Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?
by John Stoffel
Hi,
Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently
got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky
all the time, esp when it rains.
So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter.
I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild
about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet
another set top box to have to deal with...
So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service?
Thanks,
John

September meeting topic?
by Karl Lind
Howdy all,
I would like to give a talk on the Raspberry Pi project and I have two
of them to demonstrate various OS's (I have worked with the Debian and
Fedora implementations and look forward to the others as they come
out.). I have four SD cards, so that's the number of OS's I can bring
with me.
Have a great summer!

x86 Android VM
by dulsi＠identicalsoftware.com
Has anyone played with the x86 android images? I've tried running it under
kvm but can't seem to get networking to work. I tried 4.0 rc1 a while ago.
Looks like I may have found my answers on the release notes. It says
ethernet doesn't work. Looks like 2.2 is the last version with working
ethernet. That's disappointing.

by Doug Mildram
doug> Chuck is on vacation...hope the website didn't mislead; it said
"TBD" for upcoming meetings.

So I think we're "on break" for July,
and still hoping for a new August BBQ volunteer host. Or, I might.

Need keysym code of the FN key -- how?
by E Johnson
Hi guys,
I finally got a new keyboard after muddling along with my supernice one
that was rapidly dying. Many errors, repeating keys, skips; cable had to be
exactly the right angle; lights went out, etc. It needs rewiring. A
soldering iron is on its way, whenever the lender can drop it off here,
which clearly will not be today.
Meanwhile the new one is almost okay, even if it is plastic. This is a
Perixx PERIBOARD-502 PLUS, Wired USB Keyboard with Touchpad.
BUT -- it has one serious fault. On this keyboard, the outboard key on the
lower left side is FN but it needs to be CTRL. The CTRL key is in the wrong
place. I use this key hundreds of times/day.
So I need to remap this key to be the CTRL key.
I can run xev to get the keymap codes, for all keys but this FN key.
Apparently the FN key won't give any output by itself, at least not using
this method.
Without the code, I can't xmodmap this key.
I need output like this:
KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4600001,
root 0x111, subw 0x0, time 1003909681, (508,-351), root:(512,327),
state 0x4, keycode 37 (keysym 0xffe3, Control_L), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
-- where the part in parentheses after keysym contains the code I need.
The manufacturer said they would check with their R&D, but it might take
several days.
Some solutions to issues like these say this can be done in the BIOS, but
there's no guarantee, and I don't want to mess with the BIOS anyway.
Is there another way I can find the keymap code for this key? Some
keep-it-simple method that won't fry my overheated brain?
Thanks very much,
Liz J
