IRC log of #maemo for Sunday, 2007-11-04

Jaffatimelyx: Ah, of course. My Fair Lady.00:00
Jaffaand/or Pygma(e?)lion00:00
timelyxJaffa: for another one which some origins don't recognize, http://viper.haque.net/~timeless/blog/138/00:00
timelyxit's sad, i wrote that on friday, but when i showed it to a coworker, i realized that she wouldn't get it00:00
alteregoUgly XP theme.00:01
Jaffaalterego: meh, software's hackable. Hardware's cheap. Smaller than a Psion netBook. What's not to like?00:01
tigerttimelyx: well, you pretty much could expect that00:02
timelyxtigert: yeah sure00:02
tigerttimelyx: it was stretching waaaay too many cultural boundaries00:02
suihkulokkiJaffa: display resolution/dpi00:02
*** Deformati is now known as Deformative00:02
*** lmoura has quit IRC00:02
Jaffasuihkulokki: 800x480, 7" diagonal, IIRC.00:02
suihkulokkiother than that, very attractive00:02
timelyxbut it's easier for me to expect you not to recognize my fair lady00:02
tigerttimelyx: it made me realize we assume things too easily00:02
timelyxthan it is for me to realize that she wouldn't get it00:02
tigerttimelyx: havent read it00:02
* timelyx nods00:03
alteregoYeah00:03
*** bergie has joined #maemo00:03
timelyxwatch the movie00:03
alteregoThat resolution is a push.00:03
alteregoIf it was touch screen I'd stick maemo on it.00:03
Jaffaalterego: indeed. I believe you can get more usable info on a 7" 800x480 screen than you can on a 4" 800x480 screen, though.00:03
Jaffaalterego: I'd still be tempted to play with Hildon on it.00:03
alteregoI don't see how.00:03
alteregoYeah, Hildon would suit it fine.00:04
alteregoThat's what it's designed for after all ;)00:04
tigerttimelyx: I will watch that, if you watch this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048752/00:04
timelyxtigert: it's sad though, you'd think by now, i'd know better00:04
alteregoWould make a good device for those Ubuntu mobile kids.00:04
*** philipl has joined #maemo00:04
timelyxi mean, i have learned that people don't know translations for animals/vegetables00:04
* timelyx grumbles00:05
tigerttimelyx: for some vegetables or animals00:05
timelyxwell, i sort of know "don't bother asking a local: what's this fish?"00:05
tigerteveryone knows what an apple or orange is00:05
timelyxi'm lucky if they'll say "it's white"00:05
tigertpomegranate or such is harder already :)00:05
Jaffaalterego: the pixels are bigger so you don't need as many to form a recognisable glyph. See, for example, how much more info you can see on a Psion netBook's ~7" 640x480 screen than you can on an N800's 800x480 screen (without straining your eyes). Obviously, some people's eyesight is better than others, but...00:05
*** etrunko has quit IRC00:05
alteregoI think I'll wait to see what they do with it.00:05
tigertJaffa: yeah, design for physical size is what we've been pondering a lot lately00:06
alteregoMainly the new devices they're saying wil be released in April next year00:06
timelyxtigert:00:06
timelyxPlot Synopsis:00:06
timelyxThis plot synopsis is empty. Add a synopsis00:06
alteregoWith lower power CPU's which means they can remove the Fan.00:06
tigerttimelyx: war story00:06
alteregoThen I'd think about getting one.00:06
Jaffatigert: oh? intriguing.00:06
tigerttimelyx: its THE finnish WW II movie00:06
timelyxtigert: you have it? i'll watch, but if it isn't available in English, you get to translate :)00:06
tigerttimelyx: I would guess it is subtitled00:07
tigertthe dvd got to exist in somewhere00:07
tigertlets find one00:07
lopzre00:07
tigertJaffa: thats what ubuntu mobile needs to do too, if they want to support different devices and different screens00:07
tigertJaffa: and it is hard with pixmap theming :P00:07
* timelyx shoots our themers ;-)00:08
tigertthough I guess one could render the svg theme template to different size and transform the coordinates00:08
timelyxit's ok. you're so far down the line, i won't have ammo by the time i reach you :)00:08
tigertthat would be pretty interesting thing to try btw00:08
tigertto scale the whole ui in build time00:08
