[ZDevil]

to answer some of my quetions:

4 gig sd works

it seems pretty stable

i will try some previous firefox plugins: java, gplflash,and mplayerplugin to see what happens.

Would you mind telling us which brand is your 4 gig SD?  

[adf]

it has a pink label  on blue plastic that says MyFlash and 150x
I bought it for about $90 US at zipzoomfly.com
They listed it a a Patriot 4 gig 150x.  It has been recently available at newegg, too.
right now the 4gig patriot at zzf is a 133x (for a good price, too). I wasn't able to find any on a quick search, but I bet if you poke around a bit you'll find one.

edit:  while searching I found descriptions that match this card as as an "A-Data" brand.

Many thanks. Pity that both zzf and newegg ship within US only. Gotta find a friend to help me get one.

no luck with the firefox java plugin -- it wants libiconv.

Since cortez has posted java updates, maybe updating the plugin was about due anyway.  I haven't got a 1.4 builder setup.  Anyone who already has stuff compiling for 1.4 care to give it a whirl?

3) Keyboard maps are wrong, but you have only to load the right one with the xmodmap command in X.
The right keyboard map is in the /etc/X11/kb/Akita/xmodmap_us, only do a script that loads the right file when launching X and that' s it.

But I find xmodmap already linked to xmodmap_us. Still after exiting to the login shell, "A" and Up arrow keys (while the jog switch is working) won't function and need reboot. How do you fix that precisely? Thanks!

Right, there are 2 separated commands to load the map in the shell and X.
For the shell is loadkeys and you have to load the /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/Spitz/keymap.map
To have the a key functioning only press the fn key with it and then load the map with loadkeys.
I don' t really know now what' s the corresponding keycodes of the bare terminal environment as they are different from the X one.
In X i use xev, do you know there' s a corresponding command for the shell?
Byez!

Thanks. I used loadkeys /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/Akita/keymap.map (instead of Spitz) and it seems to work. But the hassle is I need to do it every time X is loaded.
Still fiddling with xev. Hope can work it out soon.

HEHHEHEH!! Yes i know, but it' s only a symlink to the /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/Spitz/keymap.map
Now, if you check the /etc/rc.d/init.d/x11 you will see the line
test -f /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/kernel.map -a -f /usr/bin/loadkeys && /usr/bin/loadkeys /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/kernel.map
The kernel.map file is the one edited by the inputconfig.py utility to change the map of the keyboard in X.
Just delete it and the problem will be fixed with it. As inputconfig.py for the 2.6 kernel doesn' t work.
BYEZ!

Thanks again for your quick tip and explanation, Xromer!  I just renamed /etc/sysconfig/keyboard/kernel.map and now the keys come back. There are still a few things to tackle, such as the menu key is not mapped (pressing it won't bring out the X menu) and brightness is not mapped to any key (need to find a way to got setfl mapped somehow). Meanie has a modified keymap on his site. Will take a look soon and see how it fits.
By the way really thanks for your efforts to compile GPE pim stuff. Actually I have been trying them on my 860 (running Beta1). What I love most is the speed and lightweight, and most importantly I can use SCIM to input multilanguage characters in them!!  But still have yet to get atd and alarm to work despite using your latest cvs. Will read thru that thread and ask later. Really looking forward to your Beta4 packages I am very happy to test them out.
