8363,

I just got around to loading your new version onto my Netvista machine, ( I was sick for the last month). I've got to say you did a good job improving it. It is now performing all the tasks I set out for it do, and it looks so much better with Fluxbox configured. One thing I can't seem to get figured out though, is how to get the keyboard layout to US. I did it once, but it would not stay. Can you refresh my memory? Thanks,

Joel

caulktel,

for X

remove /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb
or better rename into /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb.ger

but it is a workaround, not the right way (i just try to find out the right way)

without X

Look at /etc/init.d/rcS and delete or comment out the line
"loadkmap < /key.map" .

Hi,

I've been following this thread with great interest for several weeks, and with some googling and kernel hacking I'm now sat at my 8363 running as an X-terminal!

I was especially interested about the keymap discussion - I still have failed to get the Linux2200 X to use anything other than either german or US keymappings in X. Can you tell me how to make sure X uses a UK / GB keymap? This is the one thing I have yet to conquer! The xf86config uses the XkbdLayout, but this seems to make no difference what I alter it to.

Thanks for all your hard work, the 8363 is a great little machine once a little love and care has been furnished upon it!

Regards,

Adam.

Adam,
im afraid i coulndn't help you very much. As i wrote on the linux-2200.berlios
site i made it "doing by learning". I didn't found out how the
language stuff really work. The basis of linux-2200 is my Debian 3.0 (Woody)
installation on my Desktop-Pc, when i installed it, the Debian installation
program asked me which language - so i only installed the german keys.
To use it on the 8363 i made a
dumpkmap > key.map
and put the key.map into the linux-2200.
Maybe it will work, when you have a Debian 3.0 with the GB keymap and make a
dumpkmap > key.map .
Sorry i couldn't help you, but the next weeks i have no time to find out more.

hi,
apart from partitioning and then formatting my card as ext2 and placing the bflash.2200 file onto it are there any setting on the n2200 i need to adjust to make it see the bios update.

mine just sits there and goes about its business as if there was a compact flash card. i've tried default setting and everything under the sun.

does the cf patition need to be set as bootable?
the linux-2200.berlios.de instructions don't mention that.

regards, mark.

also... couldn't a linux kernal be compiled so that i could be a direct drop-in replacement for dsl's kernal? or even knoppix if a 1gig cf card was used. you can recompile the kernal to inculde things you need so why not just with an uncompressed kernal output?
