how to swap the Fn and Shift keys
----------------------------------------------------

WARNING: CHANGING THIS FILE OTHER THAN WHAT I ADVISE MAY BRICK YOUR DEVICE, I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE IF U BRICK ur N900!

Edit the file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51

find:

--------------------------------------------
key <LFSH> {
type[Group1] = "ONE_LEVEL",
symbols[Group1] = [ Shift_L ]
};
modifier_map Shift { Shift_L };
--------------------------------------------

Replace LFSH with RALT. This makes FN behave like shift.

Then find
--------------------------------------------
include "level3(ralt_switch)"
--------------------------------------------

remove this line, and replace it with:

--------------------------------------------
key <LFSH> {
type[Group1]="ONE_LEVEL",
symbols[Group1] = [ ISO_Level3_Shift ]
};
modifier_map Mod5 { ISO_Level3_Shift };
--------------------------------------------

This makes the shift key behave as FN.

After editing rx-51, use the command "setxkbmap" in xterm to activate it.

Now it would be MUCH more valuable if these mods would be documented as wiki entries instead of posts.... Thanks! :-)

Can you explain how to easily modify the led settings ? because there is many "patterns" and I don't know which one I should use (there is different models i saw). And is there only those colors ? R G B ?

PHP Code:


			
<!--
 <menuitem priority="20" name="Reboot">
  <return>6</return>
  <po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po>
 </menuitem>
 <menuitem priority="10" name="Soft poweroff">
  <return>7</return>
  <po>osso-powerup-shutdown</po>
 </menuitem>
 <menuitem priority="5" name="Top in XTerm">
  <callback service="com.nokia.xterm" path="/com/nokia/xterm" interface="com.nokia.xterm" method="run_command" bus="session" autostart="true">
   <argument type="string">/usr/bin/top</argument>
  </callback>
 </menuitem>
-->

That is the original section that was between the comment out pieces.

Here is the contents of the original file:
