Debian with Xqt

[hatchetman]

To do the middle mouse button:
# Fn + Shift + Tap : Center click

I looked over the Xqt source code for how it handles choosing which button to choose but I don't have many answers.

At line 330 in qtscreen.cc you have this function
void qtScreen::mouseButtonEvent(QMouseEvent *ev, int isPress)
which interprets ev->button() to decide what mouse button you want.

I think ev->button() is passed from Qt because the case statement refers to LeftButton, MidButton, and RightButton which are also found in qnamespace.h. This says to me that the mouse button control isn't even a part of Xqt but comes from Qtopia. Maybe someone with with Qt development experience could enlighten us. This doesn't mean it still can't be remapped inside the X server, I don't know what applications to use though.

I checked out to see if xmodmap could be used to modify the mouse clicks, but I didn't come up with any usefull information. Have you checked out KeyHelper? I never tried running it, but maybe that can do what you are looking for.

Just if you've not tried it, the PocketTop (aka, micro-innovation) IR keyboard works in the debain. Very useful for working in the landscape mode.

* lower case alphabetic: enable "Caps lock" (a little awkward)
* capital letters: disable "Caps lock", use Shift + X
* numeric keys and punctuations: works out-of-box

FYI,  installed craig's IRK 0.11

Hi,
I finally managed to install Pocket debian on my SL-6000, but I am having some problems in finding some of the Keyboard mapping ans shortcuts.
Maybe you could help me in finding:
Right button press
Center button press (is is fn+shift+click?)
Ctrl
Alt
The Keyboard shortcut for swithcinh desktops in ICE-WM
The keyboard Shortcut for Swithcing active window in ICE-WM

Thank you very much, I am not very used to Ice-WM and therefore sometimes I do  ot know if I am trying to do the right key combinations but htey are mapped differently than I think, or If I am trying a completely wron shortcut! :-(

Do you also know if there are other deb repositories tht can be used in pocket debian?
In the official one there are a lot of packages but some things I would like to try are missing and I do not know if they are simply unavailable for debian for ARM or if they could be somewhere else

Thank you very much for the support and for the gret job done in simplifying the setup of pocket deb!

Couple of questions before I take the plunge and screwup, I mean install Debian with XQt on my C3000....


1) Since I have C3000 with 4GB internal microdrive, should I install directly on microdrive or use external storage card?

2) If it's good idea to install on microdrive, what should I do differently than install instructions?

3) If it is better to use external storage, should I use one of my 1GB SD cards or get another microdrive? I can get a good deal on a 2GB microdrive today locally...

4) What instructions would be best to follow for install??

Thanks for any and all help!!

Maybe you can find an the answers here (though it's not about X/QT) : [a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=9237&hl=debian]Full debian on C3000[/url]

I've read in these forums that microdrives are faster than SD-cards and are better to use for swap, so ...

Thanks for the heads up on that, Chero!

Anybody can advise on the install questions I have??

Thanks!

You say you installed X/Qt on your 3000, and say you want to run pocketworkstation, but you don't say that you have installed pocketworkstation and set up the chroot environment. Tell us a little bit more and maybe we can help.

Edit: I just noticed a possible error in your .xintrc file -- your export DISPLAY line. I have a startd file in my debian chroot environment with this line:

export DISPLAY=0:0

[yongyan99]

I was try export DISPLAY=0:0, but I get the same error. and I have installed pocketworkstation, write the startd file. when I run startx, the icewm report can't be display at :0.0 (or 0:0).
I start qpe with root user, my pocketworkstation was mount on /hdd3/.debroot (in the internal microdrive) with a 64m swapfile, my .xinitrc like this:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
export LANG=ja-JP.eucJP
export DISPLAY=:0.0

mount -t proc /proc /mnt/card/.debroot/proc'
chroot /mnt/card/.debroot/ /startdmy startd like this:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh
#Startup Commands
export DISPLAY=0:0
swapon /swapfile
/usr/bin/icewm-session
#Shutdown Commands
umount /proc
swapoff /swapfileI mean the X/Qt must be runing corret first pocketworkstation, but now my X/Qt can't run normally.

[amdonati]

YongYan, I do not know if the situation on the 3000 is the same as on the 6k, but I cannot connet to X from Root.

I have to start it as zaurus user in order to have Xqt and the Pocketworkstation start.
Did you try to start it as normal user?

Adalberto

[yongyan99]

I can startup X server with root user before I format the internal microdrive (/dev/hda3 on my C3000) to the ext2 filesystem. I don't know if ext2fs make this error.

This happend to me too.  I downloaded the new version and then everything worked fine.  Maybe you have some corrupt files?

About to finally try and install Debian with X/QT....

Already have a question for someone please....

I found that there are 2 different 'glibc-locale' files on the download page listed below. Item number 3 in the quote below just refers to a 'glibc-locale' file....

The 2 files are:

glibc-locale-ja-eucjp_2.2.2-1_arm.ipk

glibc-locale-ja-utf8_2.2.2-1_arm.ipk

Can anyone clarify as to whether I need to install both of them or just one?

If one only, which one??

Thanks!

Mark

This is a HowTo for installing and running X/Qt. All this information is probably in the discussion threads but I found them too meandering to be useful.
[SNIP]
You need to download and install the following packages from the X/Qt site. Make sure to install the packages in that order.
[SNIP]

1. xqt-fonts-misc
2. xqt-server
3. glibc-locale
4. xbase-etc
5. xlibs
6. xqt-startup-scripts
7. xbase-client
8. blackbox
9. rxvt

Got XQt Installed OK and working!

Now, trying to get Debian installed but ran into snag...
hope someone can advise please...

I want to reformat a 1GB SD card I've already used in my C3000.

Here's what happened:

Code: [Select]

$ su
# unmount /mnt/card
unmount:  not found
Any suggestions on how to unmount card or reformat it to 'ext2'

Thanks,

Mark
