Re: neovento 5.6
hi, sure debian apps work, you can install them just like with a debian system, since neovento is debian as you already found out. opkg packages mostly also, though you have to extract them yourself. It could get messy with dependencies also.

I did not succeed in finding how to make the Neovento from Debian; I am still hoping to put it on my GTA01. Also I am looking forward to getting a current Neovento for the SD card rather than flashing it. Looking forward even more to learning how to set it up from the source scripts. I tried getting files from opensvn.csie.org/fyp/data/ but only a couple are there. Hoping to see the new keyboard with all the patches. Mine has an odd bug in two of its keys; is anyone interested in that? Hoping to see it made transparent like the one recently announced called Literki, but the picture of that has vanished it seems. There are opther little problems, the time; because it seems to overwrite /etc/localtime with the time file for Lord Howe island after it registers GSM. So can we hope to see a new version anytime soon? thank you, clare ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

[neovento-5.6] Modifying the keyboard
Hi; I am finding a lot of improvements in this latest version; and I have not been able to try a lot of them, due to lack of time. however I have changed the keyboard (attached). The main reason was that some keys were not there. Especially some that I needed. e.g. backslash I now have on it all the keys on my normal keyboard I think. I have tried to arrange them with some logic, mainly that on the 123 page are most of the things I want to write on the computer terminal. The third collection is not well arranged and has plenty of empty slots. I think the european language characters and some others will fit well there. I have found a few. the sources I am using for characters are: http://www.webmonkey.com/reference/Special_Characters and http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/sgml/entities.html#h-24.2.1 Does anyone know how I could make a numbers lock which would keep the 123 page in place while it was being used? It is possible, but annoying to have to hit 123 before every number. I hoped to put that function just above the 123 key. thank you, clare ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? keyboard options !-- not yet implemented -- /options layout id=keyboard one row key width=1600 default display=Esc action=escape / /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=a / shifted display=A / mod1display=! / mod2display=#169; / /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=b / shifted display=B / mod1display=% / mod2display=. / /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=c / shifted display='C' / mod1display=$ / mod2display=. / /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=d / shifted display=D / mod1display=1 / mod2display=. / /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=e / shifted display=E / mod1display=2 / mod2display=#162; / /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=: / shifted display=: / mod1display=3 / mod2display=#163; / /key key width=1600 default display=⌫ action=backspace/ /key /row row key width=1600 default display=↹ action=tab / /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=f / shifted display=F / mod1display=lt; / mod2display=. / /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=g / shifted display=G / mod1display=gt; / mod2display=. / /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=h / shifted display=H / mod1display=# / mod2display=. / /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=i / shifted display=I / mod1display=4 / mod2display=. / /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=j / shifted display=J / mod1display=5 / mod2display=. / /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=; / shifted display=; / mod1display=6 / mod2display=, / /key key width=1600 obey-caps='true' default display=, / shifted display=, / mod1display=+ / mod2display=. / /key /row row key width=1600 default display=Caps action=modifier:caps/ /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=k / shifted display=K / mod1display=~ / mod2display=. / /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=l / shifted display=L / mod1display=| / mod2display=. / /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=m / shifted display=M / mod1display=/ / mod2display=€ / /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=n / shifted display=N / mod1display=7 / mod2display=. / /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=o / shifted display=O / mod1display=8 / mod2display=§ / /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=' / shifted display=' / mod1display=9 / mod2display=. / /key key width=1600 obey-caps='true' default display=. / shifted display=. / mod1display=. / mod2display=. / /key /row row key width=1600 default display=Shift action=modifier:shift/ /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=p / shifted display=P / mod1display=@ / mod2display=? / /key key fill=true obey-caps='true' default display=q / shifted display=Q / mod1display=_ /
Re: [neovento-5.6] Modifying the keyboard
Hi Clare, thanks for your efforts :) The next neovento version will include a small configuration program which will allow you to switch between the keyboard layouts. The numpad issue is something we could not solve. With the most recent matchbox keyboard you could use different layouts on one keyboard, but we couldn't figure out how. Maybe someone knows the answer how to use different layouts on the mbk. With that feature this would be the best keyboard available on the FR regarding usability. clare johnstone wrote: Hi; I am finding a lot of improvements in this latest version; and I have not been able to try a lot of them, due to lack of time. however I have changed the keyboard (attached).
