Re: My Debian Tricks - N810 xmodmap

Works like a champ ! It's cool to get my qwerty back even with my azerty tablet ! Thank you!

Re: My Debian Tricks - N810 xmodmap

Here is the .xmodmap file for my Italian keyboard. Has Tab on Fn-comma and pipe on Fn-period. Several other keysyms should be added in order for this to be useful, because on the chroot setting the Chr key doesn't work and so you miss dollar, percent, ticks and backticks, etc. But, indeed, I am not using other wm's than matchbox, because it's quicker and allows moving big windows to press out-of-sight buttons.

Code:

keycode 216 = Mode_switch

keysym q = q Q 1

keysym w = w W 2

keysym e = e E 3

keysym r = r R 4

keysym t = t T 5

keysym y = y Y 6

keysym u = u U 7

keysym i = i I 8

keysym o = o O 9

keysym p = p P 0

keysym a = a A exclam

keysym s = s S quotedbl

keysym d = d D at

keysym f = f F numbersign

keysym g = g G asterisk

keysym h = h H backslash

keysym j = j J slash

keysym k = k K parenleft

keysym l = l L parenright

keysym apostrophe = apostrophe question igrave Igrave

keysym z = z Z EuroSign

keysym x = x X asciitilde

keysym c = c C ampersand

keysym v = v V equal

keysym b = b B less

keysym n = n N greater

keysym m = m M plus

keysym semicolon = eacute Eacute ograve Ograve

keysym minus = egrave Egrave agrave Agrave

keysym equal = minus underscore ugrave

keysym comma = comma semicolon Tab

keysym period = period colon bar

Re: My Debian Tricks - N810 xmodmap

A window manager, http://matchbox-project.org/, used in the tablets.

It's the plain vanilla window manager our NITs.

Re: My Debian Tricks - N810 xmodmap

Nothing "plain vanilla" about our NIT window manager :)

I find it interesting that nothing much has happened over at matchbox-project.org since March 2007...

debernardis, do you know of a hack for non-dialog windows that are too large, such as the "Restore Document" window in OOO?

Re: My Debian Tricks - N810 xmodmap

I assume you've tried rotation and small-font-themes?

Re: My Debian Tricks - N810 xmodmap

Um, Benson, maemo theming has no effect on Debian OOO :) And if you've run Debian apps, you'll notice that the fonts are already teensy-tiny, since they're assuming a 96dpi screen (as opposed to 226dpi on the tablets).

But rotation... that's an idea... Haven't hit that window since I got rotation working...

Re: My Debian Tricks - N810 xmodmap

Oh, that's right. (Duh!)

Well, you could set a smaller theme there, too. (Actually, one thing I had thought of doing was getting the Debian apps using the Maemo themes... then it occurred to me that that'd NOT help the window-size issues, and I figured I'd not bother. Why I couldn't remember that just now is beyond me...)

Xnest is the only thing that comes to mind; you could run xnest with scrollbars (does xephyr do scrollbars, since it's already working?) and run matchbox, hildon-desktop, etc. all inside on :1, and no window manager on display :0... that'd be somewhat less overhead than the whole two-wm routine, but it's plainly suboptimal. (And hard to set up...)

Re: My Debian Tricks - N810 xmodmap

I followed your instructions in #1, but the function key on my slide-down keyboard isn't usable.
Thanks
