YAY ... its an issue with the WM installed ... have unroatted xfce4 running
This is with startxfce4 not the base startx. Got it to rotate by typeing xrandr -o right in the prompt.

"xrandr -o right" is in the testing afterinstall.sh (~/.xsession). Or you do without it?
(sorry just wanna know if more mistakes are knocking on my door)

Brave Chero!

The xrandr -o right is in the .profile ... but xfce4 seems to ignore the .profile for some reason.

But xrandr -o right should do nothing in .profile ...

keymap in xfce4 seems to be buggered. Need an xmodmap for the z.

hehe ... icewm (-experimental) is more easy-going to me.

xrandr -o right in .xsession had no effect

How would you add xrandr -o right to some X config file?
(this will be useful for the FAQs -- WMs)

installing uboot won't harm my internal drive - done it before.

However : something went wrong - I guess I need my other magical SD-card for flashing the kernel.
I'll do it tomorrow cause that card is at work ....

So far for today's episode - to be continued .

Thanks for all the help;
Goodnight.
BTW : little Chero is already sleeping for 3 hours .

Add it in "autostarted apps" in xfce-settings.

While messing with the files, startxfce now acts just like startx ... yay ...

After running ts_calibrate ... startx fixed itself ... love the wierd

Yeah xrandr -o right works from the autostart app in xfce4, dirty but it will do for now.

Found it lol ... manually create in home, .xsession (chmod +x .xsession after you make it)
Should contain this basically;

#!/bin/bash
xrandr -o right
xfce4-session

Hope this helps?

Thanks. The afterinstall.sh should have "chmod 4755 ~/.xsession". Upload again.

Updated the big guide (071029):
1. Added basic after installation instructions to Debian EABI installation
2. Updated zaurus-hardware-eabi tarball and afterinstall.sh to 0.3 (i think it's better to use the same versioning for both)

Please test, comment, post, have fun.

I'm on the 2.6.22 Angstrom kernel => that might explain the calibration problem.
Going to flash a new one ...

flashed this kernel -> changed .profile to ts0 again -> ts_calibrate works -> startx : icewm loaded.

Now, lets play.
