2Welcome to LISA System's

4 QDM - the Login-Dialog for QPE
5
6
7WHAT'S THIS:
8
9This small add-on for the Qtopia Environment (QPE - see
10http://qpe.sourceforge.net for further details) allows You to use your
11handheld computer running QPE and Linux with the typical Un*x user
12handling, i.e. just log in on a graphical environment, as e.g. KDM or
13XDM. This way your personal data can be easily protected against
14unwanted access from others in case you loose your machine.
15
16
17STATUS:
18
19Still in development, but should be useable.
20
21
22REQUIREMENTS:
23
24- QDM needs Linux-PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules for Linux) for
25 proper user validation.
26
27- the /dev/fb0 device has to writeable to everyone ;-(
28
29
30INSTALLATION:
31
32Per default this little add-on is not enabled. You have to do so
33yourself for now, by setting a compile option variable called
34QT_QWS_LOGIN . Furthermore there have to be made some changes in
35taskbar/taskbar.pro :
36
37At the section HEADERS insert a line:
38 ../login/qdmdialogimpl.h \
39
40At the section SOURCES insert a line:
41 ../login/qdmdialogimpl.cpp \
42
43 furthermore serte these lines:
44
45 INCLUDEPATH+= ../login
46 DEPENDPATH+= ../login
47
48 INTERFACES= ../login/qdmdialog.ui
49
50For unix-login make folloing changes to a line:
51 LIBS = -lqpe -lcrypt
52
53For PAM use the following:
54 LIBS = -lqpe -ldl -lpam
55
56
57
58CONFIGURATION:
59
60Configuration of the 'Look' of QDM is done via Qt Designer. Just open
61the .ui file and edit the look of the dialog as you like. You can, for
62instance, change the logo pixmap. QDM should also be ready for i18n so
63far.
64
65Other configuration stuff, eg welcome string in the upper right, and
66user list can be changed in the qdm_config.h file.
67
68
69USAGE:
70
71The QDM comes up, when the QPE is started, and if the QPE is started
72as 'root'. Being started as any other user, the uid couldn't be
73changed and the login dialog wouldn't be ofg much use.
