Hi all, and author particularly; The things I liked - the console font made more readable - and then it got hidden by a pretty picture - how do I change that so I can read the messages? The black icon for brightness, The screen locker, very neat, After locking it stayed bright but a quick press of POW suspended it (it said that anyway) and a later quick press recovered to usable.
The keyboard, interesting. This time I was able to change the keyboard by putting a new one at .matchbox/keyboard.xml . Wonderful. and even more wonderful, I replaced it with a copy of the one in the previous version, and it came out shorter. So I was able to make the xterm 24 lines long instead of 13. I have not yet looked at them to see how that sizing is done but it will be obvious I expect. The keyboard resize - please could it be made not quite so hairtrigger in use? and could it come up lower on the screen? because I was finding that to reduce the number of lines needed several tries. Even better please tell me how to set the initial size of the keyboard. (Although I now find I dont really need to do that, with the shorter keyboard the current one fits.) Not quite so good was the Menu item Accessories/keyboard. It got me a keyboard, but I couldn't get rid of it, and pressing AUX which is what I usually do for on and off keyboard looked like it got another one on top of it but both now permanent. - reboot. The change on the keyboard I really wanted was to replace something, (and there are several possibles) with open and close angle brackets. My first try a failure, the keyboard won't start, even using a 3 character symbol already in use instead of the real anglebracket one. The time. Based on previous I have saved localtime file and linked localtime to /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Perth. That got me WST time. good. AND it survived reboot. much better - I have been wondering who wanted the time on Lord Howe Island... But on another reboot (and I don't know what was different) I am back on Lord Howe - and it is the problem I had in the previous version, localtime has been overwitten and with it the file /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Perth. I am now keeping a copy of that on /mnt/sdcard for immediate use until the problem is fixed. more later, no time now - Thanks very much it is really exciting; _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
