Do you have a separate thread that listens on the libosso callback stuff? That could work also if it "locks up" the main loop when display is turned off and (like your main thread) doesn't use SDL to wait for events. >> Because of this, in my own SDL code I use select() when the process should >> be idle in RAM longer times without draining battery.

You can in select() listen on that file descriptor. You could look for an example here: http://hg.berlios.de/repos/hatari/file/c6567e2a430d/src/control.c - Eero PS. Except for some performance issues, Hatari emulator should work fine on N8x0 devices. I just haven't had time to package the latest version. A configuration suitable for N8x0 is included with the sources: http://hg.berlios.de/repos/hatari/file/c6567e2a430d/etc/ Some stuff for the emulator is available from here: http://koti.mbnet.fi/tammat/hatari/ _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
