X/Qt / Xqt installation

myotis,

If you haven't already done so, try downgrading the xqt-server package to 0.08.

I don't know if it's as cool as all that, but here are a couple of my ports for X/Qt.


Here's NetHack X11 ascii mode using a custom font:

Do bdf or pcf fonts work?

Angstrom & OpenZaurus / GPE image: how to install fonts?

« on: September 24, 2004, 03:58:23 pm »

Apparently many fonts are built into the kdrive X server that the GPE environment uses.  Does anyone know how new fonts are installed?  I noticed that there is no "mkfontdir" utility included, and I can't see a file where I can specify a font path, either.

Also, does anyone know how to get a list of the fonts that are built into the server?

All in all, it looks nice, but it has a number of issues that need to be fixed before it can really stand on its own.  I'm looking forward to future releases, however (I used to own an Agenda VR3, and I loved that it used the X environment as well).

X/Qt / Working pdaXrom apps

« on: September 18, 2004, 08:34:13 am »

Pdaxrom nethack installs fine, but has problems with the scrollbar sliders (ie they dont work properly, only ever goes down or to the right). Otherwise great!

That's not a bug; that's how the Athena toolkit scrollbars work, unfortunately.  The left mouse button scrolls down or right, the right button scrools up or left, and the middle button causes the scrollbar to jump to the cursor position.

Adding these lines to your Netscape.ad file should cause the scrollbar to work better without having to rely on extra mouse buttons:

NetHack*scrollbar.Translations:    #override \n\
    <Btn1Motion>:MoveThumb()  NotifyThumb()

FYI I am working on a X/Qt-specific NetHack X11 package optimized for smaller screens, in case anyone is interested.
