<snip several lines> Do you want to use a USB keyboard with your FR? I found in the community ML following answer, but I have not tested though...

Personally I've made a .desktop file to switch into and out of host mode. To switch back to unpowered device mode just run: echo "device" > /sys/devices/platform/s3c2410-ohci/usb_mode echo "0" > /sys/devices/platform/neo1973-pm-host.0/hostmode ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- HTH -homyx [1] http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-August/025729.html -- for Windows problems reboot for Linux problems be root _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
