C1000/3x00 General discussions / Restoring Original Data To Hdd3

« on: December 08, 2008, 10:02:29 am »

I nuked the internal disk to try debian but now want to set up dual boot with sharprom, but have some problems restoring the original data.  The dictionaries and translator data are on the original CDs, but I can't find the sd_map data for mobilemap and there is a dg2-4350.tar.gz for norikae, but I don't know where it goes (contents are j_local.jdi j_tokyu.jdi kuuro.jdi s_local.jdi s_tokyu.jdi shinkan.jdi).  Thanks!

New products and alternatives / Pandora Is Starting To Really Interest Me

« on: December 08, 2008, 06:07:41 am »

Not at all. Ubuntu is OFFICIALLY porting Ubuntu to the Pandora's architecture (armv7a), meaning it will be like Debian on the Z (except faster due to increased CPU speed and the correct optimizations for the CPU): Just about everything that's open-source and in Ubuntu will be available for the Pandora.

unfortunately, just because ubuntu or debian etc support a given cpu architecture doesn't mean that it'll run on any given platform using that architecture...

Software / Emacs For Zaurus

« on: October 19, 2008, 10:25:12 am »

Thanks for posting this. I've been looking all over for a non-X Emacs.

X-enabled emacs all run in terminal mode if there's no X present (as in emacs -nw).

#4 To use stylus/mouse/finger (  ) to help nevigating:
Add this to the end of .emacs:

Code: [Select]

(xterm-mouse-mode)(zdevil)

this works with qkonsole in sharprom, nice, thanks! (but should be

Code: [Select]

(xterm-mouse-mode t)I think)

I would love to run qt4 embedded on debian, directly on linuxfb.

-> Request Qt4.4 build with -embedded arm and linuxfb as graphics driver.

Any chance that'd let you run sharprom apps under debian? (with a bit of chrooting too I guess...)

Debian / Canon K30225 Cf Wifi

There are some cheap Canon K30225 CF wifi cards on ebay at the moment.  Anyone using one with debian?  Thanks.

Sharp ROMs / "this Package Seems To Depend......

« on: April 15, 2008, 07:52:24 am »

What ever happened to the simplicity of just running the standard "ldd" command?

it's not useful if you can't find the name and version of the package that contains a suitable copy of the missing shared library, or if the dependency isn't a shared library at all but something else

fortunately, the package dependencies are stored in the package file:

Code: [Select]

tar zxOf whatever.ipk ./control.tar.gz | tar zxOf - ./control | grep '^Depends: '

Debian / Right Click

« on: March 22, 2008, 09:57:48 pm »

OK, it appears I'd either need to put the code in the WM (going to do that for EvilWM) or give the daemon a window (no idea how that would work).

I guess you can use XSelectInput.  See xsnoop.c for an example.

If the X server supports the XKB extension you can use xmodmap to map the mouse buttons onto the keyboard

Of course, that's not really useful for a touchscreen!  I was distracted by the program to generate click events and forgot about the original idea...  This is great for a one-button trackpad (I'm looking at you, MacBook), but for a touchscreen, there's no mouse move, just click and drag, so it only lets you right/middle-click somewhere where you already just left clicked...  

xbindkeys might do what you want though if you use the press event to change the mapping and the release event to put it back.

If the X server supports the XKB extension you can use xmodmap to map the mouse buttons onto the keyboard, see http://www.geocities.jp/fred_b_maciel/kbd/kbd-e.html.

Interesting...
So what does "...On .xinitrc, I read the symbols with xmodmap from a file that contains the lines below. This maps the keys to the buttons; shift-key combinations lock/unlock the buttons..." means? How to check the keycodes for Pointer_Button1/2/3 (not in /etc/X11/kb/blah/*.xmodmap)?

ok, for this to work, you need these 3 things:

1) an x server with XKB support.  xfree/x.org and commercial servers have this.  check with

Code: [Select]

xdpyinfo|grep XKEYBOARDI haven't checked with the x servers on the z (xfbdev or something?) but I think I saw someone using the standard debian x.org server...

2) a key with a keysym called Pointer_Button[1-3].  e.g. use

Code: [Select]

xmodmap -e 'keysym F12 = Pointer_Button3'see the xmodmap man page for more

3) MouseKeys turned on.  this makes the keys with the Pointer_Button keysyms generate the click event.  get Freeware AccessX from http://cita.disability.uiuc.edu/software/a...wareaccessx.php and build, then run

Code: [Select]

ax +mousekeysto turn it on.  there's a few other options at http://www.math.missouri.edu/%7Estephen/software/#accessx if you have trouble building that one

this all works fine on a debian/i386 system, haven't tried it on the z yet

Debian / Right Click

« on: March 20, 2008, 06:55:16 am »

Is it possible to have something like

Fn + tap = right click ( ONE time only ) ?

Not like "To change in right click mode, press something, to change it back to left click mode, press something else". I hate this.

 any ideas?

Ah, even tap and hold would work when keyboard cannot be used.

If the X server supports the XKB extension you can use xmodmap to map the mouse buttons onto the keyboard, see http://www.geocities.jp/fred_b_maciel/kbd/kbd-e.html.

Debian / Anki Under Eabi?

« on: February 25, 2008, 06:23:28 am »

Anki is a nice spaced repetition system (Leitner-style flashcard program) with a debian package.  If you are interested in learning the kanji, for example, you might like to check it out.

I'm trying it under debian arm (oabi) but am having problems with floats in the sqlite database, so I'm wondering if the changes to fpe under eabi might make a difference.  If anyone tries it out on their eabi system please let me know. Details of the bug can be found here, but the basic problem is that a deck copied from a debian/i386 system will have wacky random dates when opened on the z.

Thanks!

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Gps For Zaurus

I thought that went without saying - but the chances of running into a chipset that linux doesn't support are pretty slim these days (usb-serial.o handles *heaps*), especially in the cheap-usb-gps space. I don't particularly see it as something to worry about.

Capn_Fish: you should have no problems with the GR-213. It's got a PL2303 serial chip in it, which is the most common one out there. Linux definitely supports it.

if your only experience with usb is mass storage and ptp, where there is only one standard and drivers are common, then you might think there was a usb serial standard too and that your kernel is going to have support for it.  that's not the case, and on the z getting a new kernel module isn't necessarily trivial.  the device I mentioned, for example, needs a less common module, and another device mentioned in this thread apparently requires a third party driver, so it's definately something to check if you are going to buy a new device to use with a z

Gojira: Do you have a link to that GPS?
