[Debian] TSLIB_TSDEVICE no longer getting set
I've been trying to get gestikk [1] working, a mouse-gestures program that turns mouse gestures into keystrokes at the window manager level. This seems ideal for finger gestures to do things like scrolling, paging, etc in a generic fashion. After working through package dependencies, and building a needed python module, I got it fulling installed and actually managed to get it to run and put it's icon in the tray. Unfortunately, it requires right-click...i don't have the right-click tslib patch installed (yet), so I reran the program in a mode that allows configuration. As soon as I did that, I seemed to lose pointer input. /etc/init.d/nodm restart, reboot, all have no effect. I have traced it down to TSLIB_TSDEVICE no longer getting set. If I manually export this set properly, and do startx, it works, I get my pointer back. I am running X as a normal user, but the same happens when reverting back to root as well. So, what happened? I can't figure out how /etc/init.d/nodm is supposed to setup environment variables that tslib needs. ...cj [safire] Christopher J.

Hi all, What is the best audio format for offering ringtones, notifications, etc.? I'd prefer .ogg because of its easy license and small file size. The .wav and .mp3 I'd shun for these reasons.

Remounting root filesystem
(so it is remounted rw now?) then
mount: special device /dev/mmcblk0p1 does not exist
(this is stock 512Mb uSD). After that it tries to startup ALSA (with No

after that it just stall forever. Rootfs is yesterday's testing tarball

Re: Audio format
I would recommend ogg too. I'm was using ogg file as my ringtone without any problems. Not sure about your distribution...

I'd prefer .ogg because of its easy license and small file size. The .wav and .mp3 I'd shun for these reasons. Is this correct and is the phone capable of using .ogg as ringtones and notifications in both the OM part and the Qt part.

Re: [Debian] TSLIB_TSDEVICE no longer getting set

White: I've been trying to get gestikk [1] working, a mouse-gestures program that turns mouse gestures into keystrokes at the window manager level. This seems ideal for finger gestures to do things like scrolling, paging, etc in a generic fashion. Nice program. What are you going to use as a toggle? AUX-Key? Yeah, it's looking promising. I'm not quite sure yet how to integrate it. I've managed to get it working with the standard Xorg distribution, but not Xglamo as it require Xkb, which Xglamo doesn't currently support. (anyone interested, I can send you pointers to what I've got workingnot quite ready though). At a basic stage, I can define a finger gesture and map it to a keystroke such as a. So far the mouse events are simultaneously passed to the underlying application. For example, passing a simple stroke up will be recognized by gestikk, but also passed to the xterm that has focus and thus will select and drag across the xterm window. Not ideal. Ideally it would always be active in a smart mode. I'm thinking about trying to restrict it such that if there is no movement after the initial click, than it is *not* a gesture. If there is immediate motion, capture the entire mouse motion as a gesture and attempt not to pass it along to the underlying application. We'll have to see how easily this is achieved. It may work best enabled for some apps but not others. At worst, I'll use the AUX-key or something like that as a trigger to enable gesture recognition. After working through package dependencies, and building a needed python module, I got it fulling installed and actually managed to get it to run and put it's icon in the tray. Unfortunately, it requires right-click...i don't have the right-click tslib patch installed (yet), so I reran the program in a mode that allows configuration. As soon as I did that, I seemed to lose pointer input. /etc/init.d/nodm restart, reboot, all have no effect. I have traced it down to TSLIB_TSDEVICE no longer getting set. If I manually export this set properly, and do startx, it works, I get my pointer back. I am running X as a normal user, but the same happens when reverting back to root as well. So, what happened? I can't figure out how /etc/init.d/nodm is supposed to setup environment variables that tslib needs. AFAIR, it is not necessary anymore to set this variable, if /etc/X11/xorg.conf and/or the udev rules are set up correctly – did you by any chance modify that? I was running Xglamo at the time, so I had modified xorg.conf to point to Xglamo as the display device. However, something happened that screwed that up, both for Xglamo as well as fbdev. Right now neither will work. In fact, it's rather strange. If I start xinit manually after setting TSLIB_TSDEVICE, it works: $ export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1 $ /usr/bin/xinit /etc/X11/Xsession However, when I run it in a fashion similar to /etc/init.d/nodm, it fails: $ /bin/su --login --command /usr/bin/xinit /etc/X11/Xsession root This is despite putting the export command in .bashrc and verifying that it's set. I even tried verifying that it was getting TSLIB_TSDEVICE: $ /bin/su --login --command printenv root [...] TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1 However, it still fails to work. I removed and then reinstalled xserver-xglamo, and the error messages changed, but it still does not work. ...cj ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
