 the opportunity to ask.
 
 What is the version of uboot, kernel and root image that gets the most 
 out of the GTA01 hardware?

Everything that is not ASU/2008.8.

I find FSO (milestonte3 or testing) amazingly stable. But not very 
versatile yet.
2008.2 is still the best in my eyes when it comes to functionality and 
good GUI. But may be slightly less stable. (not sure if this is even true)

I currently use FSO, it has only basic features and they are pretty 
clunky. But I like to ride the bleeding edge. :)
And there I had the most amazing success with suspend I ever had.

Any ebook readers/textfile viewers you could recommend for 2008.8?

2008-09-29 Thread Edgar D' Souza
Hi all,
 I feel terribly lost without my old Palm PDA, which bit the dust some
time back - I used to have a mini-library on it :) Having exhausted
most of our little collection of hard-copy books re-reading them, I
tried out evince under 2008.8 on a couple of PDFs (that were A4
papersize, AFAIK) and they were pretty not exactly pleasant to read. I
wonder if anyone knows of any more congenial ebook reader software
that would work on the FR - especially if it handled PDF, PDB, and TXT
files. I don't mind trying to convert PDB and PDF and other files to
text - if I could find an effective text file viewer for the distro.
Or if someone could point me to a way to reflow or otherwise convert
the PDF files for the smaller screen, so that I could read in a more
legible pointsize, that would be great.

Thanks in advance for help and suggestions!

Regards,
Ed.

[debian] tslib device

2008-09-29 Thread sparky mat
I am trying to get the touchscreen to work in SDL (on Debian) compiled
over DirectFB. SDL is not detecting any event from the touchscreen.

As far as I understand, the following environment variables are to be set:

export SDL_MOUSEDRV=TSLIB
export SDL_MOUSEDEV=/dev/input/event1 ( -- is this correct? )

Is there something I am missing?

When I was running debian I had to set the following variable before tslib would
work. 
export TSLIB_TSDEVICE=/dev/input/event1

If you google tslib sdl there are many interesting articles on this combo.
such as:

i too would be interested in this

i was hoping plucker would be in the repos, then i could tap directly
into stuff available on gutenberg.org, but i can't find it there, or
anywhere on the net

even a simple text editor/viewer would be great. and no, i'm not using
vi, joe, emacs, or anything even vaguely similar
