[maemo-developers] Pressing two hardware buttons at the same time: possible to detect?
Hello, I tried to use the plus-hardware button together with cursor up (GDK_Up). I wanted to hold plus button while pressing GDK_Up. In this case, I only receive the key_press for plus_button. It seems, that while one button is pressed, no other press event is send. Is this correct, or is there a way, I can detect a second key pressed, while one key is holded down.

Re: [maemo-developers] Can Epiphany-browser be ported to Maemo ?
Yes it can. Some needed jobs to get epiphany ported : * mozilla engine would require some changes/optimizations to build/run on armel. ps: making it fast in a suitable end-user way requires even more hackings. * epiphany currently is so tied to gnome that such port would also require lots dependencies to be removed from the source base, and some features to be commented out, so on ... * a hildonized ui - the easiest part ... a good project, anyways On 1/19/07, Anuj Verma (Kevin) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Out of curiosity, I will love to know if Epiphany can be ported to Maemo platform for Nokia 770 N800 devices.

Re: [maemo-developers] Python for Maemo -- new version released
Osvaldo, the problem was indeed python2.5 2.5.0-1osso6 I got from mistral repository. After changing repository to 'scirocco' I got 0.4-3 version of python2.5-runtime instead of 0.4-2, and that fixed it. Now SDict Viewer seems to run fine on 2.5, except of one thing: gtk.set_application_name() is no longer there, I had to remove the line from the source code that used it, and now the app comes with incorrect title (defaults to the name of the executable file). gtk.set_application_name() was a problem before too: it was never documented and was not present in scratchbox version of runtime, but worked on the actual device...

Re: [maemo-developers] Improving Cairo performance on the N800
(resending this now that the mailing list is back up) On 1/16/07, Zeeshan Ali [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello! Now, the recently announced Nokia N800 is different from the 770 in various ways that are interesting for Cairo performance. I've got my eye on the ARMv6 SIMD instructions and the PowerVR MBX accelerator. Yeah! me too. The combined power of these two can make it possible to optimize a lot of nice free software out there for the N800 device. However! while former is fully documented and the documentation is available for general public, it doesn't have a lot to offer. ARMv6 SIMD only operate on 32-bit words and hence i find it unlikely that it can be used to optimize double fp emulation in contrast to the intel wirelesss MMX, which provides a big bunch of 128-bit (CORRECTME: or was it 64- bit?) SIMD instructions. OTOH, these few SIMD instructions can still be used to optimize a lot of code but would it be a good idea for cairo if you need to convert the operand values to ints and the result(s) back to float? No int - float conversion necessary. At this level, cairo uses ints exclusively. To clarify, the part of cairo I'm thinking could use the ARM SIMD is the pixman library which is almost an exact client-side mirror (copy, really) of the fb section of the X server. It's the part that implements the Porter-Duff operators in software. Floats are long out of the picture at this point. This misunderstanding is common due to wide-spread confusion regarding what role floating-point plays in cairo's internals. Most floats that arrive via an API call are converted into an integer type (e.g. fixed-point) early on. Cairo uses integer arithmetic for most of its internal computation. With that clarification, it should be no surprise that much of the recent FP optimizations in cairo was just a matter of speeding up conversions from floating point to an integer type. Anyway, I think the 32-bit ARM SIMD could possibly get us some speedup similar to how the existing MMX/SSE code has helped for x86 (for the curious ones, see fbmmx.c in cairo or xserver). And since the MMX/SSE code hasn't needed to drop down to raw assembly for to get a nice speedup (it uses intrinsics), your ARM SIMD intrinsics code is much appreciated.
