Setting this flag does not suppress reading of /etc/resolv.conf, use -R to do that. If one or more optional domains are given, that server is used only for those domains and they are queried only using the specified server. This is intended for private nameservers: if you have a nameserver on your network which deals with names of the form xxx.internal.thekelleys.org.uk at 192.168.1.1 then giving the flag *-S /internal.thekelleys.org.uk/192.168.1.1 * will send all queries for internal machines to that nameserver, everything else will go to the servers in /etc/resolv.conf. That's not it (if I understood it correctly). What we are after is domain search functionality, that is we if a DNS query fails the DNS resolver would need to to expand the query with the domain.

And while it's not finished or bugfree yet, you might want to give it a try. We'll be blogging on Planet Maemo with news and updates. Some highlights: - the basics: POP/IMAP/SMTP (normal/secure); - IMAP folders support, and IMAP-IDLE (push-email) - easy setup of new accounts - send and receive of rich text-emails - managing mail with your fingers - 100% open-source with a BSD-like license It works great in general, 'beta' maybe, but better than the included client. A few nits: 1) respect the 'subscribed folders' aspect of IMAP -- I have a lot of folders, but they aren't all active so I don't clutter my clients. 2) have 'reply-all' as one of the default bar icons in addition to the reply - I would rather not have to use the menu when replying to this list (for example). 3) just replace the included client already!!! :) Question - does it tie into the system notifications in the same way as the included app? Thanks much (sent using modest mail from my N810 josh Some important notes: - modest will *not* replace the official e-mail program - it does have the same name/icon in the menus, so don't get confused! - modest uses English, regardless of your settings - modest works great with Gmail; don't forget to use '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' as your username, not just 'user'. You can find an install file here: http://modest.garage.maemo.org/repos/modest-chinook.install This is for OS2008 (Chinook), and will *not* work on OS2007.

Re: what exactly is the GPS management framework for N810?
- Original message - I am continuing to have problems with the gps functionality on my N810. Please note the use of functionality here - from everything I can tell, the gps hardware works fine - this looks to be a firmware/driver bug or a problem somewhere else in the management stack of the gps 'subsystem' The problem is this: When newly booted, the GPS works basically fine - seems to take a little long to get a fix, but workable. If I then shut the GPS off (using the panel applet, or by closing the map application. When I try to start the GPS back up, I get nothing. A `cat /dev/pgps` gives absolutely nothing, so there is a problem somewhere in the stack, not with getting a fix - when the gps is activated and gpsd is running, /dev/pgps should ALWAYS be emitting some form of data. Correct me if I'm wrong. `killall -HUP gpsdriver` and `killall -HUP gpsd` do not solve the problem. A reboot does (although sometimes the reboot doesn't seem to entirely 'take' and has to be repeated) My understanding of the gps stack (from forums and `ps -aef|grep gps` is: --- SirfIII gps hardware gpsd 1.0-23 (osso branded) (/usr/sbin/gpsd -n -N -F /tmp/.gpsd_ctrl_sock /dev/pgp) -- I believe it is really /dev/pgps and is being truncated for some reason in ps gpsdriver (?proprietary? - no help available for runtime parametes) -- (/usr/sbin/gpsdriver) [gpsd] -- ?what is this? I have never seen anything like this with gpsd on other systems /usr/libexec/navicore-gpsd-helper (bundled 3rd party binary app that kick starts the gps unit) OR the control panel applet. --- How can I trace what is going when the gps subsystem fails? Do I actually have a bad unit? I'm past the return from where I bought it so this would be a warranty issue, but I really think it is a bug somewhere in the software stack, not a problem in the hardware. I would appreciate any pointers on troubleshooting this - when the GPS works, it is great, but it is _extremely_ frustrating to have these kind of issues on a $450 device. disabling the gps (using the checkbox in the applet control) and re-enqabling it seems to kick it back to working when it fails. I still think something is wrong either at the firmware or driver level and would be interested in helping troubleshoot it further, but I need some help on this. I'll submit a bugreport tomorrow, as I think I finally have enough info to make it useful. Also, if there is (or can be made) any documentation available for how to programmatically interface to the gps, that would be very helpful. I did not buy this unit for the built in mapping program and have no intention of using it - I want to be able to control the gps (including power on and power off) from the OS (and not using GUI applets or binary-only 3rd party apps). I spoke prematurely here. I apologize.
