Zaurus - pdaXrom / re-mapping keys via xmodmap

« on: December 12, 2003, 10:16:40 am »

I\'ve been using the fluxbox window manager, but am getting weary of all of the control + 1 ,2 & 3 key strokes. Since I\'ve got the keys right of the Fn key mapped per Foxdie\'s instructions; I\'m wanting to remap the Calendar=mouse left toggle, Address=mouse middle toggle and Mail=mouse right toggle. That way I can toggle the mouse buttons with a single stroke. I don\'t see in the corgi.xmodmap where ctrl + 1, 2 & 3 are assign to mouse buttons. I assume there is some other file where this is set. Can anybody point me in the right direction?

By the way Many thanks to Sash & omin0ous & the Cacko team for their fantastic work!  

Thanks,
Jerry

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Fluxbox on cacko.biz feed

« on: December 10, 2003, 05:37:12 pm »

Looks like omin0us & Sash have been busy. I downloaded fluxbox and it works great so far.

There are also some new games, including gnuboy (haven\'t gotten that to work yet).

This X11 ROM is already rockin! Can\'t wait to have a good PIM app.

Offroadgeek may need to setup a mirror of the feed to keep up

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Keyboard dead after one suspend via On/Off ?

« on: December 10, 2003, 10:56:47 am »

whenever I\'m suspending via the \"On/Off\" key and resume via the \"Power On\" key on the keyboard, the keyboard is dead afterwards. Using the \"Exit\" button and selecting \"Sleep\" does not show that behaviour!

Sorry crazy-b, I can\'t replicate that. Works fine for me. What 7X0 are you using?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Cacko Updater

« on: December 10, 2003, 08:39:34 am »

Doh!  :oops:  Thanks Sash, I was searching the wrong card for the backup file! I had switched from using my CF and had installed from the SD but had kept searching the CF.

Now it\'ll be easier to switch back & forth unitl X11 PIM apps are available. Then there will be no reason to go back to Sharp-based ROMs!

Zaurus - pdaXrom / Cacko Updater

« on: December 09, 2003, 10:55:22 pm »

I tried using the Updater to backup my User partition and was expecting a prompt for selecting where to save it. But it only asked for a name. Which after I entered one and ran the backup. But now I can\'t find where it placed the backup (or determine if it worked).

Anyone have success if using the Updater Backup?

Zaurus - pdaXrom / gimp icon?

« on: December 09, 2003, 02:36:26 pm »

are you looking for an icon to use? or how to set up the icon. If you are wanting to create the icon you need to have a loot at ~/usr/apps/ROX-CLib/Help/README, that should have  all you need to make them. also check out ~/usr/apps/ROX-CLib/Help/rox-clib.html

hope that helps you out.

Thanks for info, but not all of us are young wiz-kids like yourself (note small measure of jealousy on both the youth & wiz parts).

In looking at the help doc and then opening AppRun in vi, am I correct in assuming that if you copy the AppRun file; replace the BIN= line with the path to the executable you want to add and make appropriate revisions the xml file and add a AppIcon.xpm that would work?

The above assumes you\'re adding this to a new folder named for the app

Am I close?

Thanks,

Jerry

« on: December 08, 2003, 04:40:14 pm »

Do you like the new site design? Comments and suggenstions are welcome..

Welcome Sash, glad to see you posting here    Site looks very good, the list of what was changed/fixed in new ROM very helpful.

What about bug reporting/tracking?

Add that cool wallpaper from the ROX pinboard screen shot to your download section!

Cheers,

Zaurus - pdaXrom / New Cacko X11 ROM Beta with installer!

« on: December 03, 2003, 08:48:14 pm »

Check it out www.cacko.biz/~sash/feed/ROM

Unpack the 3 files on the CF card (won\'t work from the SD) initrd.bin, updater. and tools.tar (don\'t untar the tools.tar as updater will take care of it)

The updater Sash has written has a GUI with backup options. It\'ll detect which 7X0 you have and flash the correct kernel. Very slick! Sash has set the bar very high!

It gives the option to erase the data so you don\'t have to go to the 3rd menu option after flashing the ROM.

He included a readme.txt which explains how to use the right mouse options anc ctrl & alt.

Wireless is working, I\'m sending this from my 750 with the X11 (to get WEP working I had to enter the key vs the passphrase).

now time to install some apps from his feed, hope to find a decent PIM app!

Cheers

Zaurus - pdaXrom / new ROM = new forum

« on: November 20, 2003, 12:00:14 am »

I pretty sure it an alpha. Lot\'s of stuff doesn\'t work. The wireless config, etc. But it\'s fun to play with and shows great potential. The ROX desktop is well suited for a PDA device, but I haven\'t been able to figure out to do the equavalent of a right mouse click to access a lot of the features of the system. I was able to install vnc a server with the hope I could use my PC to right mouse click to configure the desktop, but no go. Couldn\'t get a simple left mouse click to work as a screen tap.
