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.

@timonsku this display doesn't seem to have built in backlight control via dcs. so i did a totally-not-a-hack to PWM the led enable at 100khz via a recent version of the pwm-gpio.c driver from stefan wahren

anyone can get me the datasheet for Erised ER88477?

mntmn,
@mntmn@mastodon.social avatar

@DenJohn thanks, but i need the datasheet for the chip

mntmn,
@mntmn@mastodon.social avatar

@lina this is not the datasheet for the chip. only a partial datasheet for a display, which isn't useful for me at this point

Turns out that at https://fkcaps.com/custom/ I can buy custom color and custom label low-profile keycaps for the kailh choc brown switches of my MNT Reform open hardware laptop. I might've gone a bit overboard but I really like how colorful my keyboard is now and how easy it is to make the Reform my very own custom computer. 💻 ❤️

@josch amazing! how did i miss this?! probably should have logged into discord in the last year or so

@josch ahhhh so there is a catch :D but nonetheless, cool. discord because i chat with FKcaps via discord, it's their messenger of choice

Microsoft suddenly going to town again with ARM/qualcomm surely will be good for us in terms of more arm64 software compat and Linux mainlining efforts for Qualcomm hw.

also, people who are tired of all these AI anti-features can be sure that the MNT Reform family will be free of that stuff.

@chainq also my main question atm. at least we can start with QCS6490

Holy smokes does this website bring Firefox on to its knees. Even two Xeons and Radeon Pro w5700 can't carry this.

@thomholwerda on iphone safari a bunch of fonts seem to be missing which are then replaced with times new roman, esp the main Surface Pro type over the first video 🙃

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)?

hadn't seen netevent yet. the setup seems a tiny bit involved https://github.com/Blub/netevent

mntmn,
@mntmn@mastodon.social avatar

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

@josch the opposite is true! this is how it is prototyped :D

@chiefgyk3d didn't feel any delay! i didn't try playing a high reaction speed game with it though
