Hi all! Here is my first ebuild (hopefully of many more) - packaged up as accessx-0950.tgz AccessX is a small set of two utilities (console and X11) that allow you to adjust the XKEYBOARD accessibility features. This is important for the handicapped or people with Toshiba laptops that have the strange behaviour of repeating keys under X11 even when only tapped once (The reason I needed it). You can check out the web page at: http://cmos-eng.rehab.uiuc.edu/accessx/ I placed it under x11/misc in my portage tree. It depends on virtual/x11. Enjoy and thanks for such great work! Sean
No matter what I try, Bugzilla says that the file was missing or empty when I try to attach it to this bug. I've used Mozilla and Galeon on Linux and Internet Explorer on Windows 2000 to try to do this all to no avail. Any ideas?
see bug #71 for attachment issues.
Created attachment 669 [details] First AccessX Ebuild This is the ebuild for AccessX a command line and X app that allows you to set the various XKEYBOARD settings for handicapped accessiblity usage, personally preferance, or to fix broken keyboards like that on the Toshiba Satellite 5005 series laptops.
wrong button last time :)
Hi Sean. I committed the ebuild. However it would be nice to know what license this tool is released under. This is not quite clear from website and README. George
quote from Dan Linder ( dlinder@uiuc.edu ) the Author regarding license: "Sean- It's GPL'ed. I don't think the license was included in the source distro (which it should be), but it can be had frm the usual sources. (gnu.org, etc) This includes both the low-level command-line utility, as well as the TCL/Tk GUI frontend. Are you planning on reusing the source to some end? I am always curious as to what people do with it. thanks, - Dan"
Thanks for the info. I updated the ebuild.
