Subject: dvorak keymap for stowaway bluetooth keyboard - msg#00094
List: handhelds.maemo.user
Hi,
If anybody is interested, I wrote a dvorak mapping for my stowaway
bluetooth keyboard a while ago, to be used together with maemo-bt-plugin
[1]. It allows you to use the dvorak layout on your stowaway.
The only problem is what to do with the 'z' key, the stowaway guys put the
arrow-up on that location, so I mapped it on the '/' key. See below for
more info.
I sent it to the maintainer of maemo-bt-plugin a while ago (see below) for
inclusion in the distribution, but never heard from him. You can get the
map file from http://www.eyaloren.org/dvorak.map, just drop it into
/usr/share/kb-maps/ (note, the maemo-bt-plugin website mentions a wrong
path for these files).

Hi Tomas,
I finished the first version of the dvorak.map for the N770 bluetooth
plugin. it works great! Please find it attached.
There is only one problem: the stowaway uses the /? key for the arrow-up,
and separates the / and the ? over two keys. the problem is, that in the
dvorak layout, the 'z' is located there. the result is, that I hit arrow-up
every time i want to type a 'z'. what i did is put the 'z' there as i'm
used to, and move the arrow-up to the '/' key (at the far right) since I
think people use the 'z' more often than the arrow-up. It is not a great
solution, especially if you're navigating around with the other arrow keys,
so if you have another suggestion, I'd be hapy to hear it.
I have one other question: now that I can type in my own layout again, I
notice that the keyboard lags when I'm typing fast. Do you know if there's
anything to be done about that, or is that a limitation of the bluetooth
technology?

You might want to take a look at this:
<http://words.rancidbacon.com/maemo/announce-bdist-maemo-distutils-package-2006-09-15-08-50.html>
I wrote it to package up a Python script without needing any of the
Scratchbox or Debian packaging scripts.
Unfortunately for you I've only used it to install a single script, not
a complete package (on my to do list) but you might be able to extend it
to do so (assuming SOAPpy is a pure-Python package).
Alternatively you could look at copying the files manually (either on
the device itself, or on a PC--maybe even using distutils setup.py) and
possibly creating a deb from it using:
<http://words.rancidbacon.com/maemo/maemo-python-packaging-on-non-debian-part-two-2006-09-11-02-25.html>
Hope this is of use...

Perhaps there is a config setting buried somewhere that increases the DHCP client timeout before if drops back to a link-local address.
I did a bit of poking around on my device and it looks like a process called icd (Internet Connectivity Deamon) is responsible for setting everything up and it takes its instructions via dbus commands. You would have to get what magic incantation you send to icd to increase the the udhcpc client timeout or where the icd config file is from someone more informed than I.

Connecting to WIFI routers with dynamically-assigned IP addresses
Hi, All
I am still getting the Connecting to <SSID> via a local IP address
followed by a red "?" when connecting to unencrypted publically-accessible
WIFI hotspots using Internet Tablet OS 2006. I didn't used to have this
problem with ITOS 2005, (but there was not VOIP in that OS). Connecting over
a mobile phone via bluetooth works fine, (albeit even 384 kbaud doesn't
match WIFI 10baseT or 100baseT broadband.) It doesn't seem to be router
specific. Every WIFI router I tried resulted in the same state. Has anyone
posted or does anyone know of a standard fix to this problem?
Cheers,
Paule
