Hardware / Thinkpad T450S trackpoint scroll button, can it be mapped?
« on: March 11, 2021, 06:57:00 am »
Hi all

For as long as I've been using my T450S with ArcaOS, I haven't been able to get the trackpoint's scroll button working as intended - whenever I press it, the cursor just jerks around the screen in a random direction. It's not that big a deal as much, rather a QOL thing that I'd love to wrangle.

I wasn't able to find a solution to potentially remap it and was hoping to see if anyone has experienced anything similar and might have a solution.

If it helps at all,  I tried an external mouse as well, finding that while scrolling itself worked fine, there was no response when I clicked the on scroll wheel. It did function perfectly and as intended when using my M93P however (using Firefox to test).

Thanks in advance as always  ;D

Hi

Wim has a useful tool, usbwarn, that opens the Drives folder when a USB drive is attached.
This tool includes a cmd file that I think could be modified to also play a sound. See https://home.hccnet.nl/w.m.brul/usbstick/index.html


Regards

Pete

Sweet, that's actually pretty useful just for the fact that it automatically opens the drives folder... Now, to modify the script and write another daemon for ejection  ;D

Applications / USB sound effects - Any methods?
« on: March 01, 2021, 09:18:25 pm »
Hi all. I know it's a bit frivolous and pointless but it's come across in my recent obsession with desktop customization... Is there any viable way to replace the PC beeps for a USB drive being inserted/removed to be replaced with a Wave sound like in other OSes? The idea of having a play.cmd script execute did come to mind but I'm not sure what the best way to go about it would be.

Thanks for sharing.

Ibrahim, XDM is more like a wishlist, It haven't been ported, right?

Well, there's no native port but the Java version does run on OS/2, albeit with the issue that I mentioned. I actually learned of this program's existence through Joop's page: https://joopn.home.xs4all.nl/os2ecs/ecs6e80.htm

I do realize now that it's probably more of a wishlist situation considering it would probably be best for natively supported software to be bundled/configured before anything else, my apologies ;D

A straightforward, modern and easy to use download manager of some kind I reckon would be a great addition. With the resources a Firefox session takes by simply being active, I personally find it difficult to multi-task whilst I'm downloading say, a large video or part of my music library.

I'd suggest XDM but as of recently it seems to be having issues connecting to most HTTPS servers. Jdownloader does not have this problem but is quite slow (50-100kb/s on an otherwise 250kb/s to 500kb/s connection).

Hi Dave.

I copied it into it's own directory (C:\PROGRAMS\qtwebtest5_4) which I've then added under PATH (LIBPATH had no success either) in config.sys. I've added added the check.log in case it helps; from what I can see, it's looking for DLLs which are definitely installed and updated from the Netlabs-exp repo where required.

Notepad++ is a really big one in my eyes, it's easily the best text editor I've ever used and I'd give anything to see it on OS/2.

From personal experience, they will manually email you the good stuff, it took a bit under a day for me. Just give 'em some time  :)

Storage / Re: Regarding the Netlabs FAT32 driver
« on: December 28, 2020, 09:23:11 am »
Hi Dariusz.

Your recommended modified IFS statements did the trick! I ran some basic tests involving moving a few GB's worth of files with both my USB and local partition, and it seems to be operating smoothly.

I'll continue to monitor the situation and update the thread if any further problems arise  ;D

I'm running 0.10.r383 on ArcaOS and I've verified there are no duplicates, the line referring to FAT32.ifs is as follows:
Quote
ifs=C:\OS2\BOOT\FAT32.ifs /cache:2048 /h /q /ac:* /largefiles /fat /exfat

All IFS references are just after the first line which I think is required for JFS to start:
Quote
DEVICE= C:\OS2\BOOT\UNICODE.SYS

Storage / Regarding the Netlabs FAT32 driver
« on: December 27, 2020, 10:50:02 am »
After seeing Dariusz's recent thread, I'm now using the Netlabs FAT32 driver instead of the AN one and life is already so much more convenient.

All is not well in paradise however... Does anyone get any stability/access issues with this driver and if so, are there any good tricks on avoiding those problems (Namely the SYS0266 error)? I'm finding I have to reinstall the driver and reboot a few times afterward in order to get it to read/write FAT32 partitions (all formatted with DFSEE) which otherwise run fine on my other non OS/2 environments.

Thanks in advanced as always  :)

Peter's usbcfg might help in such a case.

It absolutely would! I'll definitely keep this utility in mind the next time I need to pull something like this off  :)
