Restoring the layout takes time I would rather spend otherwise. Not really, but remember to lock the device when you e.g. put it into pocket or bag. N810 has separate lock button, on N800 you can press power key and then select[1] key to lock the keys+touchscreen, unlocking is done the same way. This will also save power because then the display doesn't unnecessarily lit up when the touchscreen or other keys are accidentally pressed in the pocket/bag. Disabling the applets that you don't need also helps (if you reboot after that, you will have minuscule amount of more memory available for apps too :)). -Eero [1] Select = the middle button in the 5-way rocker. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Re: Skype video?
Hey gang, moaning here on a n8xx mailing list won't get Skype on the n8xx. Please take your moaning to Skype... In the meantime -- use Gismo Project. As far as getting some leverage for Skype on the n8xx goes, when you contact Skype, tell them until they get Skype (and Skype video) on the n8xx, you'll be promoting moving yourself and all of your Skype friends to Gismo Project.

Do you know if it is possible to use wpa_supplicant (I realize I might have to port it myself), just wondering about driver compatibility. Otherwise, maybe something like gnome network manager to wrap it to get support for the BT DUN.

All, I am trying to install osip2 on my scratchbox environment but it wants libc =2.6.1 and I seems to have libc ==V2.5.0-osso7 Using libosip2-2_3.0.3-2-1_armel.deb Will upgrading libc6 cause my environment to break - seem to remember that this can cause issues on Intel linux. I note that. If anyone can assist in suggesting the most painless route I would be very gratefull.

Thanks to the above, I was able to flash the kernel with the MMC patches. For some reaon, i couldn't get it done with the Linux flasher, but I had no problem using the above to do it directly on the device. Thank you! If you have Kingston MMC 2GB card the 48MHz kernel should work and give you best performance. Part of my problem is that this might not be a real Kingston card. RS-MMC is pretty much non-existent in stores, so I purchased a Hong Kong special on eBay. On its own, it came back to a read/write state, but with only 1GB reporting. Then, I managed to put it back to read-only by downloading some mp3s to the card. I put it in my linux laptop, and reformatted the card. I think my command was: mkdosfs -c -F 32 /dev/[mmcdevice] this worked just fine, but again was only 1GB, not 2. I put it in my 770 (running the patched 4.2007.46-3) and it seemed to be working fine, but when gpodder had downloaded about 1/2 of 3 podcasts (average of 12MB each) gpodder quit because the card had gone read-only. So, now I have the behavior pre and post kernel patch. I am ready to blame the card, however, using a usb-based card reader, I was able to copy abotu 500MB of data to it last night, using both Linux and Windows. So, the best I can tell, I have a decently-working 1GB rs-mmc card. Until now, flash cards had just worked for me, so I am treading in unfamiliar water, and would appreciate any help or pointers you can give. Also, is there a way to force the format to 2GB? It might be interesting to try. thank you in advance, Kevin -- In Vino Veritas http://astroturfgarden.com signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
