Re: Bluetooth keyboards
Hello, Hi all. Howdy Will bluetooth keyboards work with the freerunner (qtmoko)? Well. It's a fully featured linux. I recently bought a bluetooth headset. Works like charm together with my FreeRunner (SHR) Shouldn't be SUCH a problem to also get it running under QtMoko and so I guess something simple as a keyboard will even be less tinkering to get it working. I bet there are thousand and one HowTos around. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-bluetooth-keyboard-and-mouse-in-ubuntu.html Bluetooth+HCID is the keyword Is there any update on the topic of BT keyboard+QtMoko? I am especially interested in the Freedom Pro Bluetooth Keyboard, but recommendations are welcome Yes. An alternative could be the one from the wiki: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Freedom_Slim_Keyboard But there is no mention of qtmoko support? The distro only has to serve the needed bt-tools, then everything will work. I recently bought the following one: http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=260747301433ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT which is quite cheep, small and light. It can pair with QtMoko but I can't use it for input. I tested it with the iphone of a colleague and, indeed, it works.

Depending on whether QtMoko is using bluez3 or bluez4 the method is slightly different, but both are in the wiki: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manually_using_Bluetooth#HID_.28Human_Input_Device.29 If it works after manual connection then adding a GUI for it should be relatively simple. If it doesn't then some deeper investigation will be needed. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: x11vnc and QTMoko
Not sure what you mean about QX I thought that x11vnc could stay for: vnc for x11, i.e. vnc for qx. But it does not work in qx even, at least for me. - what I do is: - from my desktop ssh to neo: ssh 192.168.0.202 - and then start my script: ./px11vnc.sh - from another window on my desktop run: vncviewer 192.168.0.202 my Neo display then shows up on my desktop and as long as I keep the mouse pointer in the Neo window I can type into text messages etc from the desktop machine. I do exactly the same, but I can't input... Does that help? No, but thanks alike. Regards, Phil.

Re: [qtmoko] Contacts and SMS, how do they work ?
No idea for these encoding problems ? Do I miss something obvious (like a package to install ?) Le 17/04/2011 13:05, Xavier Cremaschi a écrit : Hi folks, I am trying to use v35 from sdcard, to see if I can migrate from SHR. And I need information about contacts and sms management in qtmoko. - How can I import contacts from .vcf file with long names + utf-8 encoding ? - If I do a bad manipulation, how can I do a rollback ?

Re: QtMoko freezes with Dial screen
Quick update: issue is still there and I am revering changes to /opt/qtmoko/qpe.env there was quite a few BlueZ messages flying by I wonder if I can disable Bluetooth and get things under control somehow. Given the unresponsive screen I'll have to poke around to find where to disable bluetooth and other unnecessary services (I will need GPS though). ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
