USB keyboard in hostmode?

[Joseph Reeves]

Hi, that was me on the planet who used the usb keyboard for various
things on the Freerunner ( [1] & [2] )

I'm afraid I can't really give you much help as mine "just worked".
Once power was applied it functioned like a usb keyboard on a desktop
pc.

How are you managing to connect your devices to the FreeRunner?

Not much help. I know, but I can tell you about how it *should* work;
basically OM2007.2 seems very keyboard friendly - whenever an
application has focus you should just be able to type away at it (like
the terminal in my example), you can also use the arrow keys to scroll
in the application menu or simply hit "m" to jump straight to the
mediaplayer, for example. You can also do ctrl + alt + f1 to change to
a second login terminal and return to matchbox with ctrl + alt + f2.
Numpty Physics works great with the keyboard shortcuts and I've sent
an email or two using my employers web based email system, the
keyboard and minimo. Essentially om2007.2 + keyboard = small sized
linux desktop machine.

There is a matchbox config file you can edit that will result in the
mouse cursor being displayed - this should help your efforts there.

Cheers,

Joseph
