Nano-X update
Bret’s modified Nano-X is now in CVS, and will be in the next nightly build.
It is enabled in the DSGBA, DSMEM and SUPERCARDCF builds.
Bret’s usage instructions:
To get it to come up with some aps, try the following:
fbset -depth 16 -n
ifconfig lo up
nano-X & nanowm & nxclock &Without keyboard and pointer interfaces there isn’t anything you can do.
Next on the TODO list - mouse drivers.
List of nano-X apps currently enabled:
landmine
launcher
move
nanowm
npanel
nterm
ntetris
nxclock
nxev
nxkbd
nxterm
nxview
slider
vnc

Will it ever be enabled in the M3CF build?

This is happening quickly!
I guess the other carts still don’t give enough available memory to make it worth trying?
April 11th, 2006 at 4:13 pm
We don’t know yet.

Lol, I love your comment Pepsi

Great job in getting it into the CVS so fast after the userspace
April 11th, 2006 at 6:39 pm
Btw, VNC? as in, VNC viewer??? That would be great!
Controlling a system via my DS but then the good way (not win2DS or something)!

I dont suppose there’s any way we could get a build without waiting for it to be uh, nightly?
April 11th, 2006 at 7:22 pm
whoa….nice…it’s true things are happening quickly. I guess it’s because userspace was missing to do all this huh? Nice job..but…sigh i have a GBAMP2 CF…

Dan: Of course, just build it yourself.

Hi,
Great WORKS Pepsiman!
I dont know why, but when there will be SuperCard SD supported? I send you SuperCard IO files and they are long time on the internet, it is really so hard to support it, when you have code and examples?
Thanks, and i wish good luck!!!

GREAT WORK
once you get mouse driver it will be perfect(almost
(funny how many people think its pepsiman who is doing nano-x,
)
maybe people should read the whole post before commenting
but great work overall pepsiman

@david:
This is an operatingsystem, not ndslib
April 12th, 2006 at 1:01 pm
When will it have gbampsupport ?
April 12th, 2006 at 7:45 pm
Do you think it’d work on GBAmp ext2 build?
April 12th, 2006 at 7:50 pm
no
April 12th, 2006 at 10:36 pm
i followed the instructions,
and it just don’t wanna work on my supercard CF,
dslinux runs fine,
when i enter this
fbset -depth 16 -n
it responds with the settings it changed too.
ifconfig lo up
it gives nothing and gives me # again on the next line
nano-X
it shows a blinking cursor “_” on the bottom left side..
when i click “esc” it says this in shell,
create font: (height == 0) fpimd builtin font system (0)
create font: (height == 0) fpimd builtin font system (0)
munmap of non-mmaped memory by process 34 (nano-X) 06000000
#
i tried some other apps listed and it says,
nxclient: retry connect attempt 1
nxclient: retry connect attempt 2……..
….
nxclient: retry connect attempt 10
cannot open graphics ?
What am i doing wrong?…
April 12th, 2006 at 10:42 pm
nevermind,
,
i figured it out
you have to include the &’s
April 13th, 2006 at 5:45 am
Wow! an x window system! finally
Now to fix up the bugs it has, and badda bing
I’m glad to say it’s already turning out better than I excpected
April 15th, 2006 at 1:00 pm
Waw! Congratulations to all developers! This is really a Milestone ™.
Now just a simple mouse driver and we can begin coding wm’s, calendar apps, etc. The possibilities are endless
April 24th, 2006 at 8:25 am
I commited some code a few nights ago that is the start of a mouse driver. You will now get a K and M button in the upper right corner of the lower screen. I just need to get the mouse buttons straightend out and it will work. I was thinkig of using D pad for mouse buttons, Up and Down for left and right mouse keys. Maybe X and B keys too for left handed users. Any suggestions?
April 24th, 2006 at 6:34 pm
For now, using the D-pad is probably not a bad thing to do. But IMHO the mousedriver should register a touch of -100 ms as a click, and a touch of +100ms as a mouse move. Doubleclicking and dragging can be implemented in the same way as a touchpad.
Does the touchpad of the DS just support 1/0, or can it sense pressure?
April 25th, 2006 at 10:23 pm
Bret: Why are you complicating things? The input layer handles converting short touches into clicks automatically.

Have you guys looked at kdrive/tiny x at all as an x server? It is the xserver used by GPE (linux for ipaq & other pocket pc http://gpe.linuxtogo.org/projects/) If you hada working tiny X it would ease porting of all the cool PDA/PIM applications that are part of GPE.

When you’ve ported it to DSLinux, send a patch to the mailing list.
Instructions are on the wiki.

would fbui be a relevant alternative for dslinux ? http://home.comcast.net/~fbui/
