the real deal is at: maxxdesktop.co

I am preparing a new set of binaries for you all.

Eric, does MaXX works correctly with multiple keymaps for you?
I use

Code: Select all

setxkbmap -layout "us,ru" -option "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:caps"

for layout switching and when I'm switched to russian I can't interact with windows using mouse under MaXX DR3 anymore, hotkeys still do work though.
Moved setxkbmap to different switching hotkeys but it didn't help.
When under CDE I don't have such issue.
Please help
Thanks!

P.S.: http://dev.maxxdesktop.com/trac/maxxdesktop is down.

it's dev.maxxdesktop.co/trac/maxxdesktop

let me check over the weekend. I might have a solution. cheers

hey again! I am pretty sure it's Motif related. DR3 ships with both Motif-2.130 and Motif-2.3.1. However, 5Dwm is linked against v2.1.30 and I think that's a limitation for multiple-keymaps. newer Motif handles better. Haven't done any tests yet... have you try to restart the WindowManager (5DWm) after switching keymaps? you can do it from Toolchest or from the command line :# tellwm restart (if I am not mistaking). keep me posted

cheers

Thanks! Unfortunately it doesn't help. I will enroll VM to retest in clean environment.

In the meantime, I've ask a friend of mine (Peter Kovář) who has using 5Dwm with several keymaps...

here's an example of his command line :


Hope this helps as well.

setxkbmap -layout 'us,sk_qwerty,cz_qwerty,de' -option 'grp:rwin_toggle' -model pc105

Hope this helps as well.

Thanks. Unfortunately his command doesn't help. Using 'de' instead of 'ru' doesn't help as well. Meanwhile found that also can't operate with MaXX while some control group key is pressed, I suppose its somehow related?
Now switched from real machine to clean VM and made a video: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByyEP ... VR6a3ppYzg Same issue there. Perhaps some incompatibility of MaXX DR3 with modern Debian or software stack? CDE is fine with keymaps. Suppose should try something different or older If Peter doesn't have this issue, could you please tell me which versions of Linux (and which distribution) and MaXX he uses?

Is anyone else having problems getting onto MaxxDesktop's website? Because I've been trying for 2 days to get into it to get a respotitory link but this is all I get:


I don't know if this is because I live in the UK or it's something else but it's now really bugging me I cannot try the UI out... =\

Not really related since you have been trying for two days, but related because you are in the UK as am I.. but.. BT have gone tits up this afternoon.. in fact so bad it was announced on the News.. thank the lordy I have Virgin line also..

Anyway I can acquire what I'm looking for w/out the website? I'm curious on trying the IRIX interface out for myself...

I can confirm the site is dead State-side too

Still down. Somebody wanna send Eric a PM? He was just here last week so presumably he still wants to keep things scootin' along...

Any news on this? I'd like to get hold of the binaries...

Eric said he was going to look into why the site's been down a week or two ago. But that's sort of been the history of this project, short bursts of enthusiasm followed by long periods of radio silence. PM him or send him an email (maxxi.desktop -> gmail.com, don't know if he reads it or not), either way don't expect much, he's a busy guy with a burgeoning family... 0_o

Is the site down again?

It never went back up after he said he was going to check on it a couple of weeks ago...

it did... it's down again... someone having fun bringing my server down. will be back up in a bit. sorry about that

i confirm... someone is constantly attacking the server... what f**** idiot!

can you see what kind of attack it is?

The website is finally back up again! Although the DL's are for the DR2 release... I don't know what's up with that...

EDIT: nvm, this seems like old news! XD

I will be moving the downloads, docs and other tech docs back to maxxdesktop.co

I think we are good. Made a few changes to the configuration and the main URL. It's working while I migrate to another service/server. Any suggestion for a wiki based service?

here's the link; http://dev.maxxdesktop.co/trax/maxxdesktop/wiki

will update the main site as well.

Cheers

I bet it is those crazy mofoes over at that CDE fork or perhaps it is Tom from TWM... I know he hates competition!
