Re: USB Host mode - which of these pages is valid?
There are some (one?) hacks around, which seem to make N900 sort of USB host mode device (I do not know how they exactly work), although officially the device does not support that (as expressed by Gil Quim).

Displaying the content of a N810 tablet with a video projector
Hi all I would want to display the content of my N810 tablet through a video projector. I have succeeded to connect to the video projector via USB but the tablet does not show anything ! How can I order it to send its display to the videoprojector ? Do I need to install another X server thant Xomap ?

Smooth video playback of mounted files
To play media files shared over a wifi network on N900 following is what I tried: Setup: A common file server to share media files over home wifi network. Options: upnp, sshfs/nfs mounted share, streaming server Observations: 1. All options work fine for audio files. 2. With sshfs/nfs, video files up to limited resolution (VCD quality) work fine. 3. Between vlc and mplayer, vlc works much smoother. (Ovi not considered. It doesn't work well.) I think vlc utilizes the DSP hardware of N900 better while mplayer as yet doesn't. 4. Between sshfs and nfs mount, nfs works slightly better. 5. For higher resolution videos (DVD quality) none of the options works. Following observations are for a DVD quality video: - mplayer doesn't work well (or may be is very hard to tune) even if the file was copied to local memory card. - vlc works very well if the file was copied locally. However over nfs mount it is not smooth. - Network bandwidth is not a problem. The wifi interface shows transfer speeds of 10mbps and the bitrate of the video is around 2mbps. - Between other 2 machines on the same network, the video over NFS plays fine without any caching options of vlc. (Shows network is not bottleneck.) - Still, tried file-caching option of vlc, though no effect. - Since N900 plays same video fine if copied on memory card and that for other machines on same network nfs mounted videos play fine, it seems it is either N900's cpu or nfs client is the bottleneck. - Tried streaming to N900 from other machine (instead of mounting files) using vlc. The quality is not satisfactory. So, in summary, so far, NFS mounted filesystem with vlc as player has given best results, though it needs some fine tuning to make higher resolution videos work smoothly. Any inputs?

RE: Download of 10MB after internet connection
Sorry about being a little late to this discussion. If people are still interested, I have a few other thoughts to consider. First, the assumption is that it is the checking for updates that is using up the bandwidth. Keep in mind that it could be other things, such as fMMS if you use it, email, Ovi Maps, or even some of the social networking tools like Pidgin, etc. Whatever the cause, I always try to always disable automatic checking, and then do my checking manually when I am connected to WiFi, e.g. running apt-get update and apt-get upgrade from the command prompt when I am connected to my home network. I also don't automatically connect to my 3G network. I stay disconnected except when I need to connect.

If about 20 MB of that get eaten by some apt-worker process updating the db from time to time its fairly useless to me. Practically disabling auto update checking isn't _the_ fix since I have WLAN available most of the time but don't want to waste 3G traffic just because something decides that it's time for updates now. Isn't there a network-aware solution possible? Marcel Am 11.11.2010 22:24, schrieb Paul Hartman: 2010/11/11 João Olavo Baião de Vasconcelosjoaool...@gmail.com: Hi there! Every time I connect my n900 to 3g, I notice through Personal Dataplan Monitor that it downloads almost 10 MB, even if I don't open browser or login into any messenger. I'm guessing that the it runs like a apt-get update to check new software updates. Does it happen with everyone? How to disable this repository check (without disabling the repositories)?

There are some (one?) hacks around, which seem to make N900 sort of USB host mode device (I do not know how they exactly work), although officially the device does not support that (as expressed by Gil Quim). The device with standard kernel does not support host mode or USB-OTG but it is possible to configure (hack) working as host mode but . I discussed with some developers that did the implementation, HW does not comply with the USB-OTG specification so we can't claim supporting it and for that reason standard kernel does not have it compiled in nor device does not have ID pin connected. The device is open, so if you put your own kernel and configure it working in host mode, you get USB host but that does not comply any specification. The http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_USB is good description. The http://wiki.maemo.org/USB_host_mode is aomehow outdated and mostly talking about N800 and N810. They did not have USB host mode switched off from kernel driver and with them it was much more easy with my old usb-otg plugin. Sad that this more elegant solution is not possible in N900.
