javispedroif you every use samba as server on a tablet, ensure you don't get selected as the domain local master.00:08
javispedroor watch your battery burn.00:08
javispedrowell, with smb your battery will burn either way, but still.00:08

pupnikcursor keys win over n810 dpad, handily :)  good job there, nokia00:44
javispedrothey do?00:44
javispedrothat's nice to hear.00:44
jaempupnik, definitely00:44
pupnikfor me00:44
jaemthe keyboard is pretty nice once you get used to it00:44
* javispedro wonders how they'll do playing mario kart00:44
CoreFusion-i don't like the dpad on N810...00:44
LiraNunahow's the battery life?00:45
CoreFusion-the center button is too big00:45
jaemmy main annoyance is that there are two buttons under the space key - it's probably necessary, but it always throws me off when touch-typing00:45
*** millenomi has quit IRC00:45
jaemLiraNuna, should get you through a day00:45
javispedroouch00:45
LiraNuna"horrible" eh00:45
pupnikbuttons under the space key?00:45
jaemI use it quite heavily, the more so because it's new and shiny, and lasts me about a day - also, it's prerelease, so the retail units may be better00:45
* javispedro sees that only animation actors and remote textures are scaled00:46
javispedroso I'd need to create a new window from SDL... though.00:46
jaempupnik, two actual switches00:46
LiraNunajaem, oh right, some stuff are disabled aren't they?00:46
jaemsometimes it will feel like it's doubleclicked00:46
jaemLiraNuna, not sure00:46
javispedrothis needs more though.00:46
LiraNunaI've heard BT is disabled00:46
jaemLiraNuna, not with mine00:46
LiraNuna(on the preview units)00:46
jaemit's a later model00:46
LiraNunaI see00:46
GeneralAntillesLiraNuna, really early protos.00:46
jaemkeep in mind, though, that I use it heavily, and that it is a computer00:46
pupnikbt works here mostly00:46
LiraNunaGeneralAntilles, I didn't know it changed00:46
GeneralAntillesLiraNuna, most of the bloggers you've seen have gotten them in very roundabout ways.00:47
GeneralAntillesLiraNuna, and their units are REALLY early.00:47
LiraNunaI see00:47
LiraNunawas it software issue?00:47
GeneralAntillesHardware, AFAIK00:47
LiraNunaah00:47
GeneralAntillesA lot of them have 16GB, too.00:47
LiraNunaah yes00:47
LiraNunaI recall that too00:47
CoreFusion-But that doesn't matter now :)00:47
GeneralAntillesMines from around September and its hardware mostly matches retail.00:47
*** jayabharath has left #maemo00:47
jaemGeneralAntilles, mine was borrowed from Nokia at Dev Days, for a project00:48
LiraNunahow about software? can I get a uname -a? :D00:48
*** SmilyOrg has quit IRC00:48
jaemLiraNuna, one sec00:48
GeneralAntillesLinux Nokia-N900-42-11 2.6.28-omap1 #1 PREEMPT Wed Oct 28 15:32:55 EET 2009 armv7l unknown00:49
pupnikwell no need to buy a n900 for performance in sdl games00:49
LiraNuna.28?00:49
pupnikslower than n80000:49
*** brolin has quit IRC00:49
* pupnik salutes00:49
jaemLinux Jelena 2.6.28-omap1 #1 PREEMPT [date] armv7l unknown00:49
jaemsame00:49
javispedropupnik: not surprised (compositor, pulseaudio, ...)00:49
LiraNunaI thought they're gonna use .3100:49
jaemLiraNuna, yes - at least it's fairly recent now00:49
GeneralAntillespupnik, seems like there were some performance fixes in the pipeline.00:50
LiraNuna.28 has a lot of performance regressions00:50
pupnikim going to imagination forums someday with a cart full of trout00:50
pupnikah nice00:50
LiraNuna.27-.29 to be exact00:50
javispedrowell the kernel version is probably not going to change for the whole of the n900 lifetime.00:51
javispedrounless you consider m6 plans..00:51
Flandryslower than N800? oO00:51
* pupnik sad00:51
*** trbs has quit IRC00:51
*** lcukn900 has joined #maemo00:51
pupnikflandry, i can give you patch to make uqm update fullscreen00:51
pupnikbut what for00:52
LiraNuna<pupnik> slower than n80000:52
LiraNunajoke?00:52
Flandrywhy would we want to update fullscreen?00:52
pupniklook at that 'top' output under drnoksnes guys00:52
LiraNunaI thought there's HW accel now00:52
GeneralAntillesLiraNuna, specifically for SDL. :)00:52
LiraNunaah00:52
pupniklira comparing now00:52
javispedropupnik: warning, warning. remember drnoksnes on n900 uses sw scaling.00:52
LiraNunaso SDL does not use HW accel I take it?00:52
GeneralAntillesLiraNuna, and, like I said, I think there are performance fixes in the pipeline.00:53
Flandryno00:53
LiraNunafigures00:53
Flandryafaik no hardware acceleration of anything00:53
LiraNunabut "slower" would still be weird00:53
GeneralAntillesThere's an SDL OpenGL bug on bugzilla.00:53
