There is. It's their.
Difference is pike is using singular, you're using plural, Neil. Using
plural just seems like a quick hack to me, the real bugfix would be to
introduce a proper word for he/she, him/his, ... in the English

No we dont have a neutral gender in Spanish, but the Spanish for 'his' and
'her' is the same ('su') so we don't have that problem:
'his/her Freerunner' == 'su Freerunner'
As for English, I prefer 'their' rather than 'his/her'. I wonder how this issue
was solved in the past. Such a usual problem must have been solved centuries
ago in the English literature, no?
And yes, this is totally off-topic, and the where-can-I-meet-a-female topic is

Mer on Freerunner
Dear list: Has anyone installed Mer [1] on a Freerunner? I still have the SD card that came with my Freerunner (therefore 500 MB, I think). Is that enough to install Mer in it?

Freerunner, Qt Extended Improved, libswt issue
Hello, Sebastian.
yes, I tried -among other things- to install explicitly the jni package with no
success.
In one of the tests, I got an unsatisfied link error even though the .so
files needed were actually there. As if those .so files were useless.
In another test, one of the .so files was deleted (?) when trying to execute
the SWT-based application (even though I removed all the writing permission.
Amazing: there's a force stronger than linux permissions)
In the last tests, I got an error message that said something like no more
handles.
All this worked fine on OM 200X and on SHR
I thiought it would be too complicated to explain all those details, so I
prefered to re-shape my question:
Anybody got the SWT Sample application shown here [1] to work on Freerunner +
any of the Qt* distributions ('Qt Extended', 'Qt Extended Improved' or
'QtMoko')? (FYI: QtMoko seems to be a Debian distribution plus a Qt GUI)

You should have the package libswt3.4-gtk-jni installed. It contains the

I happened to be working with Dr. Marcelo Zuffo, a full professor and the head of the Laboratory for Integrated Systems at the University of São Paulo, Brazil, on an unrelated project. I asked Dr. Zuffo if the university would be willing to join the Openmoko community and to provide critical resources to the task at hand. I subsequently have met with Dr. Zuffo several times on this matter, have seen his facilities (which include a very modern and state-of-the-art SMT line) and have discussed the goals of the community to design and prototype a completely open design for a cellular phone. Dr. Zuffo and the university understand your issues, understand free and open source software and hardware and are willing to assist the community with this project. I might add that the university can bring several new capabilities to the community: First of all, Dr. Zuffo has discussed the Openmoko project with the Minister of Telecommunications of Brazil, and the Minister is very enthusiastic about the concept. Having the support of the government of the twelfth largest economy behind the project might really help us with various negotiations with vendors. Secondly the University has been working on several aspects of telecommunications for a long time, and therefore has expertise in telephonic security and codecs (among other things) that could be of use to the Openmoko community. Third, the university has the ability and expertise to design new integrated circuits. Recently they designed a a range of analog-digital chips. Therefore the possibility of developing, manufacturing and freely licensing new chips to help reduce the cost of the phone is possible. Forth, while the facilities I mentioned are capable of producing up to 10,000 units at the rate of one circuit board every 30 seconds, the purpose of the facilities is research, developing and support projects that can lead innovation, the lab's charter does not allow them to manufacture more units then the 10,000 because that would be commercial production. Therefore the university has a goal of freely licensing the design to companies for manufacture. Fifth, the university would be happy to host the mailing lists and forums of the Openmoko project. If some of the software projects need hosting and can not find hosting services other places, the university

opkg - question
Dear list, I have seen a strange behavior in opkg. The context is this: A certain repository (listed in the FR's conf files) has these versions of 'package': package.0.1.ipk package.0.3.ipk Somewhere else in the internet (not a repository) this file is available: http://mypage.org/package.0.2.ipk And I type in the Freerunner: opkg install http://mypage.org/package.0.2.ipk And the package that gets installed is package.0.3.ipk !!

RE: Graphics Performance
Dear list, I was told that one of the Qt distributions has a significantly better graphic performance. Can anyone confirm this? Which distribution is it exactly? Besides, the Java entry in the distributions table says '??' for Qt. Anyone knows about the Java support in those (hopefully) faster Qt distros? Regards Juan Lucas In my case, one of the motivations for looking into the FR was the VGA graphics capability. Any old phone would do for QVGA level performance. As for the ferrari analogy, as far as graphics performance goes, it looks like the Apple produces and their competitors make the FR look like the poor cousin, which to me means that it does not have far to go as a phone of the future. Its just an interesting little gadget for hobbyists. Makes me wonder what the designers were thinking. For non-graphics intensive applications, however, the FR is quite adequate in VGA mode. ri...@happyleptic.org wrote: -[ Fri, Apr 03, 2009 at 09:45:37AM +0200, Miguel Ángel Calderón ] What really surprises me is the fact that if this is so clear, why is Comunity not working on qvga graphics yet?

