Hi drksoft,

For the startfluxbsh, open it in an editor and add the path to the mouse emulator, followed by &. For mcookie you can either bitbake it or install it with apt-get if you’re using the debian image. You can also type it in as a script directly, as it’s quite short. Good Luck!

Here you go All..

For the ones that want a mouse with there existing images, note that you need
the uinput module and the evdev module .

If your running 2.6.29-r2 then here are the links

http://oracle.aliosa27.net/zipit2/ipk/zipit2/kernel-module-uinput_2.6.29-r2.3_zipit2.ipk

http://oracle.aliosa27.net/zipit2/ipk/zipit2/kernel-module-evdev_2.6.29-r2.3_zipit2.ipk

you will want them to load on boot..

Xorg will need the evdev driver. if your running any of the images I have posed then you allready have this.

Here is the link to a new image with audio,X,sound, and mouse supported.
http://aliosa27.net/projects/zipit2/zipit2-audio+x+mouse.gz

and here is a link to the userspace mouse driver.

http://aliosa27.net/projects/zipit2/z2mouseemu

does not fork so you will want to add it to your x startup script with an &

There is no config options at this point , there will at some point…
It is pretty basic, works for my needs…

dpad is mapped to mouse events
the center button,and the stop button are the 2 mouse buttons.

you can drag and whatnot as well….

One issue/2 issues to note are, keymapping is way of for number keys/etc// working on that today..and you only have basic up down left right controls on the mouse…..

Enjoy(more to come)

Hey Jason,

Have not compiled it myself, do you mean server or client? Server keeps 2 copies of a display buffered so 240×320 x 2 you’re not looking at a lot of memory usage. VNC viewer though, will be dependent on screen size of client and implementation of display client occulling. Good Luck!

Hi All,

Excellent progress and work since the early days of sweetlittlemre and gpsfan in kernel land!

I was curious if anyone has tried VNC on Z2? VNC runs a bit pokey on some older 200MHz Windows CE HPC devices I have, but runs pretty well on my smartphone at 528MHz.

Thank you all for your efforts and time to share it!

Nice Work! Great news! Xorg doesn’t actually require that much more overhead

Good news everyone, I scrapped keymouse because it just would not work…Read up on uInput and put together a userland program to map the D-pad keys to mouse movements, consider it beta. It does not work with xfbdev, no idea why(yet), so you will need to use Xorg…sad day…

I will put it up a bit later as well as an image that has working sound/x/mouse/wireless…

Tootles…

Ahh, yeah that did it. Forgot that I was going to flash the r2 kernel after I got home (since I don’t travel with the tools to wire a serial mod on the road, my other half would kill me if I did XD ) Sound works fine with the r2 image, as expected.
