Well this blows.

I think I've just encountered the too good to be true fix with Xkbd.

Hey Nick, simple favor request.

If you have Xkbd working, can you test and see if the ' and " keys work in Xterm, Notes, or whatever?

I'm not getting any output from them now.

I was so relieved to no longer be constantly dickering around with the whole Caps Lock method work around from before.

It looks as though we're probably back to square one on this. :(

D'oh! You're right, some keys are misplaced, some others don't produce any output and trying to get = starts an endless line of random keys :(

Well that's just crap! *lol*

Are all of the letters in the alphabet working though?

I'm only asking since the = key works just fine on my end.

Yes, all of the letters work fine... can't give any explanation for the rest of the keys :(

Well, a couple of days lasted a little longer than what I was expecting but the keyboard that can be used with Garnet VM is available and working like awesome if you have a N800. :)

You can grab it here:
Xkbd keyboards

Post some feedback if you would on this.

Has anyone ever tried this site?
http://www.goosync.com/

Just curious if this could be a simple solution to syncing contacts, calendar events, etc. without the constant nonsense of syncing with MS Outlook on the computer.

If not, is there perhaps an alternative Palm OS application or web site one could use?

Can some smart person explain WHY Audible books worked FINE with the Garnet Palm emulator on the N800 and N810 and DOESN'T work with the N900?

It's funny that everybody says they will stand behind you when the going gets rough, but when you run into a problem, there's nobody even there to bluff.

because the GarnetVM supports only the N800 and N810 and NOT the N900.

There seems to be a memory or storage access bug when running on the N900. Hopefully a N900 specific version will be released without waiting until the current N8x0 version expires.

Seems so. In fact it seems to crash when certain native (arm) PalmOS functions are invoked.
