Re: GVM: Running PalmOS apps via shortcut
 

OK, I may be a might be a bit slow and missing something obvious but I can't launch gvm with my existing gvm.store file. I have tried from the home/user/ /usr/bin/gvm/gvm -z 1.5 -g /home/user/.gvm/gvm.store I tried the same thing from the root. From usr/bin/gvm I tried ./gvm -z 1.5 -g /home/user/.gvm/gvm.store from the home/user/.gvm I tried /usr/bin/gvm/gvm -z 1.5 -g gvm.store and /usr/bin/gvm/gvm -z 1.5 -g ./gvm.store
I either get an empty version of Garnet or the system tries to concatenate the two paths and then says it can't find the storage file. I am running the latest VM (downloaded a week ago.) on an N770 running OS2007HE. Any help would be appreciated.

what version of gvm you dl, 770 or n800?

Re: GVM: Running PalmOS apps via shortcut
 

I downloaded the version for N800 because I am running OS2007HE. I also have another chip that boots OS2006 and has the 770 gvm on it. I had similar problems with it before I made the OS2007HE chip.

There seem to be a couple undocumented command line options as well that I have discovered.

--refresh=x
--nice

I had to set "--refresh=2" in order to play SNES games on Little John Palm Emulator.

Not sure if "--nice" does anything.

I found these by doing "strings" on the gvm binary.

Re: [Palm OS] GVM: Running PalmOS apps via shortcut
 

Okay. So I guess I have a couple of questions.

I have libxmu6, wmctrl and the screen rotation kernel all installed correctly.

First, can the gvmlauncher be displayed in fullscreen? No biggie, just thought I would ask.

Also, I would like for the screen to display just like it does in the "Portrait fullscreen" start mode option.

However, I would like the extra space that isn't being used to be available on the bottom of the screen, rather than the top.

Here's the thing though, I also would like for it to appear in this "Portrait fullscreen" display while the screen is already rotated before an application is launched.

Basically, I have an xkbd keyboard that I'd like to sit on the bottom of the rotated screen, but since Garnet also rotates itself while in this mode, applications don't appear correctly.

Here's kind of an image of what I'm hoping to achieve only picture the keyboard rotated and on the other side of the screen with the application pushed all the way to the top.

I think that this would absolutely be the best setup if someone could help figure this one out for me. :D

Thanks!

Hey all.

I also have one more question.

How can I grab all of the graphical icons that are displayed while in GarnetVM and then be able to use those icons under Personal Launcher?

Thanks ahead!

Quick note on how to sync GVM using Missing Sync in OS X:

In xterm:

then hotsync.

Thanks to all of those who worked on these problems.

Re: [Palm OS] GVM: Running PalmOS apps via shortcut
 

If I start Garnet, the applications I registered work just fine.

However, if I skip Garnet and go straight to the launcher via shortcut, my applications are no longer registered and my registration keys no longer work either.

How can I find my Device Serial Number while in Garnet so I can load up the same number when going by shortcut?

That is what's causing the problem, right?

Re: [Palm OS] GVM: Running PalmOS apps via shortcut
 

In the Palm menu choose "Info" then click on "Version" and below Garnet, will be "ID". The last 2 characters on my ID is "-9" which is not needed. I then use Personal Menu and have the option "-n ID#"

Hopefully this will work for you.

How do I get a list of application names on my system? For example how do you know /usr/bin/gvm/gvm -a date -z 1.5 is valid instead of usr/bin/gvm/gvm -a datebook -z 1.5 or usr/bin/gvm/gvm -a dbook -z 1.5, etc.
