Debian / Using Fbiterm, Rotate Frame Buffer Console 90 Degrees?
« on: February 04, 2008, 09:06:07 am »
Frustrated with the slow speed of any X11 app on my zaurus, I'm trying to set up a Japanese console environment. fbiterm appears to display Japanese text fine, except that it's portrait rather than landscape. This won't do. How do I rotate the frame buffer by 90 degrees so that it displays landscape?

Debian / Titchy Keymap

Heh... when people will end reinventing wheel...

Ångström has working keymap for all Zaurus models.

So, maybe I should just grab the Angstrom keymap. How does it handle the F keys?

I should own up, though; this partly is my own ignorance. The "@" is mapped to shift+-, not Fn+-. It looks like I can use xmodmap to map F1-F10. I still haven't figured out right-click or center-click, though, and as reported in another thread, the mouse is jumping around. It's incapability to draw a straight line is almost completely incapacitating Kanjipad (not to mention mtpaint).

Otherwise I am happier with Titchy than I have been with any other distro.

Debian / Titchy Keymap
« on: December 10, 2007, 08:50:19 am »
I am trying to figure how to fix the titchy keymap. Titchy is wonderful in many ways, but I need to be able to right click with the mouse by holding the Fn key. I also want to map Fn+(1-0) to F1-F10. Also, the @ symbol above the - doesn't work with Fn. I can't figure out where the textfile to edit those is. I thought it was in /etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz, but comparing what is written in there and the output of xev makes me think that boottime.kmap.gz isn't where the current keymap is. xev gives way different keycodes. Can someone sort me out? What do I need to be editing?

i think the -static is the culprit. just remove it and try again or download the source i used which compiled without any problems.

Thank you! Eliminating that allowed the latest snapshot to compile and run without segfaults or anything (at least, not yet). I'm glad to know there aren't really problems with compiling. I've now compiled screen, wmii, dwm, htop, abook, worker, and others without trouble.

As an aside, there ought to be packages for several of those things above. Maybe I'm missing a console fan's feed...

That's odd - strictly speaking, "-lc" shouldn't even be passed explicitly as it's automatically included. Try deleting it from the config.mk file and recompiling.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it didn't make any difference. The same error resulted.

did you also rerun configure again after that before you started recompiling?

Thanks a lot for your attention to my problem.

There's no configure for wmii. The readme just says run make and then make install after editing the config.mk file. I ditched the unpacked tar, reunpacked it, and then removed -lc from this line:

Code: [Select]
# Includes and libs
INCS = -I. -I${ROOT}/include -I${INCLUDE} -I/usr/include
LIBS = -L/usr/lib -lc

so that it read:

Code: [Select]
LIBS = -L/usr/lib
Then I ran make. The process began again from the very beginning, like before, and resulted in the exact same error.

Now, I'll admit that I don't really know what I am doing. I've barely started to learn C, so this is all over my head. Have I edited the line incorrectly? I suppose another possibility is that there's something else in config.mk that I haven't configured correctly. Here's the whole file:

The 28 meg or the 40 meg zgcc?  If I recall correctly, there were some issues with one of the versions--I don't remember which, but do remeber there was some discussion a month or so ago..
[div align=\"right\"][a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=166033\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a][/div]

It's the 40 mb one. I'll try to hunt down that thread and take a look.

I have questions about setting up pdaxii13 for compiling apps natively.

I am running into problems compiling the wmii window manager, which I mention in this thread:

https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...=0&#entry166021

I think part of the problem may be similar to that described in this thread:

https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showt...st=&#entry86574

I can compile some things, such as GNU screen (I couldn't get either of the two packages I found in feeds to work). However, wmii is failing because, as it was described to me, it can't find libc. I know the sources are good because I compiled them without trouble on two laptops.

The second link above talks about creating some symbolic links to various files. Could someone explain this in more detail than the above thread or point me to some more detailed documentation on how to do this?

I should add that I'm using zgcc-3.4.6.squashfs in /data mounted to /opt/native/arm/3.4.6-xscale-softvfp.

Looks like it's looking for libc. I don't know if that is in the feed, or if you need to build it.

I have glibc 2.2.5 installed. Is it not the same thing? I'm using the squashfs from here:

I'm trying to compile wmii on pdaxii13 (sl-c3200):

http://www.suckless.org/wiki/wmii

When I try make, I'm getting this error:

Code: [Select]
LD cmd/wmiir.o
/opt/native/arm/3.4.6-xscale-softvfp/lib/gcc/armv5tel-cakco-linux/3.4.6/../../../../armv5tel-cacko-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [wmiir.o] Error 1
make: *** [dall] Error 2

The source compiled fine on my Ubuntu machine. Any ideas? Have I failed to install some other package that I need?

Rather late in this thread, but is it true that any card with the same manfid is essentially the same card? I've got an I-O Data WN-G54/CF with the same manfid 0x02df, 0x8103.

Promisingly, I've found this page which seems to be an effort to write drivers:

http://projects.linuxtogo.org/projects/marvell8385/

Then there's this:

I just haven't had time yet to figure out how to put all this together under pdaxrom.
