Somebody make it? :P

I dont think we will be able to get global keyboard events, so I modified the python script to wait for 20 key presses

Code:

sudo gainroot
python KR.py 
Usage :  KR.py  --keypress --selftest --kr

AFAIK there are keyloggers for linux, so I don't see why this wouldn't be possible

@ all previous threads, I'll be finishing my exams on the 18th, so I'll read the pygtk tutorial properly this time, also got another project on mind, so I might make a gui for this, although it's pretty pointless as it is (unless you like your keyboards lights sweeping for no reason).

I installed this essential app via the .deb package, but it doesn't play the MP3 for me

I can play via mplayer

Code:

# mplayer /opt/liqbase/KR/KR.mp3

and hear the tune, but not via the script.

Any ideas?

(or I could just wait a bit for the 'proper' app)
Thanks

~~~~EDIT~~~~

ah got sound working using vabgeo's mod'd script a few posts up

(http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...4&postcount=51). Only get the Knightrider effect twice, though

It would be good if we can call it when u open the keyboard.
is there a configuration in the mce.ini or dbus that we can use?

next step Mohammad,lcuk, would be to remove the sudo requirement...

exactly what i was thinking about! it would be really great if somebody writes a tiny script to make keyboard flash once(for instance from left to right,but a bit slower than on "knight rider" video),when you open keyboard.

Hopbeat made lockdaemon that plays a tune when you slide the keyboard open or close or lock onlock screen. Maybe he could implement it in his app. The knight rider effect