tigerttimelyx: hey, shoot Tommi :)00:08
tigerthe created it00:08
timelyxtigert: i think i'd run out of bullets if i started with maps00:09
tigertor was part of it, I am just trying to keep it running with michael00:09
tigertanyway00:09
tigertback to weekend :D00:09
alteregoKeep what running?00:09
timelyxtheming00:09
alteregoEesh, maemo theming is a mess :P00:09
timelyxalterego: that's on a good day00:09
alteregoHah00:09
tigerttimelyx: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGkctbhkGvE :)00:10
tigerttimelyx: no subtitles though, so it'll be gibberish for you00:10
timelyxok, you get to translate00:10
timelyxi'll buy the popcorn, dinner, drinks, whatever00:10
tigerthehe00:10
zerojaySounds like fun.00:10
tigertI mean, this youtube link00:10
tigertI am pretty sure the dvd has00:11
zerojaySend me the plane tickets. :)00:11
*** blassey has joined #maemo00:11
timelyxzerojay: i can offer a place to sleep, but tickets are moderately pricy00:11
* timelyx is still stinging from 2 days w/o credit00:11
alteregoFor instance, what on earth is with no expand/colapse indicators in the tree view?00:12
timelyxyou mean things that'd typically be +/- on some platforms?00:12
alteregoIt's annoying me now >:(00:12
alteregoWhat should be arrows in Gtk.00:12
alteregoWell, triangles.00:12
timelyxwe have them integrated into the icons00:12
timelyxit's a space thing00:12
alteregoO_o00:12
timelyxlook at the root device00:13
tigertalterego: forget trees anyway :P00:13
alteregoCan't you leave that choice to the application developers?00:13
timelyxor the documents folder if you have a folder in it00:13
tigerttoo small on the screen :(00:13
timelyxalterego: they're trying to kill trees00:13
timelyxand given how horribly slow they are00:13
alteregoWho're they?00:13
timelyxyou shouldn't use them ;-)00:13
tigertwell00:13
timelyxdesktop/ui engs00:13
* timelyx shrugs00:13
timelyxi can't give a list of names, that's probably a secret :)00:14
alteregoGot a better idea for displaying a tree?00:14
tigertgtktreeview is one insane widget00:14
tigertalterego: what app is this?00:14
timelyxwhat are you trying to show?00:14
alteregoI need something to display a DOM00:14
timelyxg-d00:14
tigerton the N800??00:14
alteregoObviously.00:14
tigertwtf are you doing?= :)00:14
timelyx1. install cairo00:14
Stalwartweb development i guess00:14
alteregoI'm writing an XML editor :P00:14
timelyx2. rotate the screen 90 degrees00:15
zerojayin ruby?00:15
tigertalterego: why do you want to edit xml on a handheld?00:15
alteregozerojay, naturally.00:15
alteregotigert, why wouldn't I?00:15
timelyxalterego: no one in their right mind would want to edit xml anywhere00:15
Stalwarttigert, you want him to install eclipse on n800? :D00:15
alteregoWell, that I can sympathise with ;)00:15
timelyxStalwart: will he port java for us first?00:16
timelyxsounds good to me00:16
Stalwarttimelyx, isn't it possible?00:16
zerojayNo, please.00:16
alteregoI'm developing in the maemo 4 SDK anyhow. So cairo is already here :P00:16
zerojayEclipse 5 days a week is enough for me as is.00:16
timelyxalterego: seriously, you want to use the screen that way, not the default way00:16
alteregoGod, I'm the ruby-maemo guy. I'm not going to touch Java :P00:16
alteregoScheme is my next goal ^_^00:16
alteregotimelyx, is that even possible with maemo?00:17
timelyxanything's possible w/ cairo00:17
timelyxbut you're basically drawing w/ cairo00:17
alteregoDoes maemo4 support it?00:17
timelyxfull screen, manual drawing00:17
alterego:/00:17
Stalwartanything is possible on zombo.com (c) #fedora00:17
timelyxmaemo1 supports full screen apps00:17
alteregoScrew that.00:17
alteregoI meant screen rotation. Which isn't what you're talkinga bout at all :P00:17
timelyxmaemo15 might support long displays00:17
Stalwart15? o.O00:18
timelyxor rotated, however you want to think about it00:18
timelyxexpect it to be ready by 203000:18
Stalwarti guess maemo15 will support neural connections :D00:18
alteregoHeh.00:18
alteregoWouldn't take me that long ..00:18
timelyxStalwart: frying them maybe00:18
