Default Citipack keyboard conflict with IRDA
I have an XDA 1
ROM 4.00.11 ENG
Radio 4.21.00

I use a citipack keyboard and for a long time had a problem when I tried to enable the keyboard as it reported that the COM port was in use.

This weekend I finally managed to workout that it was trying to use the same COM port as the IRDA. Unchecking the receive all incomeing beams resolves this. Does anyone know how I can make the keyboard use a different COM port so that I do not have this conflict

I dont think so, it is exactly the same problem that arises when using gps, it also wants Com1, also I never found a way of using gps if beams was turned on, or if a keyboard driver was present.

Default XDA II and Citipack Keyboard
G'day Guys,

Firstly, I think you can use the Resco Registry editior to jump into the "COMM" area and change the allocated COM ports.. Just a guess.
(Make sure you take careful note of the ports you're changing so that you can return unsuccessful attempts back to default settings - Or you'll wind up needing a hard reset!)

Secondly, has ANYONE found an IR keyboard driver that works on the XDA II / iMATE?

Cheers
Andy
