(it would be nice if the terminal would e.g. show the current directory name in the window title though) Not very practical actually. If the screen updates (which if say I'm compiling remotely it's constantly doing) then as soon as the home widget pops up it closes and you can't use it. (in full screen mode) plus to do this also requires that you 1. close the keyboard 2. put away the stylus 3. change hand position and minimize the screen The above steps are not needed. 4. use home key open the list 5. change windows If you have the full screen finger keyboard open, you need to press Home key twice (first press closes FKBD), otherwise one Home key press is enough. 6. re-maximize This step is not needed either. This is what I think you don't understand. Using the thumkeyboard in Xterm is a royal problem. It just doesn't work right, period, because you can't use it and see/read the screen at the same time. Eh..? When you specifically invoke a full screen keyboard, it covers the whole screen...? No cut and paste, and heaven help you if you are doing e-macs or vi ... because... depending on the remote system it often causes problems in that data previously entered gets lost due to focus change. So your problem is actually with thumb keyboard instead of the tabs/windows issue? Please add a feature request about copy/paste support and bug about latter. - Eero PS. There's also a hack to use N800 as a keyboard for phone. One colleague says it beats T9... :-) ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Re: Noob Questions
My last question is I'm wondering if it's possible to setup DNS suffix? I don't want to type the long domain every time I try to go to a box on my company's network. This is a generic Linu networking question and you can accomplish that by adding your company's network domain into /etc/resolv.conf as: search company.com If you already have a search statement, just add the company.com to the end of the search path. Note that this might slow some initial host resolution. Regards, -Urivan A. Flores Saaib ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Noob Questions
Hi All, I just got my N810, and couldn't be happier with it. While everything is pretty user friendly and obvious, I was wondering if there is a user manual for OS2008. I just want to be sure I'm using all the shortcuts and features it has to offer. Another question is once I open rdesktop to my windows box, the tablet goes into full screen. How do I exit rdesktop to get back to the N810 desktop? The only way I know how is to turn it off and back on. My last question is I'm wondering if it's possible to setup DNS suffix? I don't want to type the long domain every time I try to go to a box on my company's network. Thanks for your help!

Re: libraries for running os2007 apps under os2008

Re: OS2008 on n800 - Nice Job
On Wednesday 28 November 2007 08:55, Eero Tamminen wrote: The main reason why OS2008 is faster than OS2007 is that kernel now supports Dynamic Voltage Frequency Scaling (DVFS). When only CPU is used, the frequency can be higher than in OS2007, when also DSP is used, it needs to be dropped to earlier speed (which transition was a real pain to get fast and reliable enough). When neither is needed, frequency can be dropped even lower which improves battery usage. Seems like really good work, the tablet is transformed. Congrats to all involved.

I'm not sure if I'll keep my BT headset or ask for a refund. On IRC I was told there was work done on it, I suggest adding a comment with your model and problem on the above bugzilla. Well, I've spend part of this afternoon at Mandriva office into fixing / enabling Audio bluetooth on Mandriva cooker and I've been successful into directing using ALSA output to headset (either in HSP or A2DP) or using gstreamer a2dp sink (from bluez-utils). Some dbus queries are needed to enable a2dp, which is why it can't work out of the box on IT2008. I'll do more test on n800 this week-end and report here. I haven't had time to test the dbus queries for A2DP, yet. However, my ISP has just give access to its private Wifi phone network (Freephonie), which allows to use any SIP client as a local home client. Of course, I tested my bluetooth headset and it is almost working fine : -when a call is ringing, you get notification in the headset and you can take the call. Unfortunately, audio is not routed correctly. You have to disconnect the headset (audio is routed back to n800) and reconnect the BT headset to get audio routed correctly. -if you take the call from n800 interface and connect the headset, audio is routed correctly to headset -n800 bluez doesn't seem to support the refuse call BT command or the recall last number BT command. So, it works and it could be improved. I'll open bug reports for the various issues. -- Frédéric Crozat ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
Disabling password on user certificate for Wifi
Hi, as I wrote in a previous post, my ISP (Free.fr) has just allow access to its private Wifi network dedicated to VoIP (called Freephonie.net) through EAP-TLS, with a set of certificate and public/private key. It works fine (you need to do some openssl magic to convert the certificate in pkcs12 format) but IT2008 is requiring a password to store user certificate. This is extremely frustrating since it requires typing this password each time you connect to the private Wifi network. And since this network is provided from a lot of DSL modem provided by this ISP (about 500 000 modems are already enabled in France), it doesn't allow to use always connected feature of IT2007/2008, while moving. Is there a way to disable the password for some user certificates ? PS : the nice consequence of accessing this private network, which doesn't use NAT, is a workaround to bug https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1699 (which is still prevent when not using the private network, ie when using NAT). -- Frédéric Crozat ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
