One small bug , When I boot into KSM with Cecell3000's driver on the H2O, start menu starts upside-down. When I tap on any of the menu entries (where they SHOULD be, not where they are when upside-down), the display flips and from then on stays the right way up (until the next boot).
This is only a minor inconvenience, everything otherwise appears to work perfectly.

I have just looked into it a bit further, if I exit nickel to KSM, it is upside-down again.
Also a short press on the power button flips it to the right way up.

This is purely about the touch though. You can see a fix to the screen orientation problem here.

Or more properly something like this (or using -o, but I find that less readable):

if [ "$PRODUCT" = "dahlia" ] || [ "$PRODUCT" = "dragon" ]; then
    sh $kbmenudir/kobomenu.sh -autoselectafter=0
fi

(Really people, Git, Mercurial, Bazaar… they're fantastic for crowdsourcing stuff like this. )

Hi Guys, Sergey et al,

Thanks very very much for pbchess/CR3 for kobo, it's a way of life for me...

I was freaking out when I couldn't get it to work (1.2.6.42) on my just bought H2O.
So another thanks to Cecell3000 for the libKoboTS.so that made it all work again (with some small glitches)

I hope it will make it to the official pbchess release someday... If I can help (testing maybe) please let me know, I know my way around ssh/busybox pretty well.

Anyhow... some things I can't get to work yet:
- the "new" libKoboTS.so does not reset the "Sleep timeout" somehow so the H2O keeps falling asleep. (maybe there's a fix i havent tried yet..., i will give frenzies screen orientation fix a try you never know)
- the top (3) lines of the screen are behind the bezel, so some stuff is not visible, would there be some way to tweak that in cr?

Anyhows, thanks again, keep up the good work... Greetz Tony

I confirm it on Aura H2O.

But more important, it's working! Now I'll be off to have a look at KOReader.

Thanks, Frenzie!

I'll begin step by step publish sources of drivers, my eink library and CR. Also I'll review the new driver and add support of sleep timeout tomorrow.

That's great news.

I started publish sources here:

But the KoboTS_h2o driver isn't working due to some reason (kaznelson reported). I used Cecell3000's sources with my cosmetic changes...

I compared /koboTS/kobots.cpp and /koboTS_h2o/kobots.cpp and changed kobots_h2o, and seems to function ok.
tested: kobo Glo with pbchess-2014.12 and KSM v. 06

maybe would be better to use only one libkoboTS for all models kobo??


not rename files.
copy file libKoboTS.so and libKoboTS_h2o.so to folder:
(important: use the two files):

#kobolauncher
/.kobo/vlasovsoft/Qt/plugins/mousedrivers/

and or

#Kobo Start Menu
/.kobo/kbmenu/Qt/plugins/mousedrivers/


do not copy only libKoboTS_h2o.so for kobo start menu, use the two files: libKoboTS.so and libKoboTS_h2o.so.

use at your own risk

sorry my English, (google translator)

On H2O works (including sleeptimer).
Thanks!

It works, but doesn't reset to last input.

Sorry, it wasn't clear.

If you set the sleep timer to, say, 10 on the H2O, then leave it, it will sleep after 10 minutes. If you then wake it and start reading, it will sleep again after 10 minutes, even if the you turned the page just before.

Hmm, with last drivers on my H2O this problem is not present...
