NAME

       gpe-login - - login window for the G Palmtop Environment.

SYNOPSIS

       gpe-login

DESCRIPTION

       gpe-login is the main login manager for the G Palmtop Environment (GPE). The gpe-login window supports the display of the owner information
       added through gpe-ownerinfo and setting a background image for the login window. The gpe-login package also implements the 'Lock display on
       suspend' feature.

       This manual page was written for the Debian(TM) distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

OPTIONS

       --autolock
	   Lock screen when device goes to suspend, not after some time has passed in order to protect the screen upon resume. (Can also be set
	   directly in the GUI configuration by selecting "lock display on suspend" in the Login Setup.)

       --geometry
	   X geometry specification (see "X" man page).

       --hard-keys
	   Provides support for using the ipaq's front panel buttons to enter your password for gpe-login. This behaviour is enabled with the new
	   "--hard-keys" command-line option, which you can pass in from /etc/Xinit.d/99gpe-login.

	   To use this facility, your password currently needs to be four characters long and consist only of the characters 1234NESW. 1234 are
	   bound to the four circular function keys; NESW are bound to the four major directions on the joypad.

	   There is no "delete" or "enter" in this mode. Gpe-login simply looks at the four most recent characters you typed. If you make a
	   mistake while entering your password, simply start over.

	   By default, the embedded xkbd is suppressed when you use --hard-keys. You can turn it back on by passing the --xkbd argument. If you
	   want to supply extra arguments to xkbd (eg to select a simplified map with large friendly keys), use --xkbd "-k foo.map" or whatever.

       --xkbd
	   "Classic" mode, gpe-login displays an embedded xkbd and prompts the user to type their password in an entry box. Use --xkbd to
	   re-enable classic mode if hard-keys is also set.

NAME

       gpesyncd - synchronisation agent for GPE PIM data

SYNOPSIS

       gpesyncd [-r, --remote] [-d, --daemon [PORT]]

DESCRIPTION

       gpesyncd synchronises PIM data by transforming vCards, vEvents, vTtodo and iCals to the appropriate format in the SQLite database of the
       respective GPE applications and vice versa.

       gpesyncd exports and imports PIM data either to stdout or over TCP/IP.  It can also be used as a command line tool to access all the PIM
       data.

       opensync-plugin-gpe needs gpesyncd to run on the machine where the GPE application data are stored.

OPTIONS

       -r, --remote
	   Starts gpesyncd in remote mode, which means that all input must be entered as <nn>:<data> where <nn> is the length of the data <data>.
	   Output follows the same convention.

       -d, --daemon [PORT]
	   Starts in TCP/IP mode. Listens on port 6446 unless PORT is specified.

MODES

       REMOTE MODE
	   You can run this program in "remote" mode, that means for everything you want to write to it, you have to prepend the number of bytes
	   you're actually writing.

	   For example, you want to write "help", you type in: "4:help". Sounds useless, but when using it for syncing from a remote computer it
	   knows when the input ends and you can even send newlines. To activate the remote mode, just run it with "gpesyncd --remote".

       DAEMON MODE
	   To activate the daemon mode run it with "gpesyncd -D". You can specify optionally the port by adding a port number after the -D
	   parameter, e.g.  "gpesyncd -D 2442" will listen on port 2442. The default port is 6446.

	   Only IPs that are listed in $HOME/.gpe/gpesyncd.allow are allowed to connect to the gpesyncd. You can add IP addresses while running
	   the daemon, whenever someone tries to connect to the daemon, it'll check all the listed IPs whether they are allowed or not.

	   No wildcards or something like gpesyncd.deny are implemented!
