MaxdamantusHmm .. wonder if there's a shortcut to open the hildon-status-menu dialogue.. my digitiser seems to have gotten worse.13:55
Maxdamantus(or some dbus command that I can bind to a key combination)13:58
*** PrestelPirate has quit IRC14:01
KotCzarnyyou can try xdo + location click14:01
MaxdamantusHeh.14:02
KotCzarnyor xdotool14:02
KotCzarnyand you can always hack the hildon source to add a shortcut14:03
MaxdamantusSeems that you can detect key presses specifically in the task switcher, with "/apps/osso/hildon-desktop/key-actions/dbus_launcher_navigator", which would be a convenient place to put the shortcut, but probably need some way other than xdo to open the menu from there.14:06
KotCzarnyyou can use xdotool to 'click' in 0,014:07
Maxdamantus0,0 will open the task switcher, which already has a keyboard shortcut (ctrl-escape; I already use that a lot)14:08
KotCzarnyhmm14:08
KotCzarnywhat is hildon status menu then14:09
Maxdamantusand in the task switcher you can't directly open the status menu dialogue.14:09
MaxdamantusThe dialogue with network connection, volume, etc.14:09
Maxdamantuser, ctrl-backspace*14:10
bencohwhat if you click on, say, 5,5 ?14:11
bencohor some other coordinate14:11
bencohah, not 5,5, nevermind14:11
bencohbasically the status-menu button coordinates, not sure what those would be14:11
KotCzarnyi still dont know what is hildon status menu, must be rusty memory14:12
KotCzarnybecause status panel applets all have specific coords then14:12
bencohKotCzarny: the thing with the clock and various status applet14:12
KotCzarnyi must find my n900 and check14:12
bencohKotCzarny:14:13
bencohhttps://tabletui.files.wordpress.com/2009/12/14.png14:13
KotCzarnythen yeah, most likely 240,0 click14:14
bencohdepends on the theme actually14:14
KotCzarnyor 64,014:14
bencoh(I think)14:15
KotCzarnystill, still would need additional clicks to do anything with it14:15
KotCzarnyxorg had mouse-emulation mode14:16
KotCzarnymaybe it's not completely disabled in maemo14:16
MaxdamantusI've been wanting to experiment with mouse emulation using the touchscreen.14:19
MaxdamantusWonder if there's something you can just tell to Xorg to make that happen.14:20
Maxdamantus(ie, basically use the touchscreen as a relative positioned device rather than absolute)14:20
KotCzarnyas in 'gamepad overlay' type of thingy? ;)14:20
MaxdamantusNo, as in just pretend it's a touchpad.14:21
Maxdamantuslike on a laptop.14:21
MaxdamantusSo you just have a regular mouse and you move the position of the mouse relatively.14:21
KotCzarny    MatchIsTouchpad "on"14:23
KotCzarny    Driver "evdev"14:23
KotCzarny    Option "Mode" "absolute"14:23
KotCzarnybut it might be set up differently on 2009's xorg14:24

KotCzarnyis xinput available on maemo?14:25
KotCzarnyxinput set-mode ABSOLUTE|RELATIVE14:26
*** PrestelPirate has joined #maemo14:32
*** PrestelPirate has quit IRC14:34
bencohI don't think it is, but adding it shouldn't be too hard14:43
Maxdamantusxinput 1.6 or whatever I was trying to build is too recent for some of the packages in maemo, will try building an older version tomorrow. I have a feeling I've actually already tried just setting the mode to relative but it didn't work.14:47
MaxdamantusWill try on my laptop at work tomorrow, since that has a touchscreen.14:47
KotCzarnymaybe the driver code for touchscreen has some param14:47
KotCzarnyie. kernel module option14:48
KotCzarnywhich interface touchscreen uses in x for maemo?14:48
Maxdamantusinterface? it's just using evdev.14:49
KotCzarnyevdev is and interface14:49
KotCzarnythen maybe those options i've pasted earlier could work14:49
KotCzarnyreplacing absolute with relative or whatever is supported14:50
KotCzarnybut it would also need enabling mouse pointer14:50
KotCzarnyand disabling autoclicking on press14:50
MaxdamantusRight, so that's probably why you can't just set the mode.14:54
KotCzarnysome tap to click should be in touchscreen driver14:57
MaxdamantusSounds like that mode indeed isn't for controlling how the input driver is meant to handle the input but for setting some flag in events sent to clients.14:57
Maxdamantusso when an X client receives a "mouse" event, it just has a flag that says whether it was from an "absolute" device or from a "relative" device.14:57
KotCzarnystill a nice idea to make, and game emu folks would love it 10 years ago14:58
KotCzarny:)14:58
MaxdamantusI think I saw in a video that Pinephone was doing it.14:58
KotCzarnypinephone use recent software14:59
KotCzarnyso it's easier to pull off14:59
KotCzarny*uses15:19
