Which state files are descent and why? The Openmoko images use the state files that are in the openmoko svn[1]. The only patch I'm aware of for the state files is this[2] and it is not an improvement as it is lowering the volume. Which bug report am I not aware of? I just queried the bug tracker for bugs with the HasPatch keyword and could not find anything. z.

I use it on terminal mode the majority of the time. If you talk about Qtopia keyboard, you have to install another keyboard and "Add the line export QTOPIA_NO_VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD=1 into the file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/89qtopia" or "...80Qtopia", I don't remember. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I cant remember ever seeing an answer though it used to be asked a lot - but how can you turn off the predictive altogether? It totally frustrating to use for what I do - its so slow and takes too many key strokes to do even anything simple ...

Did you know you can copy the /usr/share/dict/ files from your PC to your FR, and then you can select this dictionary's on raster's keyboard? So, if you have GNU/Linux on your desktop system and it is translated, you can have keyboard working with your language. If not, I think it wouldn't be very difficult to find those dictionaries. > P.S. Why can't the default openmoko images not provide "descent" alsa > state files?

[OM 2008.9] Keyboard discussion
Hi The more I use my FR the less I like the current input methods. Raster's keyboard is a great improvement but still hardly useful if you're typing in a language other then english (e.g. swiss german). Well, I've got a few questions regarding input methods: - Is it possible to use qtopia handwriting recognition with om? What about the its configuration tools? Is there an openmoko project to create something similar? - A few weeks ago, someone posted a mockup of a partly transparent keyboard covering the whole screen (Can't find the post atm). I think this is a great idea to increase tapping space while typing on such a small screen. Has someone already tried to code something like this? Best regards, Chris P.S. Why can't the default openmoko images not provide "descent" alsa state files? -- Pt! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?
