Nov 01 14:17:45 <not_david> anyone know how to get minicom or something similar to work on a palm tx so i can use my real keyboard? editing confs is a pain in the ass with the touch screen.
Nov 01 14:32:59 <marex> well just run it
Nov 01 14:33:07 <marex> $ minicom [ENTER]
Nov 01 14:33:50 <tmzt> how does minicom help with that?
Nov 01 14:35:12 <not_david> i thought it was minicom that would allow me setup a serial interface to the usb port on the tx
Nov 01 14:35:32 <not_david> if im mistaken, please do correct me,
Nov 01 14:36:08 <marex> eh ?
Nov 01 14:36:15 <marex> just what exactly do you need to do ?
Nov 01 14:36:25 <marex> anyway ... I'll bbiaw (in an hour or so) ...
Nov 01 14:36:54 <not_david> use the keyboard on my machine to type commands on the tx
Nov 01 14:44:47 <not_david> is normally just ssh in, but wifi is touch and go on the tx
Nov 01 14:45:57 <not_david> id*
Nov 01 14:51:11 <tmzt> then what you want is a getty, not minicom
Nov 01 14:51:20 <tmzt> what os are you using on tx?
Nov 01 14:54:33 <not_david> tmzt: im just using angstrom with opie right now
Nov 01 14:55:11 <tmzt> okay, then edit /etc/inittab
Nov 01 14:55:22 <tmzt> and make sure there's a getty on /dev/ttyS0
Nov 01 14:55:37 <tmzt> assuming you are using usb to serial cable
Nov 01 14:55:47 <tmzt> otherwise figure out what the gadet serial port is and use that
Nov 01 15:10:08 <not_david> tmzt:  thanks. ill give it a go.