javispedropupnik: use "none" scaler00:53
LiraNunaas 400MHz -> 600MHz is significant00:53
javispedroOpenGL doesn't help for putting 2D images00:53
LiraNunaespecially on ARM00:53
* LiraNuna wants OpenVG00:53
javispedrowell it's not much significant when the bottleneck is memory bandwidth.00:54
LiraNunaoh, so it's bandwidth problem, not rendering speed00:54
javispedroyeah. we're talking about 2d here.00:54
javispedroputting pixels to screen.00:54
LiraNunaright00:54
CShadowRunWasn't the N900 supposed to be in shops yesterday?00:55
Flandrystill, wouldn't using a OGL surface for SDL speed that up?00:55
javispedrono, why?00:55
LiraNunaI thought it's 30th Nov00:55
javispedroopengl is not designed for "putting pixels to screen"00:55
CShadowRuni heard 16th, but meh ok :P00:55
LiraNunaI might be wrong too00:55
LiraNunaI mean, that's what newegg says -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E1687520517800:56
Flandryi guess i'm thinking of a device with video RAM00:56
*** lcukn900 has quit IRC00:56
ShadowJKStill, lcuk manages to push lots more pixels to screen on n900? :)00:56
javispedroyeah, he uses xv.00:56
CShadowRunwikipedia says it was released on 11th november :S00:56
Flandryit *would* be faster for scaling00:56
Flandryright?00:56
pupnikk i was wrong, n900 faster - n8110 hd disabled accurate gfx00:56
CShadowRunI went into a vodafone shop today and asked about the release date, they tried to sell me an Xperia X1, i was like :|00:57
javispedropupnik: accurate gfx having such an impact? which rom you're testing?00:57
CShadowRunAnd i chuckled when they said Windows CE00:57
pupnikn900 1 fps faster - ct00:57
Flandrylol00:57
LiraNunalmao00:57
CShadowRunThey told me it was just as capable00:57
CShadowRunxD00:57
jaemCShadowRun, ha!  were they just trying to sell you something else, or were they being stupid?00:57
javispedroct... this reminds me of the mode5 borders bug. baaah00:57
CShadowRunjaem, just trying to sell me something else, they apparently arn't going to be offering the N900 on contract00:58
LiraNunamode5 border bug? GBA?00:58
CShadowRunThey also told me the N97 mini was the same as the N90000:58
jaemum...00:58
javispedroLiraNuna: SNES00:58
CShadowRunyea...00:58
pupniklets just have sdl HW surface be something accelerated and non composited00:58
LiraNunaGBA inherited that 'bug' as well00:58
pupnikpls?00:58
pupnikir i will wind up the whine siren here00:59
LiraNunaMODE5 - double buffered framebuffer 128x96 px 16bit00:59
*** kynky has quit IRC00:59
javispedroLiraNuna: what you mean by GBA? snezzy or other snes emus on gba? or actual gba hw?00:59
LiraNunaactual GBA HW00:59
javispedrooh.01:00
javispedronever read of it :P01:00
Flandrywell what does an "accelerated" HW surface mean in SDL then in N900 context01:00
javispedroin SDL means little.01:00
pupniksomething where i blit 400x240 and fill screen without software scaling01:00
javispedroI mean, in current SDL on N900.01:00
pupnikand wiithout copying unnexessary data01:00
*** simula_ has quit IRC01:01
Flandrybecause memory bandwidth is the limiter, right01:01
Flandryand there's no VRAM01:01
javispedrono, because it does not do nothing :)01:01
pupnikthat is the damn proble  description01:01
javispedroexactly :)01:01
LiraNunano texture cache?01:01
*** gnuton is now known as GNUton-BNC01:02
LiraNunaI thought it's OGL ES 2.0, no shader support to scale?01:02
javispedrosetting SDL_HWSURFACE does nothing, that's what I mean.01:02
javispedrobecause ... nothing's implemented.01:02
LiraNunaright, but is it possible?01:02
LiraNuna<Flandry> and there's no VRAM01:03
javispedroof course you can use OGLES 2.001:03
*** andre__ has quit IRC01:03
Flandrybut it is reading/writing to main memory unless it fits in registers01:03
Flandryseems pretty pointless actually01:03
pupnikhmm glsdl01:04
*** simula_ has joined #maemo01:04
pupnikok01:04
javispedrobut remember that your color buffer will get converted into a texture and drawn again...01:04
*** VDVsx has quit IRC01:04
javispedroby the compositor.01:04
Flandryi hadn't really thought of it in those terms :/01:04
*** jaem has left #maemo01:04
javispedroand the pandora guys basically said that the powervr sucks at updating textures.01:04
Flandryhow much cache does the GPU have?01:05
javispedro(there's this new nokia texture_from_pixmaps which may be faster though)01:05
pupnikjavispedro: i hate how drnok lurches ... damn...01:06
pupniklike a stumbling drunk01:07
pupnikargh01:07
pupnikhow about a volume limiter as an nalternative to eq.  konttori is right01:07

