| sicelo | so it seems there really is something about the reported wifi signal strength: https://github.com/maemo-leste/bugtracker/issues/730 | 00:56 |
|---|---|---|
| dakedres | Is there a way to like. Whitelist an app to display portrait? I don't see why there would be an issue, if it's a desktop app that works fine in a portrait window on my computer. But I dunno. Hilton may be weird | 09:13 |
| dakedres | s/hilton/hildon | 09:14 |
| Wizzup | Yeah, currently the app has to explicitly state support for portrait mode, but it's also been something that has bothered me. | 09:16 |
| Wizzup | we could just assume it works in portrait mode instead | 09:16 |
| Wizzup | freemangordon: what do you think? | 09:16 |
| Wizzup | we have landscape only (default), portait only, and both | 09:16 |
| Wizzup | why don't we make 'both' the default in h-d and see how that goes | 09:16 |
| dakedres | It would be really cool if there was a config file to set rules for it | 09:18 |
| Wizzup | there is some kind of black/whitelist IIRC, but sure if it also applies for portrair | 09:19 |
| Wizzup | portrait | 09:19 |
| Wizzup | sicelo: do you perhaps recall? | 09:25 |
| dakedres | Does anyone know of a command to properly rotate the screen on the droid4? I've tried xrandr --rotate, but the touchscreen still thinks it's landscape | 09:26 |
| Wizzup | to force rotate you mean? | 09:27 |
| dakedres | Yeah | 09:28 |
| Wizzup | dbus-send --system --type=signal /com/nokia/mce/signal com.nokia.mce.signal.sig_device_orientation_ind string:'portrait' | 09:28 |
| Wizzup | iirc | 09:28 |
| Wizzup | (this is from our irc logs) | 09:28 |
| dakedres | Oh I should check those first probably | 09:29 |
| dakedres | Ty | 09:29 |
| sicelo | mmm, i'm not really sure. i rarely use portrait mode :-) | 09:54 |
| sicelo | i *think* there's a key combination to force almost any application to rotate | 09:55 |
| sicelo | ah, can also be done via the transitions file, https://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/Features/hildon-desktop#Forced_Rotation | 10:04 |
| sicelo | ... if one wants everything to rotate, that is | 10:06 |
| dakedres | Wizzup: dbus-send --system --type=signal /com/nokia/mce/signal com.nokia.mce.signal.sig_device_orientation_ind string:'portrait' | 10:17 |
| dakedres | Tried this. Didn't work, maybe it's for the n900? | 10:17 |
| dakedres | sicelo: ... if one wants everything to rotate, that is | 10:25 |
| dakedres | After scrolling down a bit I found the whitelist/blacklist. Thanks! | 10:25 |
| dakedres | dakedres: Tried this. Didn't work, maybe it's for the n900? | 10:28 |
| dakedres | Wait. It only doesn't work when I have the keyboard open. Hmm | 10:28 |
| sicelo | it makes sense ... how would you look at a portrait display since the keyboard is then on the side? :-) | 10:30 |
| dakedres | Idea I had was using qutebrowser in portrait with the keyboard out for navigation | 10:34 |
| dakedres | I'd imagine it's extremely cozy | 10:34 |
| sicelo | i think it'd be funky :-D | 10:36 |
| sicelo | i guess a quick and dirty way to 'fix' that would be to disable gpio_keys temporarily | 10:42 |
| sicelo | but you must do that while the keyboard is in closed state | 10:53 |
| sicelo | `echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/class/input/event0/device/inhibited` (assuming gpio_keys is on event0 for you too. to find the correct node, `ls -l /dev/input/by-path/*gpio*`) | 10:55 |
| dakedres | I'll experiment with that, thanks | 11:00 |
| sicelo | sure. it does work - tested on my Droid 4 just now - at least xterm rotates even when keyboard is out | 11:02 |
| sicelo | note - the volume down key will stop working too, since it's exposed on that same evdev device | 11:04 |
| dakedres | With xrandr the touchscreen doesn't work, with that the keyboard doesn't work lol | 11:14 |
| dakedres | I see some people are able to | 11:15 |
| sicelo | you're rotating what? HDMI screen? | 11:17 |
| dakedres | *some people are able to use xinput to change the coordinate transform when rotating a touchscreen. But that's on Ubuntu Mobile or whatever. I guess I'll have to see if it'll work on maemo tomorrow | 11:17 |
| dakedres | sicelo: you're rotating what? HDMI screen? | 11:18 |
| dakedres | I'm able to rotate the built in screen with xrandr too | 11:18 |
| sicelo | but why? is the existing rotation not sufficient for your needs? at least it handles touchscreen rotation properly | 11:19 |
| dakedres | It's a potential alternative to disabling the gpio keys to allow rotating with the keyboard out. | 11:20 |
| sicelo | ok. | 11:21 |
| Wizzup | just xrandr won't rotate ts | 14:19 |
| uvos__ | xinput map-to-output will however | 15:38 |
| uvos__ | the code i added to h-d is hevly based on xinput map-to-output | 15:39 |
| Wizzup | yeah | 15:51 |
| dakedres | Yeah xinput is why I was reconsidering the xrandr approach | 19:09 |
| sicelo | no idea if Pali reads the logs ... we have wl1251-cal for extracting the wlan MAC address from CAL on N900. wondering if we have a tool for fetching BT mac? | 20:52 |
| sicelo | also looks like the data in CAL includes `als_calib` ... maybe that would be useful for https://github.com/maemo-leste/bugtracker/issues/436 | 20:53 |
