user button trouble

Hi,

I'm running Maverick on BeagleboardXM and I have read that the user
button is mapped to /dev/input/event0. However, this input seems to be
mapped to the mouse. All the other inputs are mapped to the keyboard
and mouse (again).

What am I doing wrong? Is the user button not mapped on Maverick to
any inputs?

Thanks,
T

It's not mapped properly on the xM, just last week, there was a patch
proposed for this:

i have followed the very same link. it gave me some unknown characters on the terminal. one more thing the link says to give the whole drive not a partition. as far as i know beagleboard doesnt directly read ext2 or ext3, so how am i gonna set my card up?

Thanks Robert. Do I have any alternatives? Can I write any software,
or do I need to modify the kernel?

Thanks,

You should really list the "unknown characters" as with out listing it
we don't have any hope of helping you.. :wink:

The ubuntu guy's have it setup to DD an img file to your mmc card...
which creates a fat16 and extX partition...

PS.. more then likely your xlo/u-boot combo is just too old.. Just
reflash it with my script:

Hi,

I followed these 2 links, that is all:

1. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/OMAPMaverickInstall
2. http://code.google.com/p/beagleboard/wiki/LinuxBootDiskFormat

Hope that helps.

You'll have to rebuild the kernel.. I just pushed this patch out, so
you can build it straight from my 2.6.38 tree:

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/2.6.38-devel/commit/219f22385ea42d11e023d2fa718d9a80bb3e3a19

git clone git://github.com/RobertCNelson/2.6.38-devel.git
cd 2.6.38-devel
./build_kernel.sh (fix up errors/warnings the script tells you about..)

Regards,
