Understandable and often unavoidable at the begininng. I took 10 mins
to get started installing it this evening before I'd to run for the
bus. But from what I can make out, I can't see why we could have
"profiles" for different hardware setups. Kind of what you have with
using Xephyr on x86 host. I guess I'll found out the problems when I
try and move from an x86 hosted setup to an x86 target.
You're the more lucky ones. With larger display there are only minor
cosmetic issues that really need fixing (like the status bar width and
TN height) - the rest should stretch pretty much naturally.
Changing the
font size might bring up more problems about hardcoded assumptions
about
line heights in pixels.
Yeah, GTK is good for that. I guess dealing with assumptions about
screen size as you mentioned would be a potential issue. As I said
above, my main area of non-understanding would be in how to get the
maemo environment running natively on the hardware. I guess
everything is setup to target the Nokia 770.
Once I get the Xephyr setup running (was almost there before I had to
leave today) I'll have a play with the screen sizes and see how it
works. Will be an interesting experiment.
