Seems to work after:
1) dsmetool -k /usr/bin/hildon-desktop
2) xev &
3) tap on the xev window
Or you could device a diabolical utility program that calls
XSetInputFocus for the xev window...

In principle yes - by using "include" in the xkb_keymap description. See "setxkbmap -print" for a starting point. Actually I have a keymap editor in the works (at home) which would let you do this through a UI. Shouldn't take more than a couple of evenings to make an alpha release. Likely not going to be the next couple of evenings in the calendar though. --Juha (N900 posting, broken thread and formatting, sorry) ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

hildon-desktop does not ever grab the keyboard. It only grabs some
specific key combinations, such as that ctrl+backspace.

Re: Mapping the N900 keyboard?
I am still hoping for some more help with remapping the N900 keyboard (see
quoted message below).
I have come across a problem I believe is related, and it is much more
urgent for me to identify and fix the problem.
When I start a nested Xephyr X Server on the N900, the desktop environment
that I run in that X Server (LXDE, on DISPLAY :1) does not seem to have
access to the keyboard. No keyboard presses are passed to DISPLAY :1 at all.
When I press the key combination to get to the Dashboard (CTRL-Backspace), I
am taken to the Dashboard, which suggests that maybe Hildon desktop is not
"letting go" of the keyboard.
I have tried using xkbcomp as described below to copy the keyboard mapping
to display :1, but it doesn't help.
Any help or suggestions?

Re: Flash in MicroB on N900: Hardware acceleration?
My impression is that the current Adobe Flash is not hardware accelerated, but Flash 10 (available in 2010) will be. See this Adobe press release for more details: http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/pressroom/pressreleases/200811/111708ARMAdobeFlash.html I might be wrong. I hope I'm right, however, because Flash performance on the N900 isn't terribly good.

Flash in MicroB on N900: Hardware acceleration?
Still running with 2009.41-10, I'm unsure if the flash player is hardware accelerated or not. In the context menu of Flash player, under Settings>Display (first tab from the left), there is one (selected) item called "Enable hardware acceleration". This looks good. OTOH, I'm asking this because the perfomance of Google Streetview in my maeMaps Google Maps webapp seems relatively slow when changing views to the left and right (especially after I've seen "native" Streetview running on a HTC phone :-). In addition, flash games that are slightly advanced seem slow, too. I'm aware that in both contexts, I have fullscreen flash. But still - the device is quite snappy in all other tasks I'm throwing at it, just flash seems a tad too slow in comparison. Anyone with other experience / insider knowhow?

Re: Mediaplayer/GStreamer/Tracker: adding new file types?
Unfortunatley, I'm running into two issues with these solutions:
1. After registering the MIME type, it still doesn't show up. Probably because
of http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24690 (".ts files are
incorrectly detected as "application/x-linguist" not "video/MP2T")
2. playbin2 doesn't seem to choose the "best" pipeline for playing these .ts
files. I get better results (more fluid video) building simple pipelines myself.
I guess I could resolve the freedesktop bug on my machine for me and now, but
if someone with a freedesktop bugzilla account could vote for that bug, I'd be
happy :-)
Any ideas about issue 2?
Thanks for all the info - I just LOVE the framework that Maemo 5 offers!

To index the files try this (the example is for matroska): http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=358304&postcount=30 And if you have installed the necessary gstreamer module to play the files, I think that the mediaplayer should be smart enough to use that module.

I have asked Nokia and they are not willing to release the documentation for the CSD services. Their reasons include supportability (the interfaces may change) and that they are trying to push oFono as the right long term solution (although it isn't here yet). However, many of the CSD services can be discovered using various DBus tools. I have made a start on that and have put the information I have worked out so far in the Wiki of one of my garage projects. You can see this at: https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/wiki/index.php?CSD%20programming%20information&id=1106&type=g You will also find in there some hints on how to find out about the interfaces and a script I have been playing with to test various of the interfaces. Be aware that neither I nor Nokia take anyresponsibility for any strange effects you have on your device or your SIM using this! I may move it to the maemo.org Wiki at some point, but I was waiting until I had got more info and done more testing (including understanding if some things had bad effects!). If anyone wants to contribute, let me know and I can add you to the project. If you want to see how these can be used, you can look at the code in the garage project: https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/?root=call-forward Graham ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
