some pix from MNT Research crew visiting @republica's closing party yesterday, where we had a little gathering to celebrate our shipping of Pocket Reform and also the opportunity to show 'em to interested members of a different audience. it was very nice!
after a lot of trial and error and reverse engineering of a hdmi adapter from the seller i got the alternative display panel for pocket reform up and running today, finally. this was hard because docs were severely limited and @timonsku and me were extremely puzzled why nothing was working. in the end the escape clock frequency was too high, setting it to 24MHz worked.
what's the ~easiest~ way to forward input events (mouse, keyboard) from a wayland (wlroots) session on one computer to the other (also wayland/wlroots)?
ok netevent was a bit tricky to set up (because of permissions), but wow it works well... i can use my MNT Pocket Reform as a wireless keyboard+mouse(trackball) now :0
the first 18 MNT Pocket Reforms are fully packed and declared and will go out to Crowd Supply this friday. these are all "single" (non-Hyper), black case, white (clicky) kailh choc key models. many more to come.
today, in a really bad move, i plugged in a displayport breakout thing i was working on the wrong way around and fried the DP section of my trusted 10 year old eizo monitor. RIP
also a lot of other little frustrations, and a few minutes ago on the way home the cops suddenly blocked the one way road (left their car there and ran to some crime scene). after a while the cars behind me decided to go backwards so we all drove backwards for a while onto a big crossing. 😵💫
because debian unstable can't cross-build arm64 on x86/amd64 at the moment, CI is building reform-debian-packages natively on the RK3588 MNT Reform that i'm also using to watch voyager at the same time, because it is feierabend
