But it's not always a good idea, I think. People suggested Xournal should use this very same trick (the proximity sensor) to enable the panning. A sensor is a sensor, not a modifier. But yes, strictly speaking one can "force adapt" hardware features to do stuff it was not designed to do. -- anidel Sent from London, Eng, United Kingdom _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
