I believe is was using kvnc or krfb to connect outward. For vnc into the Z2, I believe i was using x0rfbvnc. For both yes, they should be apt-get installable. I don’t have a z2 to test with right now, but I recall that I used a kde version for the viewer client. Good luck!

Thank you for the help and advice in an earlier post.
Now have debian working on the z2.
Noticed you mention using vnc in another post. Have been trying to get this working but can’t find any vnc clients in the repos that came with the debian install.
Which client are you using and is it ‘apt-get installable’ from a repo?

Apologies for dropping this odd off post question in.

Haven’t tried them out myself, don’t have a Z2 handy. Might have to trial and error them. To my knowledge alt-tab has been working in flux and icewm when the map is set. You can also set the key combination in .fluxkeys to ctrl-* as well. Good Luck!

@hunter – yeah i know that little address for aliosa27′s site for getting the debian images, keymaps, and mouse emulator. Which keymap file in there is lokichaos’s? There’s a file called “keymap-final” in aliosa27′s /projects/zipit2/mark2 folder. After that, there’s “keymap” and “keys” inside of /projects/zipit2.

Now of course i want to be using z2mouse-option, but what is “fkeys” inside of /projects/zipit2/z2mouse-history?

Middle mouse click sounds cool, and maybe alt tab in fluxbox.

Yeah, permissions can be a tricky issue in linux. The lokichaos keymap should be in aliosa27′s repo, and I believe it was also linked to from the ‘Z2 gaming and system update – GBA, GB/GBC, ScummVM ” article. You can use the output from ‘xev’ to get keycodes for tweaking a custom keymap if that ends up being easier.

That’s very interesting that ext3 sans journaling is speedier than ext2. I would have guessed the opposite, I’ll have to try ext3 next userland I flash. Thanks for the info! If you finally get your keymap tweaked the way you want it, consider posting it up to the sourceforge page for others. Good Luck!

I’ll bite the bullet and get one thing done first which is making this thing plain old usable. Then i’ll mess around with a user account.

I suppose a question you could answer for me is where do i get lokichaos’s keymap? I didn’t see it on the page where i downloaded keymap.map and debain-Z2.tgz. And googling “lokichaos keymap zipit” got me an irc archive and pastebin sites.

Good thing to know is i did get this thing working with ext3 (of course with journaling off) for a more speedy fs. It appears to boot up faster, but i didn’t whip out the stop watch yet, however actual loading of programs and apt-get update is faster. A newer kernel with ext4 support and journaling off as well should be pretty awesome too. This debian install is a portal to debian sid as well.

After starting flux, does your process monitor or output from ‘ps -ef’ show that z2mouse-option is running? Does the z2mouse-option file have world-readable and executable permissions? Not sure what’s going on but hopefully this info will get you in the right direction. Good Luck

Lo and behold i can’t get the mouse to work in userspace. What’s up with that?