As the system freezes after some time whenever i turnd the gps on. The problem was not there with the qtopia image may be because the driver for gps is not there in qtopia (I'm not very sure about this). I'v just installed the 2008.8 image and the phone freezes whenever i turned the gps on. With in few seconds the screen freezes and nothing works till i remove the battery. Is any one having same symptoms? What can be the problem? Last time I've used Xglamo based distros I had this too. As I said in the other thread, imho the problem is only due to Glamo and/or Xglamo since using Xfbdev workarounds it (remove xglamo and install xfbdev instead, no more freezes!).

Hello, Matthias. Thanks for that Spanish keyboard. I have no idea why you have that strange behavior. The only differences I see between your new row at the top and the other rows are: - it does not begin at x = 0, - it does not reach the right border of the keyboard - it does not follow the honeycomb model: http://w3.antd.nist.gov/wctg/netanal/honeycomb.gif I would copy one of the existing rows (for example [TAB] Q W E R T Y ... ) and then set the y coordinate value to zero and see what happens.

Hola. This table: http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/X11/keysyms.txt shows a numeric value to the right. Perhaps the keyboard description accepts that too? Like this: normal ¿ 0x0bf Nice Cuban blog, by the way.

Hola, I followed your hint and copied over the [TAB] Q W E R T Y ... as first row (changing the y coordinate to zero) and it works fine, in 'normal' and 'caps' mode, as you may see here: http://www.sisis.de/~guru/OMkbd/Screenshot-23.png Then I changed the chars to the Spanish tilde chars, for example: key 45 0 30 30 normal ¿ questiondown shift? question capslock ? question key 75 0 30 30 normal á aacute shiftÁ Aacute capslock Á Aacute and so on, letting there the remainin chars, as you see in http://www.sisis.de/~guru/OMkbd/Screenshot-24.png as before, the 'normal' keyes are working as they should, the 'caps' keyes give wrong result; if one only HUP the 'enlightenment' processes, the result is more or less random, if one starts the Xserver new, the result stays in the small letter; I think there is a bug in interpreting the file (or the values like 'Eacute', ...), and for the moment we have to live with letras minúsculas (small letters) only for the moment; matthias -- Matthias Apitz Manager Technical Support - OCLC GmbH Gruenwalder Weg 28g - 82041 Oberhaching - Germany t +49-89-61308 351 - f +49-89-61308 399 - m +49-170-4527211 e matthias.ap...@oclc.org - w http://www.oclc.org/ http://www.UnixArea.de/ b http://gurucubano.blogspot.com/ SPAMer of the year: Subject: Alle Software ist Deutsche Sprachen From: -40 % die Neujahrsaktion gabriellekel...@grungecafe.com ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Optimization, 2008.x, Jalimo issues

Note, that relatively simple GTK apps, such as TangoGPS work without issue. We're running a complex GTK app: http://gvsigmobileonopenmoko.wordpress.com/ It works perfectly on 2007.2, but on 2008.x releases it suffers from multiple problems; layouting and stability seem to the big ones. It is improved when running on the latest testing release, but still not up to the standard of GTK applications on 2007.2. We were promised that we wouldn't need to worry about Openmoko moving away from GTK as the latest releases would still run GTK applications. However performance is clearly below an acceptable level. Yes, please file bugs. Please also attach the versions of cairo, gtk+, glib, pango from Om2007.2 and Om2008.8. Did you try to use a different theme engine? Is that changing the performance? z. Hi, Holger, all Joseph and I are collaborating to get this Java GIS application to run on Openmoko. We regularly update/upgrade from: http://downloads.openmoko.org/daily/testing/ http://downloads.openmoko.org/daily/testing/ We are currently using the java.awt package for the GUI and are having a few issues than we didn't see with Om 2007.2. We are drawing our map on a java.awt.Panel which is something we cannot change easily, but I think we can replace the other controls (buttons, dialogs, labels, etc.) with the Eclipse swt widgets and keep this awt panel for the map (embedded). Also we are going to test JamVM instead of cacao. We'll let you know how it goes.
