Below you'll find packages that have been tweaked or changed in some fashion. They have either been changed to work on the SL-5600 or have just had usability changes applied.
Be sure to read the associated notes and Readme files where present. The original software authors should not be expected to support these packages.
IRK Note: This has been obsoleted as of IRK 0.10.0, which can be found on Craig's site or here. |
An excellent package written by Craig Graham for using various IR keyboards with the Zaurus. As of this writing (04-MAY-2003), only the cool Pocketop keyboard has been tested.

kbdsim (fbvnc module) |
This is a drop-in replacement for the kbdsim.o kernel module found in the fbvnc server (for the SL-5500 and SL-5600) maintained and distributed by SDG Systems. The kernel module distributed with the SL-5600 version is compiled for the
SL-5500 and complains when insmod-ed into the kernel. I don't care too much for the errors, so I've compiled the module for the SL-5600 kernel... This file must be installed after fbvnc. The fbvnc package must be re-installed to use the original fbvnc module. Changes: None. |
