Help with xterm commands
 

Hi.

My N900´s touch screen is completely unresponsive. But i do have access to the terminal.

How can i launch, operate and close programs like the media player using xterm?

I am also looking for a way to scoll in xterm without using the screen.

All help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Not with xterm commands, but with keyboard: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...board+friendly

To scroll in xterm, you need to map some key combination to page up and page down, and then use shift-page up and shift-page down to scroll. Another option is to use screen, which has scroll mode, where you scroll with the arrow keys.

Thank you :)
Do you also know how i can launch a i.e. .avi file through xterm?

Another thing i´ve been woundering about is, how do i type a "_" in a dir line?
Everytime i try to access a folder with a space in the name, i am unable to find the file/directory.

Preface the space with a "\" which tells unix commands to ignore the next character.

So if you wanted to cd to /home/My Big Documents
type this:

cd /home/My\ Big\ Documents

Also you could use tab completion. (on the N900's xterm, tab is done by holding the CTRL key and hitting the "i" key.
So you would type:

cd /home/My<then CTRL-i>