* CoreFusion- listenign to Waldo on spotify, thanks owen!01:15
Flandryi've been looking at info on the SGX 530. Still can't see any info on cache. It must have some cache, right?01:15
*** fernando has joined #maemo01:15

*** hannesw has quit IRC01:15
javispedroFlandry: why would you be interested in that?01:16
pupnikjavis, i wasnt running fixed but auto01:16
pupnikfixed seemed really strange01:16
javispedropupnik: yeah, but may explain if there's some weirdness caused by it.01:17
*** VDVsx has joined #maemo01:17
pupnikjavispedro i think fixed 20fps could be doable01:17
javispedropupnik: an interesting thing to test would be killing the compositor (hildon-desktop)01:17
javispedrohowever If you do it "as is" will cause a reboot01:18
pupnikheh good läord01:18
pupnikheh yes?01:18
javispedroand I don't know if that /etc/no_lg_reboots file still works..01:18

b-man17rofl!01:36
Flandrybecause the size of the GPU cache is very relevant in a system that is memory bandwidth-limited?01:36
javispedrodepends on how the GPU works.01:36
*** jeremiah has quit IRC01:36
derfGPUs are always memory bandwidth-limited.01:36
Flandrynot entirely true, but anyway i was referring to the entire system01:37
javispedrothat's the reason the powervr is tile based..01:38
Flandryso it can be small, hmm yeah01:39

