For the past few days I've been experimenting with Ubuntu Mobile on my Gutsy workstation via Xephyr.
Today, I got my hands on a Samsung Q1 Ultra and I've booted into UME using a LiveUSB key that I created from my development target w/ Moblin Image Creator (full mobile stack w/ proprietary, if that matters). I'm interested in understanding better why there are some differences between running in Xephyr and running on the Q1U. Here are some of the major differences that I've been noticing: 1) Home screen: In Xephyr, next to the Home icon in the upper right, I see "All" with no menu times below it. 14 app icons appear on the home screen. On the Q1U, I get a dropdown menu up there, where I can select Mobile/Internet/Games/Tools/Testing/All to filter those 14 icons to smaller sets, or there's a Settings option that reveals 10 new icons (About Me/Desktop Background... etc) that I didn't know existed. Why couldn't I access this in Xephyr? 2) In Xephyr, the three games fail to load up every time. They seem to work as intended on the Q1U. Any idea why that would be? 3) In Xephyr, once I've used ctrl+shift to grab the mouse & keyboard, I can use alt+tab to switch apps directly in UME (totally independent of the app switching for the "parent" workstation). On the Q1U, whether I've attached a keyboard or I'm using the built-in keyboard, I apparently can't switch apps that way. Seems odd. Would be very interested to learn more about what's going on here.
