I made available a yum repository with the RPM candidates for Xorg 1.4 and a few other prerequisites for the Ethiopian keyboard layout and input method.
Xorg 1.4 is the foundation for future input work such as grab key handling, input rotation and proper touchpad and glide sensor support. To test it on your XO: - Hit CTRL-ALT-F1 to switch to the console - login as root - cd /etc/yum.repos.d - wget http://www.codewiz.org/pub/olpc-bernie/olpc-bernie.repo - (optionally, disable the olpc-development.repo to speed up yum) - yum -y update - cd /etc/X11 - vi xorg.conf - Comment out all the InputDevice lines in the ServerLayout section - Alternatively, wget -nc http://www.codewiz.org/pub/olpc-bernie/xorg.conf All this has already been (lightly) tested on both B2 and B4 laptops. As far as I could see, there were no rendering bugs. The Camera activity does not seem to work in recent builds. This is not an Xorg 1.4 bug. the hal-based configuration protocol is currently broken, so for now we are using the traditional keyboard and mouse drivers instead of the more modern evdev. The change in mouse acceleration is due to the driver change. Please, test with your favorite activities and report any glitches. We'd like to shake out most bugs before hitting the official builds. -- // Bernardo Innocenti \X/ http://www.codewiz.org/ _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
