you're doing pretty well for a newbie. i just booted ubuntu to see how they do it -- turns out it's easy. they use a program called "xbindkeys" to bind all of the "special" XO keys. the configuration for that is in /home/olpc/.xbindkeysrc -- you'll see an entry in there that invokes /usr/bin/rotate_screen.py. all you need to do is change that to point at your own script or program. > > > "dpkg -S gio.h" on my thinkpad install of ubuntu intrepid implies > > If I include that path it is now looking for glibconfig.h and > dpkg -S glibconfi.h responds with > > libglib2.0.dev: /usr/lib/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h > > A dierectory that does not exist..... > > So this probably means I need to install the > > libglib2.0.dev package right?? yes. though you meant "libglib2.0-dev". in general on debian and ubuntu, to development of a program that needs a library, you'll need to have the "-dev" package for that library installed. paul =--------------------- paul fox, p...@laptop.org _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
