Sapwood helps with memory usage (images are shared between all clients & 16-bit instead of 32-bit) and screen drawing performance (16-bit images don't need coversion from 32-bit and they are tiled), not with startup time. > Below are the steps/logs > > /usr/local/lib/sapwood/sapwood-server & > (sapwood-server:1340): ** INFO: server started > > ** (sapwood-server:1340): DEBUG: filename: > '/usr/local/share/themes/Layte/gtk-2.0/layte-skey-bar.png' > ** (sapwood-server:1340): DEBUG: client removed > ** (sapwood-server:1340): DEBUG: pixmaps: 0 (0) > > > / # helloworld > > (helloworld:1341): sapwood-DEBUG: [0x55430] ref: refcnt = 2 > (helloworld:1341): sapwood-DEBUG: [0x559b0] unref: refcnt = 0 > (helloworld:1341): sapwood-DEBUG: [0x559b0] ref: refcnt = 2 > (helloworld:1341): sapwood-DEBUG: [0x55ba0] unref: refcnt = 0 > (helloworld:1341): sapwood-DEBUG: [0x5a8c8] ref: refcnt = 2 > (helloworld:1341): sapwood-DEBUG: [0x5a630] unref: refcnt = 0 > (helloworld:1341): sapwood-DEBUG: [0x5a9f8] ref: refcnt = 2 > (helloworld:1341): sapwood-DEBUG: [0x5a630] unref: refcnt = 0 > (helloworld:1341): sapwood-DEBUG: [0x5a1a8] ref: refcnt = 2 > (helloworld:1341): sapwood-DEBUG: [0x5ae70] unref: refcnt = 0 > (helloworld:1341): sapwood-DEBUG: [0x562a8] ref: refcnt = 2 > (helloworld:1341): sapwood-DEBUG: [0x5ae70] unref: refcnt = 0 > (helloworld:1341): sapwood-DEBUG: [0x589d8] ref: refcnt = 2 > (helloworld:1341): sapwood-DEBUG: [0x5ab58] unref: refcnt = 0 > (helloworld:1341): sapwood-DEBUG: [0x5ac38] ref: refcnt = 2 > (helloworld:1341): sapwood-DEBUG: [0x5af60] unref: refcnt = 0 - Eero ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

First I thought that this was impossible, but when I tested on Desktop machine just starting OO Writer 2.0, it took: - Dirty shared memory: 128 kB - Dirty private memory: 19568 kB - Clean private memory: 33724 kB i.e. "just" only a bit over 50MB RAM just to open an empty doc. (as a reference, the apps on N8x0 need normally 1/10 of this). After bootup there's something like 80MB available on device, depending on what Home applets you have enabled. I'm pretty sure you'd need swap to view any real documents with OO and the already slow OO would real crawl if it's swapping... OO layout might not leave much space to view the actual document either. If Abiword is not an option, I would suggest PDF export from OO and just reading the PDFs on the device. - Eero >> > Abiword has been ported and is in closed beta testing now.

Note that the device is not intended to be run normally in RD mode. Besides making your power key to work faster (so that your device may more easily boot by accident in your bag) it also disables some battery checks. > That really is a huge pain.

Personally I prefer just to install SSH (which asks for new root passwd) as I need that anyway and installing rest of the packages is so much nicer through ssh (apt-get install ). - Eero ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Nokia response
I posted a contact-us message to Nokia, regarding the new Music Store and this is the response: Dear Barry, Thank you for contacting Nokia Care. At this point, the Nokia Music Store is only compatible with Windows. You are right, it uses the Microsoft DRM system. I have passed this feedback to the relevant department. Please don't hesitate to contact us again if you have any further questions. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
