Hi, Chero,

I am using SL-C1000, I've installed the package as you say. Everything runs fine except the screen can't change to horizontal.
Can you teach me ?
Because i can't change anything in Display Preference.

Attached a pic for your reference.

regds,
Ronald

have you tried "rotate" ?

It's in the menu ("fn" click on the desktop or click on the mouse in the panel), it's located in "other".

maybe xrandr can help you :
In an aterm :
# xrandr --help (gives you the help)
I suppose you need :
# xrandr -o 0 (this makes it landscape for me)
If 0 doesn't work, try 1, 2 and 3

When you get it right, try leaving xfce4 with a save of the session. Does it occur again like it was, or is it corrected ?

Anyone else with a C1000 ?

Hope this does the trick,
Chero.

fn-click on desktop doesn't working for me, i have to tap and hold on the desktop to display the desktop-menu.
is it a proper behaviour?
is it customizable?

is there shortkeys to hide/display the panel?

thanks in advance for your answers

best regards

I don't know about customizing mouse behaviour, i suppose you can customize it.

Hiding the panel : use autohide in the properties of the panel.

i found out that right click=shift+tab, not fn+tab
is this definition in code or in a config-file?

best regards

re-launch xfce4-panel without restarting.

Also, try to remove canonical menu before trying to put the new panel
anyway I found a bit hard to configure it. Any better experience?

any idea ?

I installed the systray applet and it's perfect with gtk-ish notification, like the gaim one.
But matchbox-applets show completely white boxes
if you click on'em they actually do the job, but a battery applet not-showing-battery life isn't that usefull....
the panel doesn't throw any error on mb-applet loading, and the same applets show perfectly in the taskbar-systray (the second bar we are trying to remove).

We should find the differences between the two different systray implementation.
Maybe a different library? Anyone knows mb-applet details? How they differ from gtk notifications?

goodnight

thank you Chero... your screenshot made me see the mb applets correctly showing. This made me test some more time and I could see thet all the applets icons become visible if you modify panel dimension (even if you finally put it back to your original size: it's just a matter of refreshing'em).

I love much more my zaurus now that I have both laptop feeling and performance (as to interface )

Did you configure the panel-menu ?
Do you have the "system"-menu in it or did you have to do it all manually ?

Could you please comment on this ?

@cmpayc:
I think the mouse behaviour depends on xmodmap
I remember I changed my startxfce4 and initrc files to load the default one for C860.
Before I did this, I needed shift to produce right click.
Maybe you need another one ?
BTW : can you already add plugins ?

Chero.

IIRC the behaviour of the mouse (delay or keys, which keys) is defined in the .xinitrc

This can be changed via the input helper application, but I don't think it has been changed for the C-1000. (as it is a python application it is easy to open the script and see what's going on).