mdaumHello all.  Looking for info on controlling the N900's camera.02:54
mdaumParticularly shutter speed, for example.02:55
*** ferdna has quit IRC02:57
*** Kt_ has quit IRC02:58
CoreFusion-What about it?02:58
*** panaggio has quit IRC02:59
mdaumWhat API can I use to control it.02:59
CoreFusion-I have no idea, sorry :/02:59
mdaumHow I can get access to events from the "take picture" button.....02:59
mdaumGenerally camera control.02:59
CoreFusion-Have you tried searching the wiki?03:00
mdaumA bit.  There's something called GDigicam03:00
CoreFusion-http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Using_Multimedia_Components/Camera_API_Usage03:00
mdaumYes, I've seen that.03:01
mdaumI'm not saying it's not useful.03:01
mdaumGood starting point, but doesn't point me to the deeper info.03:01
mdaumGDigicam has a very similar "hello world!" to the one you just linked03:01
mdaumBoth seem to studiously avoid using the "take picture" button.03:02
CoreFusion-there is a part that talks about "Take photo", is that a different thing?03:02
mdaumEven the camera app provided doesn't provide shutter speed control.03:02
mdaumIt's a hildon button on the touch screen.03:02
*** BabelO has quit IRC03:03
mdaumLabelled "Take photo"03:03
CoreFusion-ok, you are talking about the hw button?03:03
mdaumnot the physical button on the top right of the device03:03
mdaumYah, that's the one I'm talking about.03:03
mdaumIt's nitpicky, but I'm doing research into the way cameras jitter when people take pictures.03:04
CoreFusion-Ok, then I guess you'll just have to wait until there is someone here who knows about that, I can't help you with that03:04
mdaumSo I'd really like them to be doing it the way they usually do.03:04
mdaumThanks for listening :)03:04
CoreFusion-what kind of research?03:04
mdaumComputer vision03:04
mdaumDeblurring03:05
derfWhat lab?03:05
CoreFusion-Interesting03:05
mdaumUniversity of Toronto, DGP03:05
CoreFusion-so what are you looking for exactly?03:05
mdaumSee if today's cheap sensors provide enough telemetry to really help deblur shaky images.03:06
CoreFusion-sorry for my bad english but what you mean by telemetry?03:07
*** jhford is now known as zz_jhford03:07
mdaumMeasurements of the physical position and motion of the camera while the shutter is open.03:07
SpeedEvilDeshaking - significantly - isn't really practical due to SNR limits usually.03:07
CoreFusion-Hmm03:08
*** SD69 has quit IRC03:08
SpeedEvilThe camera will - probably - be limited to a full readout in some smallish fraction of a second - IIRC ~1/10th of a second is typical for this class of sensor.03:08
SpeedEvilIt may have a faster 'binned' output mode.03:08
CoreFusion-only 110th??03:09
CoreFusion-1/10**03:09
SpeedEvilCoreFusion-: yes03:09
CoreFusion-damn03:09
CoreFusion-And here I was hoping that I wouldn't have to drag my camera with me always..03:10
CoreFusion-:P03:10
SpeedEvilThe performance of the camera is not bad - for a phone camera.03:10
SpeedEvilIt really, really suffers if you compare it to a 'real' camera though unfortunately.03:10
CoreFusion-SpeedEvil: Well I'm used to a dslr..03:11
*** kalikianatoli has quit IRC03:11
CoreFusion-I knew it wouldn't compare to it, but for casual photos..03:12
CoreFusion-it doesn't really matter that much03:12
SpeedEvilLook on flickr  for n900 images.03:12
SpeedEvilIt's quite good - for a phone camera.03:12
CoreFusion-I have seen some of them03:12
CoreFusion-And some are good, some are not03:12
*** aakashd_ has quit IRC03:12
CoreFusion-I think that it's highly affected by the conditions03:13
SpeedEvilyeah.03:13
SpeedEvilBright light is always going to show off most cameras.03:13
mdaumWell 1/10 should be slow enough to see camera shake blur, no?03:15
mdaumOf course the N900 has a CMOS camera, which complicates.03:15
CoreFusion-Sure03:15
mdaumThe camera app has an "exposure" setting, but it sort of seems to act like gain.03:15
mdaumSpeedEvil: the deblurring works better than you'd think.03:16

mdaumSo far I'm only using synthetic data, because I haven't gotten real telemetry yet.03:18
dmj726I can't tell...has image quality been improving with recent firmware updates?03:18
SpeedEvilmdaum: you've quantised the data - and added noise and blur?03:18
SpeedEvilmdaum: and you've counted the bayer effect?03:18

