Transparent keyboard in illume

[kimaidou]

Hi

thanks for you reply. I would need some more help before running the
installation process. I will write a wiki page on openmoko.org when
succeeded.
My questions inside your text :

I will use this since I run SHR testing

I think SHR testing uses FSO5, so I have nothing to install, right ?

Are these lines command lines ? What should I copy / paste to my terminal to
add the correct feeds ?

After this, I will run opkg update

Is this correct (or do I need to add some more command lines ?):

#installing xserver-kdrive-glamo & xcompmgr
opkg install
http://kedrigern.dcs.fmph.uniba.sk/~riso/Openmoko/qwo/xserver-kdrive-glamo_1.3.0.0+gitr9b28d998424c77fbc057dd3a022ccbb122793a52-r3_armv4t.ipk
http://kedrigern.dcs.fmph.uniba.sk/~riso/Openmoko/qwo/xcompmgr_1.1.4-r0_armv4t.ipk

#modifiy the file */etc/X11/Xserver
nano **/etc/X11/Xserver
And add *ARGS="$ARGS +extension Composite"

#creating a file to launch xcompmgr and load it
echo "xcompmgr &" > /etc/X11/Xsession.d/xcompmgr_start
chmod +x /etc/X11/Xsession.d/xcompmgr_start
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/xcompmgr_start

#install qwo (+ imlib2 + libconfig) & e-wm
opkg install
http://projects.openmoko.org/frs/download.php/496/imlib2_1.4.1_armv4t.ipk
http://projects.openmoko.org/frs/download.php/497/libconfig_1.3.1_armv4t.ipk
http://kedrigern.dcs.fmph.uniba.sk/~riso/Openmoko/qwo/qwo_0.4-r0_armv4t.ipk
http://kedrigern.dcs.fmph.uniba.sk/~riso/Openmoko/qwo/e-wm_0.16.999.050+svnr38544-r3_armv4t.ipk

This is all I understoof reading your email and the webpage. Can you please
comment / modify it ?

thanks !
