If you are without a keyboard, I would suggest removing matchbox entirely and starting over. See http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Switching_Keyboards . 1) Remove existing: opkg remove matchbox-keyboard-inputmethod matchbox-keyboard-im matchbox-keyboard-applet 2) Then follow the instructions for inst

I was thinking of that. My only concern is what to do if the application died and did not get to restore the suspend state back to its previous value. For what its worth, there is a gconf setting for the suspend state that can be set. Neod is supposed to monitor it but the gconf callback is not wo

I am not sure it is all that useful. The RUNNING state is only set when an application grabs on to alsa, not when it is pumping data into it. As for the other numbers...they change over time even when there is no audio playing but pulseaudio is running. On Mon, Aug 4, 2008 at 2:35 PM, Andy Green <

I do not want to test if the sound is working but if audio is currently being processed by the card. For example, I find in bothersome that the freerunner will suspend while I am listening to music or using it as a phone. My hope is that there is/are some test(s) I can issue programatically that w

Maybe this is more of a standard linux question, but I don't know the answer regardless. Is there a way to test if sound is actually being pumped through the sound card? I can lsof various devices in /dev/snd or check /proc/asound/card0/pcmXX/sub0/status but those only tell me if a client is *conn

Here you go. You still need the other two matchbox keyboard packages. Use the button in the lower right to switch profiles. There are even more characters in the "numbers" layout available via shift. package: http://atariland.net/~dreilly/openmoko/matchbox-keyboard-0.1-finger.tar.gz source: http

FWIW, I have a tweaked version of matchbox keyboard and an accompanying layout that is finger capable and still usable in a shell. The layout is based upon the iPhone keyboard (do not hate me!) because I figured they spent many dollars on getting it right. It's by no means perfect but I find it ver
