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

But this has been rectified, and future relase etc. Any idea if this will hit Sardine soon, or is Carlos a better person to ask? I don't have any immediate plans, sorry. 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

Just hooking up a usb mouse doesn't appear to work. I believe this is because the X server is tweaked out to work with the touch screen and compatibility with a mouse (like showing a cursor to report it's position) wasnt considered important. ... You can see the cursor if you remove the symbolic link /home/user/.icons. (But that is where my knowledge ends and X geniuses need to step in.) Yep, we are using a 'invisible cursor theme' for Gtk, it is used instead of X defaults. You can remove link, or if you want to use own cursorimage instead of invisible one you can simply copy it to '/usr/share/icons/xcursor-transparent/cursors/transp'. The reason for using this theme is that cursor icon is used for taphold animation, therefore we actually still have cursor (would be also possible to hide completely from X server by disabling driver funcs implementing that).
