Re: Xsp pixel-doubling solutions for Nokia 770?
> If new Xomap doesn't work on the 770, I'd like to know about it. (I > don't have time to constantly test it, but I can -- and will -- fix it.) I have found what triggers the Xsp disabling from SDL for IT 2005, 2006, and 2007 hacker ed. Doubling gets disabled whenever we update less than the full 320x240 screen. this breaks: SDL_UpdateRect (SDL_Video, updated.x, updated.y, updated.w, updated.h); this works: SDL_UpdateRect (SDL_Video, 0, 0, 320, 240); The same problem occurs in other SDL programs that do not update a full 320x240 screen each frame. I have prepared a simple SDL demo that illustrates this. It should be easier to understand and modify than the Ur-Quan Masters sources. Grab it here: http://pupnik.de/aliens-1.0.2_Nokia.tgz This contains a binary tgz for testing, as well as the source. Untar to home directory and use F6 button (top left on device) to toggle xsp doubling. To verify that updates outside of the doubled window are not affecting the doubling, change #define VIDWIN_X800 to #define VIDWIN_X640 and disable my onscreen buttons by commenting out these lines SDL_BlitSurface(buttonsurface,&buttsrc,screen,&buttdest); SDL_UpdateRect(screen, 0, 0, 0, 0); I would appreciate anyone interested in SDL and pixel doubling taking time to look it over. This is about as simple a 'real world' test case as you're going to get. Arnim Never miss an email again! Yahoo!

I agree the Planet needs still some tweaking to solve some details and work fine. Agreed also that the tablets are the default test case, a tough one compared to the average laptop or desktop computer. Said that, the maemo planet doesn't offer big differences in width and structure than other planets, starting with the original Planet GNOME. The average Wordpress / Blogger / etc post fits in the current planet. Examples of blog entries not fitting would be appreciated so we can agree whether it's the Planet's fault or just an excess of the blog author (who can do whatever she wants with her blog, true). Offer a full width of almost 800 pixels is not a warranty of usability either. In fact it is damn tough to read lines so wide. This is why many sites are offering fixed width at max 800px no matter that nowadays the screens can double that. Which is very useful for the tablets usability. I definitely would keep the hackergotchi. Not that sure about the navigation column, but not for the planet. It causes trouble as it is in other parts of the website like the deep pages of documentation. But perhaps it is just the behaviour of the navigation what needs to be fixed... There are sites like http://ruby-lang.org that do just great with a right column and fixed width. Perhaps what we need to do is keep the current template and work on the details to make it look and behave much better. btw you are invited to the discussion at the list where the web decisions are taken: Kill the vertical navigation? https://garage.maemo.org/pipermail/maemo2midgard-discussion/2007-May/000 131.html Quim ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
YouTube and Planet Maemo
Two somewhat non-developer topics: 1. YouTube playback has significantly worsened after the update, at least on my box. Now the videos cannot keep up with the audio and get way way out of sync quickly. Can anyone else verify this? 2. I really do appreciate the efforts to improve the quality of the maemo.org website: but planet.maemo.org is IMHO a major step backwards. The little speech bubbles essentially restrict the blog text to a predefined, very narrow, width. This width looks awful with large pictures and it makes the articles quite hard to read. Eliminating the goofy icon representing people talking, and getting rid of the wasteful navigation column, would more than double the available space for the columns on the N800, not to mention a large- screen web browser.

RE: A Pitch for making SAMBA Server a core part of the N800 OS
Hi, >Having SMB/CIFS _client_ functionality probably would be useful. fyi SAMBA is in the (now official) roadmap: http://maemo.org/intro/roadmap.html We need to provide more details about the features mentioned in this roadmap. Where to start? File a feature request [1} if you want more details about a specific featured listed there (as roadmap, I would expect the interested parties in the community to take on the features under Wishlist).

You wouldn't see half of the file flags ("executable" comes to mind) (at least
not like a normal human would expect to see them - as a check box with the text
"Executable").
The files you edit wouldn't work (mswindows uses different line endings).
Now of course you can use special windows apps (special editor, special file
manager), but then it's not easy anymore.
And my idea of an internet tablet somehow doesn't include it being a file
server ;-) Of course, you might see that differently.

Having SMB/CIFS _client_ functionality probably would be useful.
(Time to check whether the source of the file manager is available yet :-) - on
second thought, I have ssh access to all my machines, what's the point)
(Hmm, how about adding SFTP - or just a nice FUSE mount gui - to the file
manager? I wonder if I can)
cheers,
