ANN: Fluxbox 0.9.10

[Xumbi]

Done...

I must be missing something, where are they?

[bastichelaar]

I edited the first post of this topic... The IPK is in the unstable feed on www.pdaxrom.org. Man, it is 2 a.m. and I`m posting this from my Zaurus over GPRS...

[Xumbi]

Ok, so the sample files must be in the new ipk I imagine...

THANK YOU!
It's beautiful!!!

However, my function key doesn't work*.  xev shows it as an alt key, same as the ones with the Japanese characters.  Is this just something in a config file that I can fix?  I have all sorts of wonderful plans for the fluxbox keys file, but I need this to work first.

*Doesn't work: keypresses are read as normal even with function key pressed.

can it be configured to have the 'menu' button pull up the on screen menu (same as tap and hold)?

Just look at this AWESOME screenshot... Fluxbox rox, I will upload this as a theme soon! The quality is not very good, but it's an impression

how about including a battery indicator.
does the ~/.fluxbox/keys work as well as the desktop version
are there keycodes for the jogdial and ok/cancel buttons

I use fluxbox as my windowmanager in linux, nice to see that I can use it in the zaurus too.

I use Torsmo (http://torsmo.sourceforge.net) for my battery status...

Torsmo shows battery status?

[bastichelaar]

Yes, use $battery as variable in ~/.torsmorc...

Hi bastichelaar

i've installed the packages you've given in the first post (fluxbox and the theme). then i've backed up my .xinitrc and created a new one that only contains "exec /usr/local/bin/fluxbox"

then i start X by using "startx" and the fluxbox taskbar appears, but not the desktop, so I just can see that gray-grid background from the X server

What should i tweak to get the fluxbox desktop or set the background?

there's a script called "fbsetbg" in your fluxbox ipk. i figured out it was for setting the background, so i gave a try this way:

Code: [Select]

fbsetbg -f /path/to/my/background/image
but then appears an xmessage that says it can't find an app to set the wallpaper with, and suggests me to install Eterm. No wallpaper is set

any hint?

thanks

Jenn:

Go to this url: http://www.dangerz.net/dz/xinitrc

If you want, you can wget that from your Zaurus.  Use that as your .xinitrc and that'll should everything for fluxbox.  Comment out the trosmo and vdesk lines tho if you dont have/use them.

For those whose function key also may not work,

Code: [Select]

xmodmap /etc/X11/kb/corgi.xmodmap
Solved my problem perfectly, thanks dz!

[Jenn]

thanks dz! but still no background image, neither a way to set it

Changing system styles works fine, but when i change to the only one user style that is present, the wallpaper does not appear. where in the theme config file is defined that image?  is it possible to define a wallpaper anywhere in the fluxbox menus? does fbsetbg actually work? yeah, i know, RTFM

i'm getting the same no background problem as you  

and when I launch aterm, it launches in a transparent window (which is nice) but the shape is all messed up, tall and narrow instead of like a box
