I don't have a Linux environment handy where I'm typing this, so I cannot check whether KDE is in fact capable of performing this magiks.

The only one that comes to mind is to hack the kdrive X server to treat a stylus tap as a mouse move, ignoring the click -- and use the dpad enter key (or some other) held down in combination with a stylus tap to simulate a mouse click.

What do you think?

It shouldn't be a big deal (hopefully) to fix; I'm slowly working away at getting KDE compiled and going from there. Penguinbait, how did you make KDE? --configure and "make install"or using dpkg-buildpackage? It's taking a while even just to figure out what packages are essential and compiling them too.

Hacking the kdrive code to simulate a right-click would be more interesting to me, using a button in combination to denote a right-click. There's been quite a few times in which it would have been handy.

OK, I got the sound working in KDE, not sure if anyone else figured this out yet?


Control Center
Sound System
Hardware Tab
Select the Audio Device (Enlightened Sound Daemon)
(Apply)
General Tab (scroll Down) (Test Sound)

Now noatun will play mp3's and you can use KDE "System Notifications"

I am using konqueror to browse SMB shares and play mp3's with noatun

Sweet!!!!! I can't believe it took me this long, you think I would have tried all the settings!!!

My only real problem at this point is that the virtual keyboard sometimes doesn't register the first tap on a key, but then on the next tap registers two keypresses of the key instead which makes things very difficult to use. I tried turning off key repeat to no avail.

I'm working on seeing what I can do about getting stuff like a menu button. I found something that might work... I'll post back if I make any progress on that front.

Thanks for the work on this, guys.

EDIT: To switch to double-click (because we don't appear to have access to the Mouse portion in Control Center, where this is normally changed), run kpersonalizer and choose Windows behavior. This will give KDE double click behavior. I've then went into keyboard shortcuts and tried to give one of the buttons the Popup Menu Context command, but it doesn't appear to do anything, unfortunately.