mdaumHere's one of the recent papers, SpeedEvil: Howdy.  I'm having trouble connecting to a bluetooth sensor from my laptop.  But I have an N900 that it works from.  Here's the hcidump of it working from the N900: http://pastebin.com/m602751d1  and here is the dump of it *not* working from my laptop: http://pastebin.com/m59a8006f03:20
mdaumOops:03:20
*** Andril has left #maemo03:20
SpeedEvilIt is the way black and white sensors fake being colour sensors.03:20
mdaumHere it is: http://cs.nyu.edu/~fergus/research/deblur.html03:20
SpeedEvilWell - a way03:20
pupnikn900 runs dosbox slower than n80003:20
pupniknice03:20
*** pupnik has left #maemo03:20
mdaumAh, I see the bayer effect.03:20
CoreFusion-pupnik: that's odd03:21
mdaumUsually you solve for the blur kernel on the intensity image, and then deblur the color channels in a non-blind way using that kernel.03:21
* SpeedEvil waits till he has a better connection.03:21
mdaumNoise is an issue.  Everyone models it as gaussian, which breaks down for jpeg.03:22
SpeedEvilI'm not sure if the sensor output JPEG - it might03:22
dmj726then don't use jpeg?03:22
mdaumIt can do png03:22
SpeedEvilSome sensors natively output jpeg03:22
SpeedEvilIn at least some modes03:22
CoreFusion-RAW FTW!03:22
dmj726the sensor shouldn't be doing jpeg...that would be silly03:23
*** VDVsx has quit IRC03:23
SpeedEvildmj726: nevertheless, it is done sometimes.03:24
mdaumSensor may not do jpeg, but it may be all the user has access to nonetheless.03:24
dmj726I wouldn't care about that on a crappy dumbphone vga camera, but something that has decent optics shouldn't03:24
dmj726I hope the n900 lets us write non-jpeg software03:25
mdaumIt does.  But it's much slower to write back the images.03:25
CoreFusion-mdaum: about that link you put; nice deblurring indeed.. :)03:25
dmj726just because of the bigger file size?03:25
mdaumPretty good, no?  Sadly not my work.03:26
mdaumBut that paper made a splash.03:26
mdaumThat was my guess dmj72603:26
dmj726still would allow for reasonable rate of capturing stills though I hope?03:27
CoreFusion-I send them a msg if I could get that code :) I could try it out on couple of my own pics :)03:27
mdaumIt's matlab code.  Worth trying tho.  I'd love to hear how it works for you.03:27
dmj726very nice debluring03:28
CoreFusion-Yeah I have access to matlab at school03:28
*** Dantonic has quit IRC03:28
mdaumNo problem then.03:28
SpeedEvilhttp://www.robotshop.us/sfe-cmos-camera-1300-1040-1.html - camera with inbuilt jpeg03:28
SpeedEvilIt's actually built onto the same chip as the sensor03:29
mdaumHow cool is that?03:29
SpeedEvilit's so that you can do jpeg video without much external heavy lifting03:29
mdaumTen bucks.03:29
CoreFusion-Hmm.. I could get one of those for my robot :D03:30
dmj726ah...well that sounds useful for simple robotics projects03:30
* dmj726 remembers how challenging it was to get a robot to find and calculate position relative to a green light.03:30
SpeedEvilhttp://www.st.com/stonline/stappl/cms/press/news/year2007/p2120.htm03:30
SpeedEvilah yes03:30
SpeedEvildmj726: It's not really very. You need to read all the image out in 1/30th of a second or so - so it's not so easy03:31
CoreFusion-haha, lucky me that our robot project was in the end very simple03:31
SpeedEvilThe camera delivers best-in-class, 30 frames per second UXGA-resolution output, for fast image capture, using an on-chip hardware M-JPEG (Motion - Joint Photographic Experts Group) encoder, or 15 fps YUV (Luminance-Bandwidth-Chrominance) output with no compression03:32
dmj7266 weeks is a short time to design and build a 150 lb/78 lb robot03:32
SpeedEvilAll in 8*8*4.5mm03:32

dmj726would you believe that it's hard to keep a robot to 120 pounds?03:53
CoreFusion-haha, depends what it has to do?03:53
dmj726Teams routinely drill holes everywhere possible to shave off 2-3 pounds03:54
dmj726or weld to avoid the extra weight of the nuts and bolts03:54
CoreFusion-what kind of motors did you have to move it around?03:56
CoreFusion-We had two motors from a small srewdriwer :D one had about 3 newtons torque... :D03:57
dmj726the drive system was a pair of 2.5" CIM motors03:58
dmj726there were other motors and the arm was pneumatic03:58

