2007 HE and usb mouse
Every few months I take another run at getting a USB mouse working with my Nokia 770. After hooking up the self-powered hub and who ha, I can see the mouse is recognized and working via cat /dev/input/event3 and moving the mouse generates lots of characters. So, now I would like the Xomap server to use it as input currently the Xomap server does something like this (in /etc/init.d/x-server) $ Xomap -mouse tslib ... I was hoping that $ Xomap -mouse /dev/input/event3 ... would bring me joy... alas no joy. Does anyone have any ideas about how to cause the Xomap server to use the usb mouse and not the touch screen? Or how to configure tslib to use both the touch screen and the real mouse (say via a /etc/ts.config module perhaps?)

In IT2005/2006, this actually requires _code_ changes (sorry, not my fault). But this has been rectified, and future relase etc. Any idea if this will hit Sardine soon, or is Carlos a better person to ask? I don't have any immediate plans, sorry. I'll let the list know if it's planned to hit Sardine, since it's a pretty major change. I recently noticed that I'm not the only to use the 770 in place of a laptop. http://blog.russnelson.com/images/kif_4011.jpg At conferences it can be handy to use as a laptop replacement.Also when on vacation, it is useful to move photos off a digital camera and up to an Internet site. For these medium length tasks a mouse/keyboard is more productive (along with something to lift the 770 up to eye level, but thats a relatively simple problem to solve. ) Cheers -bob ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
[maemo-developers] Re: usb mouse
Ok, so If I change the cursor to be visible, does the 770 work with any usb mouse? Or is there a configuration change I need to make to the X server? This is for the use case I'm traveling and have 3 hours to tinker in a hotel and want to use a travel mouse and keyboard to hack a python/ruby ditty to tabulate my expenses - which is a pretty hard sell to anyone other than the developer crowd. -bob Tapani Pälli wrote: ext Kimmo Hämäläinen wrote: On Wed, 2006-10-25 at 14:54 -0400, ext Bob Herrmann wrote: Any usb keyboard should work, but mouse support seems to be another story. Just hooking up a usb mouse doesn't appear to work. I believe this is because the X server is tweaked out to work with the touch screen and compatibility with a mouse (like showing a cursor to report it's position) wasnt considered important. ... You can see the cursor if you remove the symbolic link /home/user/.icons. (But that is where my knowledge ends and X geniuses need to step in.) Yep, we are using a 'invisible cursor theme' for Gtk, it is used instead of X defaults. You can remove link, or if you want to use own cursorimage instead of invisible one you can simply copy it to '/usr/share/icons/xcursor-transparent/cursors/transp'. The reason for using this theme is that cursor icon is used for taphold animation, therefore we actually still have cursor (would be also possible to hide completely from X server by disabling driver funcs implementing that).

Re: [maemo-developers] Re: maemo-developers Digest, Vol 18, Issue 34
I followed these directions, more or less, and built a working cable.. I used a self powered usb hub, so I didn't do anything with the powersupply stuff. http://thoughtfix.blogspot.com/2006/01/usb-power-injector-2.html Any usb keyboard should work, but mouse support seems to be another story.

Re: [maemo-developers] Sources and documentation
I know If I rebuild all from the source that I wont have Opera. Is there anything else besides Opera that is not at the repositories?

My future features are more realistic: -source codes; https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/trunk/ http://repository.maemo.org/pool/mistral/ http://repository.maemo.org/pool/sardine/ You can also request the source codes on CD-ROM as per GPL. The offer naturally only covers the software that is not proprietary. I am not going argue with rants about whether $proprietary_application should or is going to be open sourced or not. Today things are the way they are. However if you could provide constructive comments about how open sourcing more (and which specifically) things would benefit Nokia (this is not free as in beer for us I'm afraid) I'm sure the discussion would be more fruitful. -more reliable API docs; -more reliable SDK docs; How are they not reliable? Missing something? What? Inaccurate? Where? Again, constructive comment are more likely to get something done. You could for example file bugs in https://maemo.org/bugzilla/ or add notes to http://maemo.org/maemowiki/DocumentationWanted . We can't work on the problems if we don't know what the real problems are. Please keep in mind that this is the first time Nokia has done open source on this scale. We're still taking baby steps. But we're willing to learn, and feedback from the community is appreciated. Unfortunately rants are rarely helping. What comes to console applications and such, I'd say that's subjective. I just can't see the market for such device these days (everyone wants flashy eye candy), but then again, I'm just a technical person so what do I know. We know about your concerns regarding Ogg (and probably BT and GStreamer as well -- I should probably poke the people in charge.) More often than not there are good reasons (priorities, resources, cost/benefit, ...) for these things, we're not doing this to spite you. It's just that some things are difficult to communicate outside, for whatever reason. ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
[maemo-developers] USB Mouse
I've connected a USB Keyboard and USB Ethernet with no problems (via a powered hub)... So I thought I try using a USB mouse. Alas, it seems the mouse isn't recognized. Is there some magic I need to do to tell Xomap about the USB Mouse? (ie. like use the USB mouse an enable a pointer.) (I didnt send this to the users list, because I assumed this is pretty far off the typical user path.)
