Hi there,

Here are some basic instructions for beginners (like me!) on how to  
set up the Jornada 720's US/UK keyboard to work properly under Xhpc  
(the HPCARM version of Xwindows).

The basic idea is that you need a file which instructs X how to  
understand your keyboard. For more details on how it works google for  
info on some of the following: xmodmap, xev, keysyms

I've cobbled together my own version of the required file (from bits  
and pieces on this list, plus my own tweaks), and it's included  
below. The easiest way I've found to use the file is to copy the text  
below (yes, just copy it as plain text) into a file called .Xmodmap  
(note the uppercase X) in the directory /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit so  
that you end up with the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap

In that same directory, you should find the file xinitrc. It's this  
file which will load your .Xmodmap file when you start X.

The benefits of this keyboard map are that all the keys bar one (the  
key for Caps Lock - who cares?) work at their face value. On my  
keyboard, for example, the tilde character ~ is printed in yellow as  
the third character on the key for number 1 and exclamation. This  
indicates that it should be accessed by pressing Function + 1. If you  
use the keymap below, that's the way your keyboard will work. (And  
similarly for the left/right bracket and left/right brace characters,  
the shift keys, the arrow keys, the various symbols on the number  
keys, and so on).

As I say, the only one I haven't worked out how to do is the caps  
lock key. This ought to be accessed by Function + Left Shift. For the  
time being, It is mapped to the windows key. Once you know what  
you're doing, feel free to change this. If I work out how to get  
Function + Left Shift working I'll try to remember to post back the  
updated keymap.

Anyway, enough talk. Here's the text that you need to copy into  
your .Xmodmap file. No doubt it's not perfect, but it's pretty close  
and a good start. It makes using X on your Jornada a much nicer  
experience.

PS I'd like to know if anyone found this file useful. Please post  
back to the mailing list <port-hpcarm@NetBSD.org> if you did.