Stalwartthen you'll be able to get zombo.com right in YOUR BRAIN00:18
Stalwarta thing to dream of00:19
timelyxalterego: actually rotation is wishlisted00:19
timelyxwith a lot of luck, prayers, and better hardware, it could be here in 10 years :)00:19
alteregoRubbish.00:19
alteregoYou could do it in a couple of months if you wanted to.00:19
tigertalterego: you could do a nice xml editor in the ipod ui way :)00:19
timelyxi'm a browser engineer, i couldn't :)00:19
tigertjust browse through the tree :)00:20
alteregoipod UI?00:20
alteregoI don't have an iPod.00:20
tigertie, finger-pressable menu structure without a real tree,00:20
timelyxbasically you only see one level at a time00:20
timelyxto go down, you go right00:20
timelyxto go up, you go left00:20
alteregoOh, a menu.00:20
_Monkeywell, a menu is on the keyboard00:20
tigertbut just press a node and it scrolls right to open the child :)00:20
tigertetc00:20
timelyx_Monkey forget menu00:20
_Monkeytimelyx: I forgot menu00:20
alteregoI think I'll do something similar to the media player in maemo.00:20
zerojay_Monkey: STFU00:20
_Monkeyzerojay: huh?00:20
Stalwartnot usable00:20
timelyx_Monkey menu is <reply>00:20
_MonkeyOK, timelyx.00:20
alteregoA menu with a path area at the top.00:20
timelyx_Monkey stfu is <reply> yes sir00:20
_MonkeyOK, timelyx.00:20
tigertthen on a leaf you could have "edit" etc :)00:20
alteregoKind of like: http://maemo.rubyx.co.uk00:21
zerojayfrom now on, I'm just going to make Monkey forget everything when it speaks.00:21
timelyxtigert: too bad you need to be able to edit non leafs00:21
*** bergie has quit IRC00:21
alteregoI like that path bar ..00:21
tigerttimelyx: perhaps it could have a small toolbar with few buttons00:21
tigertalterego: yeah, something like that site00:21
timelyxalterego: be warned00:21
timelyxxml node names can be fairly wide :)00:22
suihkulokkiI love how neither ipod nor ipod touch ui have absolutely no popup/transistent windows00:22
*** NickDe has joined #maemo00:22
tigertyou want to truncate with ellipsis ;D00:22
timelyxsuihkulokki: designed by people with common sense00:22
*** sx|lappy has joined #maemo00:22
timelyxthat's why we think different :)00:22
tigertalterego: the problem with most N800 apps is00:22
tigertthey are trying to be like on the desktop00:22
tigertbut the screen is way too small for that00:22
timelyxtigert: eh00:22
tigertand you get fooled by the resolution to think its bigger00:22
timelyxwe have more dialogs/info things than any desktop i've ever met00:23
tigerttimelyx: my point exactly :)00:23
timelyxit got worse w/ n81000:23
tigertand hey00:23
timelyxnamely map.00:23
* timelyx sighs00:23
alteregoI'm aware of the constraints :P00:23
tigertits a *mobile* device00:23
timelyxalterego: clearly the ui people weren't00:23
tigertwhat freaks me out a bit very often00:23
alteregoMaybe you're right.00:23
tigertis when people seem to just use it on their desk next to the laptop00:23
alteregoI should just use a jazzy menu syste,00:24
alterego~system.00:24
tigertand think its cool to make it work like their laptop00:24
timelyxtigert: we want to sell it as a replacement for laptops00:24
tigertbut its a fscking MOBILE device00:24
timelyxsomehow nokia managed to get a laptop award with it...00:24
* timelyx grumbles00:24
tigertno we dont00:24
alteregoI use it for internet.00:24
timelyxtigert: we = some manager above osso00:24
alteregod00:24
timelyxL(00:24
tigertthe fact its listed on amazon as top selling laptop is not a reason to think of it as one :D00:24
timelyx:)00:24
tigertsure, its a *computer* and not a phone, yeah yeah00:25
tigertbut it is a *mobile* thing00:25
timelyxtigert: people clearly didn't get that memo :(00:25
tigertyou dont really do the same things on a mobile device00:25
alteregoI use it for surfing, and IM00:25
zerojayIt's cut the amount of time I spend on my PC by about 60%. It's getting lonely.00:25
tigertyou go on the bus, you chat with a friend on IM00:25
alteregoIt's also my portable media player.00:25
tigertyou check directions to his home00:25
alteregoAnd email client.00:25

