Zumi:

I've installed the latest version but can't seem to get either the silk screen buttons nor the shortcut buttons to work  

I tried altering the .xinitrc.fvwm file to call the userdefined.xmodmap instead of your fvwm.xmodmap but still doesn't work.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jerry

EDIT:

Also, I'm noticing that the light & power settings aren't working in fvwm. I've got mine set to not dim the screen when on AC, but in fvwm the screen will blank after several minutes of inactivity.

Hi?

What is the name of that virtual keyboard program that
appears in the screenshot in post#1?  I'm trying the
SL-5500 pdaXrom, and hoping it is available.
 
Thanks for any info,  John

Oh, now I understand! Thanks for the screenshots.
It's because the taskbar is always on top, so the applications can't cover it.
If you remove StaysOnTop from this part of the .fvwm2rc file:

Code: [Select]

Style ZaurusTaskbar NoTitle, NoHandles, BorderWidth 0, Sticky, WindowListSkip, NeverFocus
Style ZaurusTaskbar CirculateSkip, StaysOnTop, FixedPosition, FixedSize, !Iconifiablewell, than it doesn't StaysOnTop. As this isn't perfect solution, we can start thinking on a better one.

Maybe you still have a bad xmodmap file... Try xev, what does it say when you hit the silkscreen buttons? It should call them XF86Launch1-5. If the problem is not this, run the .fvwm/menu-generate.py and maybe it generates some errors for you.

I tried altering the .xinitrc.fvwm file to call the userdefined.xmodmap instead of your fvwm.xmodmap but still doesn't work.

I changed that userdefinied.xmodmap -> fvwm.xmodmap because I made keybindings for the "Home" button and I wanted to make sure that it won't be mapped as alt or ctrl.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jerry

Short answer: I know.
Longer: It's because ztaskbar (the systray program; I know it's pretty confusing, I'm planning a name change ), so that ztaskbar doesn't aware of it yet. It won't be hard to add it that when there's an AC - battery change it run the xset program with the proper arguments but I haven't done this yet.

Hmm, xev show it calling XF86Launch and the buttons worked as mapped in Matchbox, so I don't think its the xmodmap.

.fvwm/menu-generate.py runs fine, no errors.

Are there any model specific calls related to the xmodmap somewhere else? Any body out there with a C750 with similar issues?

I hate it when I can't figure this stuff out

Zumi & Christoph:

I've found that I had multiple instances of the same process running after when switching back & forth from landscape & portrait several times. I had 5 instances of the mb-applet-blanker and 2 instances of xystray. Xystray & the mb-applets were easy to take care of by adding

Code: [Select]

killall xystray
killall mb-applet-blanker
killall mb-applet-cardsto the begining of the landscape & portrait scripts
Now, I notice that there are several instances of the fvwm-hinge running is that normal? I never seem to have more than 2 running at the same time.

Code: [Select]

1606 root       1488 S   aterm -bg black -fg green -geomet
 1607 root       1456 S   -bash
 2021 root        348 S   /usr/lib/fvwm/2.5.12/FvwmCommandS

 2205 root       1988 S   /home/root/.fvwm/ztaskbar 13 4 no
Here's a screen shot of current config. I haven't gone too crazy yet. Waiting for the release to have a few more twitches worked out.

Thanks Zumi & Christoph for all your great work. Keep it up!

Hi jerrybme,

I've found that I had multiple instances of the same process running after when switching back & forth from landscape & portrait several times. I had 5 instances of the mb-applet-blanker and 2 instances of xystray. Xystray & the mb-applets were easy to take care of by adding

Code: [Select]

killall xystray
killall mb-applet-blanker
killall mb-applet-cardsto the begining of the landscape & portrait scripts

Just to be sure: If you kill xystray while the taskbar (I mean the whole one as fvwm module, not ztaskbar   ) is still running, it may be restarted because of the Respawn option for the swallowing. Maybe you should remove the Respawn (if you haven't done it yet) or do the killall after the module has been stopped in the script.

@Jerrybme:
This thing looks foobar.
I'll implement xystray and other stuff in a bit more user friendly way in the next version.

Try to debug those scripts you edited. I think you haven't put some applet in the background so the fvwm-landscape.sh doesn't end, that's why you have that much process.

Zumi

Ps.: @Christoph: I applied the patch you sent for the persistent user config files and easier menu editing, thanks!

Zumi:

Haven't heard from you in a while. I'm enjoying R12 and wondering if you're planning any updates to your scripts?

Cheers,

Zumi:
Any luck getting your ztaskbar app to display fonts better? I've been playing with jefklak's fvwm config
here. I like your ztaskbar for controling the backlight, it works great. I'm in the process of merging your solution for rotating the screen with jefklak's breaking up the config file into seperate parts. With perl & imagemagick installed I've even got screenshot thumbnailing working  

Here's some screenshots showing jefklak's modified menu, notice screenshot thumbnail in 2nd screenshot

Still lots to do to, ie merge your menu creation script, create multiple themes, etc.

Cheers,
Jerry