dmj726It seemed to do nicely04:07
dmj726Our bot couldn't score04:08
CoreFusion-there was 3 competition, 1 was a speedtest along a 5m track, one was a "tunign-show" as in the croud woted for the best looking and then there was that "Robot wars"04:08
dmj726However, we managed to win all but two matches in the qualification rounds04:08
CoreFusion-gj!04:08
dmj726Turns out our robot was an amazing defense bot04:09
CoreFusion-we aimed to win the wars from the beginning, didn't really bother with the others :P04:09
CoreFusion-we came second in the speed test but that was just bad luck04:09
dmj726one of the matches we didn't win was a 0-0 tie since nobody on our team could score and we managed to prevent the entire other team (which could) from scoring04:10
CoreFusion-there was 3 runs, the team that won had times: 4,8/12/16 seconds... on lucky run04:10
CoreFusion-our times were 5,4/5,0/4,904:10
dmj726very consistent04:11
CoreFusion-indeed04:11
CoreFusion-it was fun building it! :D04:12
dmj726The strange thing was everybody else thought that our bot shouldn't have worked at all as a defense bot, since (once the ramps were removed) we were about 40 pounds lighter than everyone else04:12

dmj726We suspect that our lack of padded bumpers resulted in lifting the other bot up for a spit second every time we rammed them, since we were pushing bots around that had way more powerful motors.04:14
CoreFusion-oh you didn't all have the same motors??04:14
dmj726...we couldn't push them continuously but could drive them back by repeatedly ramming.04:14
dmj726We used 2 motors, others had 404:14

lcukn900android ui = whatever java thing, iphone ui = whatever apple thing, maemo ui = gtk=qt=enlightenment,dos,liq* etc05:27
lcukn900x1105:27
luke-jrlcukn900: if you changed Maemo from Hildon, it would no longer be Maemo05:28
lcukn900but you can run non hildon apps happily05:29
luke-jryou can? :)05:29
luke-jrlast I checked Maemo abused the RAM too much to make running other apps practical05:29
luke-jr:p05:29
lcukn900better than any other platform05:30
lcukn900feasible05:30

johnxto generalize a bit: if you had 4 different potential email messages to send, each with an HTML version and a text version, would you pull the message in from a .html file on the system? or would you directly assign it to a variable inside the php script itself?08:35

lardmanyeah all the plugins are installed in that path, with not many symlinked into /use/lib10:31

johnxthe mod may be reversible, but the banning is not11:11
lardmanah right11:11
*** Khertan has quit IRC11:11
johnxor rather, the circumstances under which you could get around the ban are pretty crazy11:12
dmj726...banning consoles is pretty harsh11:12
dmj726...hmm11:12
dmj726You know what would be a great hack?11:12
dmj726Take all those modded consoles and build a service they could connect to.11:13

*** lardman has quit IRC11:13
johnxthe ban I'm fine with, strangely. the not allowing homebrew (even if it means giving up your privilege to connect to live) is more annoying11:14
dmj726...and provide games and so forth that would run on the modded consoles for that network.11:14
johnxyeah, but again: no homebrew11:14
johnxneed that as the first stepping stone. without it, grander dreams are just that11:14
dmj726...not with the default OS11:15
johnxer, wait, so you want to make licensed games that people with modded consoles could buy?11:15
dmj726either buy or get free, probably a mix11:15
dmj726wait a minute...this isn't an original concept11:16
johnxnot 100% sure on this, but doesn't all xbox360 inet multiplayer stuff happen through live?11:16
dmj726yes11:16
johnxso, the first step is homebrew11:16
dmj726And I just realized where I got that idea11:16
dmj726It's the xnet11:17

glass_johnx: bbq-fork is easier to stick in13:05
glass_regular forks are hard :\13:06
lcukn900and it makes no sense to drop symbian13:06
johnxglass_, I think we need to have outlets designed to accept forks more easily...13:06
lcukn900seriously why is that even a consideration?  i would however love for nokia devices to choose os when you open the box13:06

johnxyou mean more interoperable?13:08
dmj726easier for app developers by way of becoming like say...debian13:08

