Re: [maemo-developers] RE: Boot to a different look?
You might want to keep the X layer and replace everything above (gtk, hildon, desktop) with other components. Perhaps the biggest challange is getting tablet-specific input methods to support those components.

Understood. My ADSL line was down for a good fortnight, and all I had was that and a Bluetooth keyboard. 'Twas good fun.

No clue and a quick search did not provide any info. Sorry I can't help here. Is the Powerbook the one setting up the WLAN network or is there an AP in between? If the Powerbook created the WLAN, does it run in ad-hoc or managed (access point) mode (e.g. the WLAN icon in the 770 is set according to the WLAN mode)? The Powerbook is setting up the WLAN (via Internet sharing-ON), no AP involved here. It does not create an ad-hoc mode WLAN but provides an AP that others connect to in managed mode. HTH, good luck, let me know if you need some more testing. Sebastian ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

I'll let the list know if it's planned to hit Sardine, since it's a pretty major change. I recently noticed that I'm not the only to use the 770 in place of a laptop. http://blog.russnelson.com/images/kif_4011.jpg At conferences it can be handy to use as a laptop replacement.Also when on vacation, it is useful to move photos off a digital camera and up to an Internet site. For these medium length tasks a mouse/keyboard is more productive (along with something to lift the 770 up to eye level, but thats a relatively simple problem to solve. ) Cheers -bob ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
RE: [maemo-developers] RE: Boot to a different look?
Thanks for all the suggestions. Yesterday, I was working on exactly what Tapani suggested. I am glad that I am going to the right direction. I adjusted the bootup script yesterday and was able to boot to any program I want. Now I will try making my own program that shows the icons. There is one issue that I encountered without the maemo-af-desktop. For example, once I minimized a program, I could not get the program back anymore without restart af-sb-init.sh. I may have to make all programs not minimized able and only exit able. I might also follow Michael's suggestion as an alternative solution if I am stuck. Thanks again!
