Re: Context based usage of the 'AUX' button
Works perfectly. :) Now, I get picky: looking at the way the scummvm script changes AUX to F5 and back, is there a way to do the same thing except change the power button to esc and back?

Re: Context based usage of the 'AUX' button
I've had this happen when ScummVM freezes or exits unintentionally. I've found that starting and quitting ScumVM without playing anything brings the AUX lock back. you could also remap the key with xmodmap.

With SHR, the normal use for AUX is to lock/unlock the screen. This is useful when you can't suspend, but still want to put the phone in a pocket where accidental pressing may happen. For example, when the gps is in use when walking/bicycling/skiing. AUX protects against wrong keypresses that at worst could stop the gps logging. And AUX is also easy to press - even with gloves - in order to take a quick look at the map.

Sure, all that only applies to systems actually running X. The frameworkd has been created to also support systems running other display multiplexers or no multiplexer at all, that's why odeviced contains plugins like 'idlenotifier' and 'input'. :M: ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Context based usage of the 'AUX' button
Hi, The freerunner and 1973 have only 2 buttons. While the power button is being used for suspend and for switching off, the 'AUX' button seems under utilised. I was wondering whether there could be a method added to FSO that allowed overloading of this button based on the context. For eg :- 1. Under normal circumstances (not in a call or app - that could change this usage), the button could be used for selecting between 3 brightness settings in rotation. 2. In a call - it could be used for selecting between 3 volume settings in rotation. 3. Apps could define how to use it themselves for eg : a media player could use this button to go to the next song in one press / go to the previous song in two presses. Is is possible to do this via rules? Any further thoughts? Is there another way to do this? -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Context-based-usage-of-the-%27AUX%27-button-tp2394031p2394031.html Sent from the Openmoko Community mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