Shapeshifterdmj726: that's why many will probably use a UK/US layout.13:56

*** SmilingShark has left #maemo13:57
dmj726I suppose Europeans in countries with more characters than English has are used to switching layouts?13:57
Shapeshifterdmj726: well sure, the keyboard is the same, just the layout is different13:57
Shapeshifterdmj726: well usually there are enough keys on a keyboard to use our own layouts. I use the Swiss-german layout all the time.13:58

dmj726I've seen keys that change their labels depending on the orientation of the device and the application.14:02
kirmamuch bigger issue than the keyboard layout in my opinion, regarding games, is that there's no really practical key input on the device at all (at least d-pad), and the situation is reasonably similar on most other devices too14:03
*** IcanCU_ has joined #maemo14:03

kirmasomething like two keys on each side of keyboard plus accelerator control seems most reasonable in the case of n900 to me14:03

Termanadmj726: Isn't that done with E-Ink? I think I've seen it done on a Motorola mobile phone...14:04
Shapeshifterkirma: someone had the clever idea of putting a "dpad" on the screen in the lower right corner. I think that could work well with many emulators at least as these often don't use the widescreen layout so there will be space on the left and right anway.14:04

*** danilocesar has joined #maemo14:34
Shapeshifterkirma: nah I think it would work well, of course only if that's the only thing on-screen. The rest would still need to be on the keyboard.14:35
kirmad-pad *plus* A/B buttons, you know?14:35
dmj726yeah dpad usually doesn't do 2 directions at once14:35
kirmaor whatever14:35
dmj726but combining d pad with a and b would be an issue14:36
kirmaactually, it wouldn't be necessarily an huge issue... it would just require good placement of "buttons" and somewhat more intelligent processing of the data14:36
kirmaif there are only two pressure points at the same time on the display, the read result is something on line between those14:37
kirmaif lines are properly enough separable and user action not too wizardric, I think it could be figured out14:38

kirmatouchscreen A/B + accelerator direction might work too14:40

*** Ronaldo38741 has quit IRC14:45
kirmamzz: yes, that's a challenge14:45
mzzkirma: not so much "a challenge" as "impossible" unless you can make some assumptions about your input, I think.14:45
dmj726one at a time14:46
Shapeshifterno, as I said, without multitouch that is pretty damn impossible. Only the d-pad would go onscreen, the rest needs to stay on the keyboard14:46
ShapeshifterI don't see a problem with that.14:46
kirmapressure level is supposedly also readable from input?14:46
mzzyou probably could mostly do it if you assume the d-pad and the a/b buttons don't change simultaneously14:46
mzzand I lie, still wouldn't quite work: I don't think you could detect whether a+right just changed into b+right or a+left14:47

SpeedEvilSkypes fundamental problem is that it's a binary, with an undocumented protocol that is expected to punch through firewalls.16:53
ccookeSpeedEvil: punching through firewalls is trivial.16:53
javispedroand acts as a p2p protocol, which only adds to the injury16:53
SpeedEvilThis means that a trojan exploiting holes in the skype client could gain _wide_ acceptance.16:53

ccookeevery single IM client might have remote execution bugs. There's nothing seriously different about skype's implementation that creates greater risk other than the obscurity of closed source.16:59

PaulFertserHey folks :) I've a question wrt deblet. After compiling 2.6.30 with proper framebuffer console support and hardcoded (i assume there's no way to patch the bootloader's cmdline so i had to patch the kernel to ignore that ATAG) compiled-in cmdline i'm still unable to get Debian working :( The X doesn't start, hell with it, it can be fixed but the device turns itself off after ~65 seconds. I assume that's RETU watchdog but how should it be properly handle22:48
PaulFertser... I tried apt-get install watchdog and ensured i have RETU_WD compiled in but the result is the same. Any suggestions? :)22:48
VDVsxJaffa, I don't meant to say directly, my idea was also suggest stuff, but in a very easy way22:48

PaulFertserThe new kernel matters just because i need to use an external cardreader to read CF (a necessity since it's the format used by a professional tacheometer) and .21 just doesn't cut it.23:16

PaulFertserTo really diagnose the problem i'd probably need to know about every particular watchdog and its effect on the system. :|23:39

PaulFertserGeneralAntilles: i've read one blog post about the retu watchdog and it says it can't be effectively disabled, it reboot the system unconditionally after ~60 seconds if you try.23:45
GeneralAntillesPaulFertser, then go look at the DSME code to see how to kick it.23:45
