Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw

Yeah! I reflashed my N800 with OS 2008 this morning to test the new xkbd out. My fingers are crossed that the new version works better for those of us who have problems with the older version on OS 2008.

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw

where can i get new version of xkbd? os2008
thanks

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw

The new version of xkbd is here: http://pupnik.de/xkbd_0.8.15m-2_armel.deb
The new version of DOSBox is here: http://pupnik.de/chinook/dosbox_0.72-0.2_armel.deb

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw

thanks, but libxpm4 is required.. i'll try to find it
edit: i found it on http://pupnik.de/ but its not compatible with n800&os2008 (i download 2008 version)

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw

Great. You need to install the libxpm4 package using Red Pill Mode.

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw

Excellent!!!

I'm grinning like crazy over this awesome new build!!! :D

Only one comment to make on this though.

The specific size of my custom keyboard now requires it to be launched like this:
xkbd -geometry +0+0 -k /media/mmc2/x.xkbd

That way it fits perfectly, but Xkbd won't accept that as an argument.

xkbd -geometry -1-1 -k /media/mmc2/x.xkbd and
xkbd -geometry +1+1 -k /media/mmc2/x.xkbd

these both offset the display by a single pixel so it doesn't fit perfectly like it could.

Is there any possibility to remove that part in the source code where it won't allow the "-geometry +0+0" command?

Sorry if this request is sounding incredibly anal. I'm certainly more than grateful on how far this project has come. I honestly couldn't be more happy right now. :)

Also OSEmutech's keyboard would look a little better as well too if it were to be launched from the starting point of X=0.

Anyway, awesome, awesome stuff ArnimS!

I did check xkbd.c to see if it was preventing acceptance of a 0 offset, but it isn't. It passes the geometry values straight to the X server with the command.

XParseGeometry(geometry, &xret, &yret, &wret, &hret );

So xkbd isn't rejecting the 0 offset, the X server itself is. Why that happens is beyond me. Sorry.

If this keeps up I'll be writing QuickBasic programs for the tablets!

:D

Wonderful! Please install Win32s, TCP/IP stack, and Netscape (as referenced earlier in this thread). I'm simply DYING to know if they work and are usable, as are not a few others, I think!

Hey qole, what mouse did you use? How did you install? how did you physically connect it? Did you have a keyboard running at the same time? What is your social security number? (just kidding)

Hey Derek,

That wasn't me, it was OSEmuTech. I've been waiting for someone else to get this working first before I go chasing rainbows. I've spent a lot of time lately installing and configuring stuff, only to find that I just can't get it working...

Re: DOSBox 0.65 ... ftw

Oh hey ArnimS! Thanks for the quick response!

Well, this is probably an overbearing, petty request, but would it be possible to release a 2nd version of Xkbd for anal people like myself?

I was thinking of changing the source code to something like removing the whole geometry option and making it so that the keyboard always launches from a static position of 0,0.

I doubt you'll find this to be something of interest for you to do.

But hey, you know me, I just had to ask. :D