tigert:)00:26
timelyx_Monkey forget whatever00:26
_Monkeytimelyx: I forgot whatever00:26
timelyx_Monkey whatever is <reply>00:26
_MonkeyOK, timelyx.00:26
alteregoSometimes I have to hack through it.00:26
zerojayWould "forget *" work?00:26
tigertits fun for us, the geeks, to do things like this00:26
timelyxno00:26
zerojayDamn.00:26
tigertbut it really makes more sense to use it as a mobile communication tool00:26
timelyxzerojay: you can grep through logs00:26
timelyxit's easy to recognize when it learned something00:26
tigertI love the thing while I commute to work00:26
timelyxi've done that once or twice00:26
tigertsame thing applies to bluetooth keyboards and such00:27
timelyxyou can see me do it when all of a sudden i start telling it to forget things w/o context00:27
tigerttry to use those while standing in a train00:27
timelyxtigert: you must be confused00:27
timelyxi always sit on trains :)00:27
tigertbluetooth keyboard is teh insanity and should be just destroyed from the face of earth :)00:27
timelyxof course, then i just use my laptop :)00:28
tigerttimelyx: yeah but not on commuter trains I guess?00:28
zerojayThe best thing about my N800 is how I sometimes get e-mail and messages without having a phone connection... just happens to connect randomly to some wifi router in the area.00:28
timelyxif you mean subway/metro, maybe00:28
tigertzerojay: yeah :)00:28
timelyxbut if the commuter train takes longer than 20mins, i'm sitting00:28
tigerttimelyx: sure I usually sit00:29
tigertif there is space00:29
tigertbut I dont really use a laptop in the bus for example even when I sit00:29
alteregoHeh00:29
* timelyx ndos00:29
timelyxbah00:29
tigertit's like sending / getting sms'es00:29
timelyxanyway, on regional trains, i used to use my laptops00:29
tigertbut its jabber on the go00:29
tigertwhcih is nice00:29
*** pupnik_ has joined #maemo00:30
zerojayI was about 10 minutes away from home after leaving work early.. I got an MSN message from a coworker asking me how to commit to SVN. I told him to come to my desk. Boy was she ever fucking confused when she got there to see me not at my desk. I was sitting in a park laughing my ass off.00:30
tigerttimelyx: I rather not get those funny looks from people :)00:30
timelyxtigert: Amtrak from DC to NY00:30
zerojaytold her to come to my desk.. blah.00:30
timelyxyou don't get funny looks00:30
tigertzerojay: last week I was late from a meeting00:30
timelyxyou're in a car w/ a dozen or more other people doing the same thing00:30
tigerta coworked msged me with the same problem00:30
tigertwe were on our way to work00:30
tigertluckily he remembered the meeting room number00:30
tigertso I got it from him while on the go00:30
tigertand could go there directly00:30
tigertthat is what I mean00:31
timelyxsame along the SJ=>SF corridor00:31
tigertor seeing whats going on in IRC when going off work00:31
tigertto see if people are planning some beers etc00:31
tigertits all about communication for me00:31
alteregoOr panning your demise :P00:31
timelyxirc on our devices doesn't really work00:31
timelyxyou can't attach to a conversation already in progress w/o screen00:31
alteregoNo, I can't dig IRC on the tablets.00:31
tigerttimelyx: it TOTALLY does work00:32
timelyxand our behavior w/ screen is such a disaster00:32
tigertyou just want screen + irssi00:32
tigertand ssh00:32
timelyxi use that.00:32
alteregoIt's okay with pidgin ..00:32
timelyxit's a royal pain00:32
timelyxotoh, i use 770/n80000:32
timelyxand the stupid VKB keeps forcing full updates00:32
tigertI used it on N800 a lot00:32
timelyxbecause it pops up and then hides00:32
zerojayI was sitting in a nice little park near work on a hot day... my feet in a shallow waterpool, closing bugs while bitching to coworkers about how bad some of our testers can be.00:32
tigertuse thumb kbd00:32
timelyxand the screen constantly resizes00:32
zerojayWhat a great day.00:32
zerojayI love my N800.00:32
tigertzerojay: yeah :)00:33
alteregoIf I get another device I'll probably use it as a remote control for my N80000:33
timelyxzerojay: w/ the n810 you can use it while not in the shade :)00:33
timelyxor so the rumor goes00:33
tigertit's this "be wherever you want, but you are around" without hauling the laptop along -thing that is nice00:33
timelyxit was snowing today00:33
timelyxwe won't be able to test until may00:33
tigerttimelyx: haha00:33
alteregoN800 has oodles of storage capacity and makes a good media player. I'd use another tablet as a remote for it so it didn't have to come out of my trouser pocket.00:33
timelyxtigert: i keep saying it, but you know it's true00:33
zerojaytimelyx: and without a virtual keyboard either. My N800's got light circular marks from me using the virtual keyboard so much.00:34
tigertzerojay: yeah00:34
tigertin a grid00:34
timelyxzerojay: my 't' key is busted on my laptop00:34
zerojayStaggered grid, yep.00:34
alteregoMy screen protector is scratched to death :)00:34
zerojaytimelyx: Hehe. I remember.00:34
timelyxi was also among the first to really wear the n800 proto screens :)00:34
timelyxotoh, they claim that's "fixed"00:35
* timelyx still hasn't installed system software w/ that "fix"00:35
Robot101timelyx: it's pretty impressive difference actually00:35
timelyxthe fix supposedly makes web browsing (among other things) much more painful :)00:35
alteregoI think the scroll area is the worst for wear on my protector.00:35
zerojayEvery single scrach on my screen comes from the stylus.00:35
alteregoIt doesn't bother me enough to get a new one though.00:35
zerojayscratch00:35
alteregoYeah, those things are sharp .. :)00:35
timelyxRobot101: it wouldn't have to be a big change to be impressive00:36
*** Astro has joined #maemo00:36
timelyxRobot101: but it really does cause big problems for the web browser00:36
tigertI am loving the N810 keyboard though, no more resizing of THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD00:37

