digging around in startx

[twobob]

I shoved leafpad in the mix as well.

A quick (3 hour) wipe should fix it right up though ready to test.

I may stick some more apps in the cooker while it fixes. I HOPEFULLY have gtk2 libglib2 midori, a whole pile of supporting libs and webkit built for the 3 now.

: ) yeah I'll do some more, why not

hmm... And in the end the 2007q3 simply refused to build the glib2 stuff...

So.... I kept digging, for months as it happens...

There was an old tip I found just today in https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/DFBPorting about rolling back to the 2.16.3 glib2 version as the 2.30.3 just dies on the qsort_r error that has been bugging me FOREVER.

I'll give that a go I think. Jut to get that monkey off my back

I will also try with the 2012.03 TC as knc1 has provided a way to make that build more backwardsly (is that a word?) compliant code.

Cheers.

EDIT:Okay so I got that to build...

Ill try rolling forward to 2.27.2 so I can get gdkpixbuf support - that MIGHT give the native libgtk2 a chance to build.

EDIT:

Hmm.. might be onto something... I'll make clean and try again.

[twobob]

NOTE TO SELF

SQL-LITE does NOT build with -ffast-math!

EDIT: sigh... and now libiffi wont build. honestly. that 2007q3 TC is really tough work.

[twobob]

(make the folders first)

me@dev ~ $ BINARY=midori for FILES in $(readelf -d ~/GIT/buildroot-2012/output/target/usr/bin/"$BINARY" |awk -F\[ ' /Shared library/ {print $2}' | cut -d"]" -f1); do scp ~/GIT/buildroot-2012/output/target/usr/lib/"$FILES" root@kt:/mnt/us/extensions/"$BINARY"/lib/; done

For when I am bored of figuring out what libs to move across. and unrolling the symlinks.

This won't catch them all but does a decent chunk. Happy to get feedback on improving this.

[thatworkshop]

So to sum it up, is the main issue in this project, getting 5-way keys to work as mouse/cursor on X11?

[twobob]

two fold.

the lower nibbles don't render correctly so things appear fuzzy.
making 4 way work as a "cursor".

The Kindle User's Guide calls it 5-way controller. Don't they know even 3-way is really abnormal out and about here?!

[twobob]

So I revisited this

nibble order code is "somewhere" in /usr/local/src/xorg-server-1.4.2/fb/*

if someone can figure out where I can happily rebuild this with that corrected-byte-order support in Xfbdev.

I rebuilt perl, xmodmap, xbindkeys, and xorg-server to all run natively (in /mnt/us/extensions/) so as to facilitate eventually getting jessie's savory to run properly.
(note that is the Authors Jessie, not the debian release heh.)

All this stuff is being built out of lenny, but run natively with no debian.

I fixed up the missing kdrive bits from his patch. and replaced xterm with lxterminal for now.

so just keyboard/5-way support and nibble order left to do.

jump in and help people...

That runs... (with the nibble issue, and the invalid input) happy to take advice...

That also runs, without the nibble order issue, and with some input working...
but much more overhead.

(those 4 command were run in parallel shell sessions)

5 way press does work for LEFT CLICK. need to make the cursor "move" on 5 way U D L R

similar to the way unity maps a key to a mouse/joystick move...

xdotool maybe?

Not much of help here... just to say:
ratpoison looks good but Awesome looks awesome.

Oh, is that screenshot of your K3 running x? Holy creep! That's so impressive. Can't wait to see where this leads. I don't know how to help, no clue what corrected-byte-order support in Xfbdev is!

[twobob]

yup - thats the k3.

Todays progress was getting a mystartx that could boot using the Xvfb => x11vnc => VncViewer native method in the meantime and getting keyinput working. & compiling xmodmap and xbindkeys to fit the new FAT architecture which was trivial.

cd /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer; # it really wants to run from there, nothing else cares.
export PATH=/mnt/us/extensions/xorg/bin:/mnt/us/extensions/perl/usr/bin:\
/mnt/us/extensions/lxterminal/bin:/mnt/us/kindlevncviewer:$PATH
export XKEYSYMDB=/mnt/us/extensions/xorg/share/X11/XKeysymDB
export DISPLAY=:0
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/us/kindlevncviewer:\
/mnt/us/extensions/system/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
killall -9 x11vnc
killall -9 kindlevncviewer

perl /mnt/us/extensions/xorg/bin/unlock_daemon&

Xvfb -dpi 167 -extension XKEYBOARD +kb -noreset -nolisten tcp \
-screen 0 600x800x16 +bs -br nologo &
wait 3

x11vnc -noncache -shared -forever &
sleep 13;

kindlevncviewer -config /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/config.lua \
-encodings "copyrect raw" 127.0.0.1:0 &
sleep 2;

xbindkeys -f /mnt/us/extensions/xorg/bin/xbindkeysrc
x11vnc -R clear_keys
xmodmap /mnt/us/extensions/xorg/bin/xmodmaprc

lxterminal
exec $0

which is ugly as hell but works everytime.

Key mappings are a little screwy right now but "working" if a little "crosswired".

Perhaps I will make time to fix it up.


still trying to figure what is eating the processor... something is making fsp go crazy. will investigate tomorrow. probably

[twobob]

aaaaand fixed.

it was a loop pulled way too tight...

happy...

[twobob]

cd /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer; 

export PATH=/mnt/us/extensions/xorg/bin:/mnt/us/extensions/perl/usr/bin:\
/mnt/us/extensions/lxterminal/bin:/mnt/us/kindlevncviewer:$PATH
export XKEYSYMDB=/mnt/us/extensions/xorg/share/X11/XKeysymDB
export DISPLAY=:0
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/us/kindlevncviewer:\
/mnt/us/extensions/system/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

killall -9 x11vnc
killall -9 kindlevncviewer
killall -9 xbindkeys

perl /mnt/us/extensions/xorg/bin/unlock_daemon&  # now modded for a less crazy tight loop

Xvfb -dpi 167 -extension XKEYBOARD +kb -noreset -nolisten tcp -screen 0 600x800x16 +bs -br nologo &
wait 3

x11vnc -noncache -shared -forever &
sleep 5;

kindlevncviewer -config /mnt/us/kindlevncviewer/config.lua -encodings "copyrect raw" 127.0.0.1:0 &
sleep 2;

xbindkeys -f /mnt/us/extensions/xorg/bin/xbindkeysrc
x11vnc -R clear_keys
xmodmap /mnt/us/extensions/xorg/bin/xmodmaprc

ratpoison &
lxterminal
exec $0

quicker boot, less than 3% inactive overhead. with window manager "ratpoison".

[thatworkshop]

Have you looked at Qindle? Might be useful for ideas etc too. Works on my K3.
