familiar-ipaq-disto. and the button-config-thingy seems to be one of those.
here is what i get when i call gpe_config keyctl from the console:

-snip-
$ gpe-conf keyctl
init_keyboard
parse_rc: /home/ali/.keylaunchrc
create_new_key: ???Pressed XF86AudioRecord:-:mbcontrol -desktop
Keysym not found, for key definition '???Pressed XF86AudioRecord'
create_new_key: ???Pressed XF86Calendar:-:gpe-calendar
Keysym not found, for key definition '???Pressed XF86Calendar'
create_new_key: ???Pressed telephone:-:gpe-contacts
Keysym not found, for key definition '???Pressed telephone'
create_new_key: ???Pressed XF86Mail:-:gpe-taskmanager
Keysym not found, for key definition '???Pressed XF86Mail'
create_new_key: ???Pressed XF86Start:-:/usr/bin/gpe-sketchbookmbcontrol -desktop
Keysym not found, for key definition '???Pressed XF86Start'
create_new_key: ???XF86PowerDown:apm --suspend
Keysym not found, for key definition '???XF86PowerDown'
create_new_key: ???Held XF86PowerDown:bl toggle
Keysym not found, for key definition '???Held XF86PowerDown'
create_new_key: ???Combine XF86Calendar XF86Start:gpe-keylock
Keysym not found, for key definition '???Combine XF86Calendar'
-snap-

is there any way for me (without a x-compiler installed) to fix this or will i have to wait
until a new version is out?

and there is an other issue: gpe-galery segfaults when i try to access a directory
with images in it (e.g. when i insert a cf-memory from my camera and point gpe-galery to it, it would segfault the very moment i close the directory-browser).

i hope there are solutions to these issues because i really like gpe a LOT better
than opie for the reasons stated above, and i would like to continue using it.

any help is appreciated.

regards,

ali
