RE: File transfer for zaurus on linux

NO NO NO NO..... Do not create a directory called "uname-r" !!!

The line "/lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.usbmap" mean that you are supposed
to run the command "uname -r" and substitute the result with the original
text "`uname -r`". Here is an example running on my PC:
----------------------------- START PASTE ---------------------------
[sroutier@hydrogen sroutier]$ uname -r
2.4.19-16mdk
[sroutier@hydrogen sroutier]$ 
-----------------------------  END PASTE  ---------------------------
Which would give me "/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/modules.usbmap". Notice the
character ` (back-tick, usually located in the upper left corner of a US
keyboard), not to be confused with the character ' (single-quote, located
near the enter key middle row far right.) The back-tick character is a
special shell command that mean "run whatever is enclosed in back-ticks and
substitute with the output of that command". Here is a little example of the
back-tick running on my PC:
----------------------------- START PASTE ---------------------------
[sroutier@hydrogen sroutier]$ uname -r
2.4.19-16mdk
[sroutier@hydrogen sroutier]$ 
[sroutier@hydrogen sroutier]$ echo /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.usbmap
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/modules.usbmap
[sroutier@hydrogen sroutier]$ 
[sroutier@hydrogen sroutier]$ 
[sroutier@hydrogen sroutier]$ ls -laF /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.usbmap
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       109041 Sep 29 13:48
/lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/modules.usbmap
[sroutier@hydrogen sroutier]$ 
-----------------------------  END PASTE  ---------------------------

Hopefully that clarifies things a little bit....

I attached a tar-gzipped file containing 3 files
- My original "modules.usbmap" called "modules.usbmap.org"
- The patched "modules.usbmap", for mdk 8.2, called "modules.usbmap.sl5500"
- The script that patched the usbmap every time the PC reboots, called
"zaurus-SL5500".

You could simply use these file as-is or make your own based on them. To
activate the script "zaurus-SL5500" at boot you need to copy it to
"/etc/init.d", and run "chkconfig --add /etc/init.d/zaurus-SL5500"

Have fun....

bye.
