hey guys ...
i decided to bring the german layout for the stowaway bluetooth layout on my own. so, here i am and i hope i am nearly finished.
the most recent layout can always be found here:
http://lancode.de/nokia770/stowaway-de/
to install: simply download one of the map files copy it to your n770 and
launch /var/lib/install/usr/bin/xmodmap <path to your map-file>
but of course, there are some problems and i hope U know how to fix them ;)
my concept was to reflect the original storaway keys (in quertz layout) as they are printed on the keyboard!
known bugs are:
- the "#" key, wont create a " ' " if used with shift
- for that reason the " ' " has moved to the key "ß" when pressed with FN
- some of the keys (°, €, §, Yen-Sym, Pound-Sym, Ä, Ü, Ö, etc ...) wont wont work in Nokia's Texteditor but all these signs work in X Terminal
- to get @ and \ on the keyboard, u have to press FN and a or s, NOT FN
- {,}, and [,] are currently (in v3) not mapped, cause the keys on my stowaway produce no usable codes when pressed with FN or FN
So, my first conclusion is that my layout is with my keyboard the by far most usable ...
I can live with every error except the last 2!

So, and now its up to you, to help me a bit ...
the keys a,s,d,f,g,h,j will produce the following keys if they become pressed normally! => 38,39,40,...,44
the problem is, that they produce the same keycodes if i am pressing them together with FN! xev reports that they make NO difference .. so i decided to try to bind them with blue FN
the keys a,s,d,f,g,h,j will produce the following keys if they become
pressed with FN! => 67,68,69,...,73 , but these keys are partly used from the n770 for maximize, minimize, toggle between fullscreen, so we cannot use them all :(
we can only use those which are not needed by the n770!
original:
keycode 67 = F1 F11
keycode 68 = F2 F12
keycode 69 = F3 F13
keycode 70 = F4 F14
keycode 71 = F5 F15
keycode 72 = F6 F16
keycode 73 = F7 F17
keycode 74 = F8 F18
keycode 75 = F9 F19
keycode 76 = F10 F20
modified:
keycode 67 = at
keycode 68 = backslash
keycode 69 = degree
keycode 70 = F4 F14
keycode 71 = F5 F15
keycode 72 = F6 F16
keycode 73 = F7 F17
keycode 74 = F8 F18
keycode 75 = F9 F19
keycode 76 = F10 F20
i have 2 possible solutions:
1st: somebody tells me why some keys wont work when they get pressed with FN! if we solve this problem i can simply bind the missing keys ( {,}, [,] )
2nd: we dont use the FN at all and replace it with the use of ALT! we can do this, because i tested them and i can report happly that they behave responsible :)
the problem is, i cant get the alt-key to work with any of my keys :(