tigertand I lost a lot of weight so I couldnt keep it under "the flaps" either00:38
* timelyx thinks tigert's problem is that his place is too big, it has stairs! 00:38
zerojayHahahaha00:38

legindwhen trying to install kagu, I get this:  File "/usr/lib/kagu/remote.py", line 15, in remote /   os.mkfifo(FIFO)  #create fifo / OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory01:11
skiburyeah I know, but where are the updates coming from?01:11
legindany ideas?01:11
legindor, that's trying to *run* kagu.01:12
alteregoIt's typical really. I work really hard on getting ruby-maemo up and running so I can build cool apps for maemo in Ruby. And now it's at the stage where it's very usable I can't think of anything to create :/01:14
timelyxsee, you should have thought of that before you spent time porting/packaging something no one actually uses =b01:17
alterego:(01:18
alteregoThe porting took no time.01:18
alteregoIt was binding it to the various libraries that make Maemo that took the time :P01:18

alteregoHeh14:28
alteregoHello14:28
xadapcan I  ask a simple question?14:29
alteregoOnly if it really is simple ;)14:30
xadaphaha14:30
xadaplook14:30
xadaptomorrow i'll have a nokia 770 at home14:31
alteregoCool14:31
xadapi know its operating system is based on linux14:31
alteregoYes, debian Linux14:31
xadapbut since reviews say that it's quite poor, i wanted to improve it14:32
SLiGNU/Linux ;) </troll>14:32
xadapi've seen the maemo project14:32
xadapi'm sorry lol14:32
SLiWhat's poor?14:32
alteregoReviews have said what's poor?14:32
alteregoI thought the maemo reviews have been good ..14:32
xadapit looks like the software available when you acquire it14:32
alteregoOverall.14:32
xadapyeah,, the reviews about maemo are excellent14:33
alteregoYes, the software is somewhat limited.14:33
alteregoThere are some really good packages though ..14:33
xadapso, is maemo kind of another operating system, based on debian too?14:33
alteregoKind of yes.14:34
alteregoTargeted at embedded devices.14:34
xadapthat's what i was looking for,then14:34
SLiMm, it's not an another OS really.14:34
xadapso, do you know any tutorial that explains where to start when i get my nokia?14:34
SLiJust supplemental packages for the Nokia provided system.14:34
alteregoTry the tutorials on maemo.org :)14:35
SLiI have an N800 with OS2007, I must say the email client that came with it is useless, the RSS reader shows really often old stuff as new and crashes often, the browser crashes often, but other than those things, the system seems pretty solid.14:35
xadapon mameo website i've seen developing stuff :P14:35
alteregoHah14:35
alteregoYeah, I don't like the email or RSS client much either.14:35
alteregoThe browser doesn't crash too often for me.14:35
alteregoI have other issues with the browser.14:35
alteregoWell, what were you looking for?14:36
xadapa guide that explains what do i do after buying the device, from a user point of view14:36
SLiI consider it somewhat ironic that old stuff on the garage.maemo.org (which AFAIK is maintained by Nokia) RSS feed is nearly always displayed as new in Nokia's own RSS reader :P14:36
alteregoUse it?14:36
xadapi've only found developing documentation14:37
SLiWell, it's a pretty full-fledged Linux.14:37
xadapnot a manual about maemo14:37

