When the user charges their dead tablet, they can look at the history of usage and find out that it was that new whiz bang extras program that consumed 80% of the last battery charge. I think this is a great idea! Some of the code may already be there. Gnome has this power manager which can show the battery usage quite nicely in a graph - may be adoptable. The benefit of this would be that the user can decide if (s)he wants the feature X or not. Not just to locate programs that use a lot of juice - but to sort out programs to not leave running on background while on battery just because you can - for example...

Re: Why Maemo Gtalk client doesn't work with Google Gtalk video?
Hi Andrea, On Sun, 2008-11-16 at 17:22 +0100, Andrea Grandi wrote: We have a very nice GTalk client for Maemo. It supports audio/video call between two Maemo devices. It uses open standards, just like Google GTalk. BUT they cannot make audio/video call together :( This should work of course. However there was a problem at some point - I think it was rfcomm - which introduced new codecs and somehow the connection to gtalk wasn't working anymore. Same problem could have been with ogg support. I find this very frustrating! Why someone doesn't work on integration/compatibility? What are the problems that don't allow us to have this functionality? I'm not in a position to fix this, however I may be able to verify it. Don't have windows right now, so I can't test with Google's client. However I have called from the N810 to my Linux Machine running Empathy and audio works. Video does not because the Webcam on my Linux Machine is not set up, yet. So when enabling video empathy hangs up. In general it works and it should work of course with google's gtalk client.

Using OpenVPN over wifi (was: Re: WLAN Horrible Roaming Performance (N800, OS2008), Software or Hardware Problem ?)
Hi, on Roaming: I have quite good experience with roaming when using unencrypted wifi and securing it with OpenVPN. In this setup you have your access point connected to a firewall (with OpenVPN installed) and do encryption from wifi device to the OpenVPN enabled firewall instead of to the AP. What encryption settings? It makes a difference here. So here my short hint to people who use an unencrypted AP and have OpenVPN set up to secure the communication of their own devices. Do not use OpenVPN over TCP for the reasons Kalle already mentioned. TCP thinks that paket loss is a) a faulty connection b) bandwith is exceeded So TCP will slow down the connection to a minimum and raise the speed slowly until there are errors. TCP is good for wire networks but does not perform that well in wifi networks in the default setup. So if you use UDP for you OpenVPN there is no TCP messing with your connection and due to the UDP Protocol OpenVPN needs to handle the retransmissions which it does quite well :) I get about 20 to 30 Mbit (802.11g) throughput when using OpenVPN over UDP instead of about 5 Mbit throughput when using OpenVPN over TCP (this is measured using nload on my laptop when down and uploading files from/to my samba fileserver) Why not use WPA? Cheap access point to not allow for virtual APs So you can't have WPA for your devices and still offer free unecrypted access to the internet for anyone else. Why connecting the APs to the Firewall and not to the internal network? On the Firewall you can block all traffic from the wifi devices to your internal network and allow it if they are connected by openvpn. You still could allow non-openvpn devices to connect to the outside world (internet) but not to your hosts. HTH somebody :-) cya, Michael PS. I have read VNC many times already, in most cases I wonder why not using FreeNX for that?! Has anyone ported the client, yet? signature.asc Description: Dies ist ein digital signierter Nachrichtenteil ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
Re: SDL, tearing, X overhead and direct framebuffer gfx
Hi, sorry can't say much about the other things... Q: btw - how can I shutdown Maemo Launcher/Hildon/Matchbox/Xomap? Whenever I do one of /etc/init.d/maemo-launcher stop /etc/init.d/x-server stop the device will automatically reboot. There is a watchdog in place. I believe you can disable it with the flasher utility...
