Firefox and NoScript on N900
All, I'm doing something stupid. :-) I got the maemo update installed this morning. I installed the newest firefox, and then added the noscript plugin. This is where I feel dumb. I can't for the life of me get to configure noscript. There _has_ to be some way to configure it other than about:config. If I press options, the button will sit there, depressed, and nothing happens. If I'm on a web page and click the noscript icon in the upper right corner, nothing happens. I've tried long-press, double-click, stylus, finger press, everything I can think of. Has anyone else seen this? How did you fix it? thx, Jason. ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

I took a closer look at the Python API, since it spells out what is returned... I could do GLL, maybe RMC, but I'm not sure I can create a proper GSV from it. :-( It would probably be better to write a small daemon that accesses liblocation and emulates a dumb serial gps, writing raw NMEA sentences to the psuedo serial port device. gpsd could then listen on that.

accessing N900 internal gps for console apps
All,
I've been digging around in circles for a few days trying to get this to
work. I've found the howto for the sysfs interface to 3D accelerometer,
so one down. Now, I'm working on the GPS.
With all of my previous work, I cross-compiled gpsd and had it listen to
/dev/ttyS{0,1}. Cross-compiling the debian way, while promising,
doesn't look like something I'll be picking up in a few hours. So what
are folks using to access the internal gps?
I've tried catting /dev/ttyS[0-3], without any indication that these are
hooked to a gps.
How is everyone else hitting this?
Once that's solved, any chance of finding the PPS?
thx,
Jason.

On your n810, go to http://www.gronmayer.com/it/index.php?lang=en&system=maemo4 and click on OS2008, then search for GPE. Click on the install icon for the repository that has GPE. After that go into application manager, browse installable apps and install all of the gpe apps. For syncing with Google calendare, try this: http://linuxuk.blogspot.com/2008/01/gpe-cal-to-windows-mobile-smart-phone.html 2. Not yet. There is a notes editor and a pdf viewer. OpenOffice is too big. 3. I think that the claws email client has templates. Search for claws on the gronmayer site. I've been using Palms for 5+ years. I am still trying to switch from my Palm m130 to my N800, but I've hit the following road blocks: 1. Getting GPE calendar to sync with my MS Exchange calendar is a challenge even for a linux veteran like myself. 2. GPE Calendar doesn't know how to use the built-in N800/810 wake-up feature so it can only alert you for appointments if it's on. The wake-up software is called "alarm" and can be used to wake-up the N800/810 at a certain time, even if it's off, but few if any apps use it. There is a command-line alarm program to set wakeup events that run a command. Don't get me wrong, I love my N800. It's just needs more software to truly realize it's full potential and that software still needs to be written. Thankfully, anyone with linux development experience can develop for the device. For now, I'm carrying my Palm, N800, and my Cellphone to work. I have a good start on a batman-like utility belt. I'll ditch my Palm once I get a decent Exchange calendar synchronization solution working. You could also try the Garnet VM which is a Palm emulator for the N800/N810, but it's a time-limited beta.

how to enable on-screen text input for N810
Hi, All Just bought a N810. I read through the manual and can not use the on-screen text input.

power button changed behaviour from Os2007 to OS2008 on N800
Hi there,
I upgraded my N800 from OS2007 to OS2008. Now the power button acts
differently. I used to be able to hold down the power button to shut
down, now holding the button dims the screen, but it undims after I
release the power button. I can still shutdown my N800, but I have to
pres the power button and then choose to "Power Off: or"Soft poweroff".
Is this normal behavior in OS2008?
BTW, what's the difference between the last two options when pressing
the power button ("soft power off" and "switch off")?

Keyboard-based navigation on N800 OS2007?
Hi, My bluetooth keyboard works well for taking notes for my N800 running OS2007, but I find it cumbersome to switch between the keyboard and pen input. My workflow goes like this: 1. I'm creating a note and I want to start Xterminal 2. I start Xterminal using the pen input 3. I have to use the pen/finger input two switch between the two apps. Are there keyboard accellerator keys for doing the following operations: * opening and choosing from the main menu of applications * switching between applications * navigating within microb, notes, and xterminal Is there improved keyboard navigation support in OS2008?

I bought a FrogPad (BT, Leftie, white) in February of '06. It worked well on IT/OS2005 with a reasonably stock Nokia 770, but was dangerously crashy on IT/OS2006 first edition (anything using BT HID would do it). My '770 is still running IT/OS2006 first edition (slacker!), so my FrogPad has been rather lonely.

RE: [maemo-users] Next revision of 770 hardware - any idea when it willbe available?
Coming from the x86 virtualization perspective... I'm pretty sure they're discussing ARM emulation on IA32/x86 (as in, during the development and testing phase), not IA/x86 emulation on ARM in the Maemo 2.0 Roadmap. :-) See here: http://maemo.org/platform/docs/tutorials/Maemo_tutorial.html "Things not yet part of Maemo SDK" and "Building for ARMEL" They already have a partial Type-III VMM implementation (via QEMU) but need to finish fleshing it out so you get a full runtime environment (like the older Palm platform emulators, and the current Windows Mobile 5.0 emulator) so you can mimic an entire device rather than specific app-run functionality. -JMills -- Jason Mills -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Portal Project Manager / Administrator VMTN Turner of Knobs and Pusher of Buttons -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of John B.
