I'll try to enumerate:
slight problem - never meant to make the illume image a "usable phone" far from it - it's n ultra-minimal "raw desktop only" image where i can/will configure e +illume how it really was meant to be used/configured. :) > 1 Sound doesn't work well.

The only solution I have found is to delete .e/e > directory, but I lose all the configuration (and doesn't last for long). i have never seen this. bizarre. unfortunately - until i see it - it's hard to debug. it doesn't ring any bells as to what it could be. > 3 Wifi gadget doesn't work at all. all it does is open the netlink socket and ask the kernel for signal strength of the first wifi dev it finds (fr only has 1)- it does work. i'm staring at it right now. the problem you may see is it's always "100%" and this is a driver problem. already reported in trac: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# iwconfig eth0 eth0 AR6000 802.11g ESSID:"raster" Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: 00:16:01:25:11:44 Bit Rate=54 Mb/s Tx-Power=16 dBm Sensitivity=0/3 Retry:on Encryption key:0102-0304-0506-0708-0901-0203-04 Security mode:open Power Management:off Link Quality:198/94 Signal level:-153 dBm Noise level:-96 dBm Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0 Tx excessive retries:1 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:1 (note i manually edited interfaces file and set wireless_essid and key etc.) > 4 I can't set a wallpaper.

At least, the > one of the "Battle for Wesnoth" package, that used to appear on 2008.X . it all depends on application categories. a lot just don't have any or don't have any in the applications.menu file list. i have not even tried to fix/change this. this is the same one FSO ships. my focus is on a container for other things i'm doing and bit by bit polish up pieces and make it better - illume, e17, theme, etc. etc. > I think that's all by now.
