im trying the latest image of droid4 (20220410) but i dont get any display
<Evil_Bob>
i dd the image to the flash (as usual), do i maybe need to update some other parts. i notice there are many graphics changes
<Evil_Bob>
hmm nevermind maybe its a battery issue (havent used it for a long time). i'll try some things first, sorry for the noise
<l_bratch>

hehe
<Wizzup>
yeah so I sent out an email but for some reason mine didn't go through the ml
<Wizzup>
not sure if it's my setup or dyne

if i do 'emerge evince -av' on my gentoo, it lists
<noch>
libhandy as a dependency for evince now.
<noch>
so gnome is integrating libhandy.
<noch>
but probably such changes are in sid for debian/devuan.

Hi, I just dug out an old N800, and have discovered Leste, but all I'm seeing is N900 info. is there anything for the 800?

Hi everyone.
<akossh>
I am trying to use a XMLHttpRequest in the MicroB browser, but the javascript callback function assigned to onreadystatechange is never called.
<akossh>
Does anyone have an idea, how to make it work?
<akossh>
It works on all the other platforms, including Opera on the N900, except the stock browser (MicroB)
<akossh>
How did ajax work back then?
<sicelo>
Maybe you should take that to #maemo :-)
<akossh>
I got it now, it does not work with synchronous requests, but works if the request is asynchronous.
<noch>
Francos: unfortunately leste doesn't work on n800. i have n810, that's a very beautiful device, and i cannot use it because it has an old ssl library.
* sicelo
agrees that N810 is beautiful, even though he only saw it in pics

noch: Thanks for the response. I'll find some paper and weight it down with my N800. ^_^
<sicelo>
even if leste won't run on it, there's an N8x0 that was seeing kernel work recently. can't recall if it's the N800 or N810. meaning, even if it's not leste, a very light linux distro could still run on it :-)
<uvos>
you could probubly get some cli only or maybe tiling wm to work on it
<uvos>
omap2 has support in mainline (admittly recently it was found to not boot even on the referance platform but that was fixed again)
<uvos>
but yeah hildon/leste - no way
<uvos>
not at resonable speed
<Francos>
It still has Bomberman on it which is pretty cool. I'll keep it as is.

i'd like to have a modern linux on it. even if sxmo and pidgin.

i think there's a good chance for that :-)

fwiw, the other day i got phosh running on Nokia N900, without even hardware acceleration, and although i didn't use it much, it didn't seem too bad. at one point while at rest with no application open, it had 45MB ram in use
<sicelo>
when you have time, please have a look and tell me what you think. the idea is to get bq27200 to have *some* reasonable initial capacity value, which is quite important when you have a device that can't charge at all due to broken USB. in short, i'm using the WRTNAC register in bq27200 to write the capacity from rx51_battery
<sicelo>
the idea and solution not perfect (plus script is unfinished yet). if you think there's a way for this to be implemented in kernel itself, that'd be even better

would be interesting to see screenshots of phosh on n900.
<noch>
was it in landscape mode?
<noch>
but i have to say, maybe again, how i dislike phosh. because it takes screenshot of the window, like android.
<noch>
not like maemo. and when you navigate through the list of opened programs
<noch>
you see screenshots
<noch>
you don't see those are alive.
<noch>
you don't see something is happening inside.
<noch>
you see a screenshot of a terminal with top in it, top does not update.
<noch>
also usability wise it is not convenient to search a window like that.
<noch>
and it is not convenient to scroll among these windows to find
<noch>
the one you need
<noch>
in maemo it is very cool.
<noch>
you see all the opened windows
<noch>
and you see the updates in windows.
<sicelo>
yes
<sicelo>
but of all the modern mobile DEs, i'd say phosh is the one more closely related to maemo/hildon. some of the main people there are ex-maemo users/devs (and still own/use N900, at least once in a while)
<sicelo>
Pali: alright. i also found out about the WRTNAC only today while re-reading the datasheet. the script is working already, but i wanted to know if there are ways to improve it, or even if this the job of userspace or kernel. i think it's userspace because it's very N900 specific
<sicelo>
on idle it had about 110MB RAM in use :-)
<sicelo>
tbh, i didn't use it much ... that N900 touchscreen doesn't work properly
<sicelo>
noch: fun thing is - i didn't even use 3D acceleration. i wonder how it would have performed or felt if i had done so
<noch>
so gnome is possible to use withoet 3d acceleration? or you mean you didn't try some 3d things?
<noch>
was that pmos?
<noch>
i can try to boot a recent mainline from sdcard on n810 and uboot.
<noch>
but i don't know, i need to turn many things off in kernel to save memory, probably.
<sicelo>
yes pmos. honestly, i don't think gnome42 and phosh are worth one's time on N900 (and N810). it was mostly proof-of-concept (okay ... also i wanted to play phosh's feedbackd that seems very interesting)
<sicelo>
i think for N810, i3 makes the best sense ... you can tweak it to work well on a touchscreen device (at least at some point i had a nice thing going for sway on N900 with debian)
<sicelo>
i will get back to my sway config at some point (just want to work on N900 kernel a little bit more) ... currently running 5.18-rc3, yay

And... Tom was asking about USB DM...

Pali: I'm home in a few days, then I can do both. the usb dm was in the back of my head but it's not done yet :(

ok!