alteregoAh, you can update the 770 to a newer OS if need be.14:38
xadapthat's what i want! :D14:39

alteregoI'll write a tutorial soon I promise :)17:23
L0c-|Mobile|i need also to learn ruby... so you have time ;)17:23
L0c-|Mobile|so i need to learn   ruby, than gtk, than learn about maemo ?17:25
alteregoYes, that would be a good way to go.17:25
alteregoThough Gtk/maemo can be learned in parallel.17:25
halleyI think the "download a project, learn to build it, then figure out what every file is FOR" route works best.  :)17:26
alteregoHeh17:26
alteregoCan't say I've ever taken that approach.17:27
halleyI've never learned a language by picking up the book and starting at page 1.17:27
alteregoNo, I can't say I've done that either.17:28
alteregoWell, actually.17:28
alteregoSICP ..17:28
halleyI gotta say, I learned a lot in electrical engineering when we implemented a microprocessor from discrete logic.  But after that, it's all "I want to do this, that thing almost does this, what can I tweak?" style learning.17:29
alteregoYeah, I'm a grounds up kind of guy.17:30
alteregoI don't tweak other peoples apps, but I'm happy to use their libraries.17:30
alteregoIn an ideal world MVC would make that very easy indeed :)17:30
alteregoPorting applications would be pretty simple and just require work building custom UI's.17:31
halleyI think mvc is overrated; model/interface is usually enough.17:31
halleySeparating view from controller tends to get in the way of natural interaction.17:31
alteregoWell, I disagree ..17:31
alteregoWhen a project gets big enough. If the view hasn't naturally decoupled itself from control logic then you're going to have problems.17:32
alteregoSure, they're very close. But a view should only hold internal logic. It should know anything about the actual application.17:32

gnarvaezhello. Anyone have information if the way BT keyboard input will be processed differently in 2008? I am considering starting to write a small applet to control some basic features, but would like to spend my effort on what will work in a couple of weeks22:03
milhouseI would expect a BT keyboard to function in OS 2008 the same as it does in OS 200722:04

gnarvaezif I am not mistaken, the BT handling is changing to BlueZ... I thought the BT stack was chaning and that the HID handling would be done through new libs....[of course, I can't remember at the moment the exact libraries]22:09
milhousethe BT stack already is BlueZ22:09
milhousealways has been as far as I'm aware22:09
alteregoWhat has metasploit got to do with Ruby?22:10

cbx33a cable adapter for networing22:13
alteregoWell, I could guess what it is. I just don't understand why you'd want to use all this junk with a tablet.22:13
alteregoIt's really not suited to network investigation at all ..22:13
cbx33because it's bloody portable22:13
halleyI've never heard of usb/rj45, but I've seen them used as usb-extenders.22:13
alteregoWell, for sure it's possible to get any USB device working.22:14
alteregoJust takes a bit of time and effort.22:14
halleyHe's looking not for rj45 per se, but ethernet too.22:14

halleygnarvaez, the new one?  The chicklet one or the clear tray one?22:35
gnarvaezthe problem I am finding is that the key repeat rate and delay are too short, thereby producing an unnaceptable amount of repeat errors. I am trying to find a way to control this, but to no avail so far22:35

gnarvaezalterego, I tried again setting the repeat to 900 (.9 sec?) and the delay to 1200 (1.2 sec) and I don't see a difference. Also I noticed that when I connect to the bt gps, the keyboard is practically unusable.22:59
alteregoOh well.22:59
gnarvaezanyway, thanks for the information.... I am trying to understand how the bt keyboard gets processed.... I should go back to the docs (a few days ago, in the middle of the night, after trying a number of things, I filed a bug on this, it is #2166)23:01

gnarvaezp| yes, the kbrd works without the gps, but the delay and repeat are on the edge (if I use a Nokia su-8w keyboard, or a stowaway, it is next to unusable, with an apple BT kbrd it is pretty tolerable. If I have the GPS connected at the same time, any kbrd becomes unstable to the point that is unusable, though the GPS works fine)23:34
