New custom Qtopia ROM for c7x0/860

Michael (offroadgeek), you\'re not the only one

I\'ve told Sashz many details on it but he hasn\'t seen that kinda crash, it happens when the screensaver activates, most commonly on Battery power. It happens to me the most when I\'m listening to MP3\'s with the Music Player. I found a way to disable the screen (or rather set it so it doesn\'t come on for 12 hours). Here is the mini-howto I wrote, I\'ve just copied and pasted it:

Launch a terminal window or SSH in and make sure you\'re SU\'ed and do the following:
Code: [Select]
cd /home/zaurus/Settings/

chmod 666 qpe.conf

vi qpe.conf

Then use the down arrow to scroll down to the Screensaver section and highlight the first number after \"Interval_AC_ScreenSaver = \" and press shift+r and type in 43200 and then press escape.
Then highlight the first number after \"blank = \" and press r by itself and then 1 and then escape.
Then type in :wq and press enter. This should then be followed by \"chmod 644 qpe.conf\" when the bash shell returns.

Please note that this is only a temporary solution while the Cacko team figure out how to fix this bug. You will also need to restart Qtopia after doing this, you can do this by going to the settings tab and then clicking on Shutdown.

why can\'t you just put screensaver time to be zero in qpe.conf?  I do it and the screensaver is disabled unless I change power settings with the gui.  I rarely change power settings since the 760 has hard keys for brightness
I'm now an iphone user and use my zaurii as serial terminals, perl and shell scripting and when I need 640x480 screens

All layouts have Euro char: 
Fn + 5 

keyboard layout files placed in directory: 
~/Applications/cyrillica/ 

How is this done?  I cannot seem to find any reference to it in the ~/Applications/cyrillica/ directory.  All the other changes seem to be in there?

I would like to reverse this as I have no need for the euro sign, but a couple of apps that use fnc+5 don\'t recognise the keypress (qkonsole for one).

PS offraodgeek/foxdie, I am just wondering if the reason the screensaver bug has not affected me after many days of use, is possibly due to the fact that I changed it to run as root instead of zaurus pretty much immediately after flashing.

Is it possible to use the Japanese keys between \"Fn\" and \"-\" as modifiers for entering national characters? I would like to prepare a keyboard map for Polish :-)

Edit the /home/QtPalmtop/qpe.sh file and replace the the lines with zaurus with root. I did this so wellenreiter will run properly.
