It's somewhat bloated, but works nicely for me. Suspend with Power key worked every time (with sound being correctly brought back after wakeup), it even got calls and SMS messages while in suspend and woke up. As for an entry PIN - I turned off mine (or actually didn't set one to begin with), I don't think I need one every time I startup my phone. Call quality in FDOM is quite nice, there are some small echoes, but no complaints so far. YMMV, I guess. You have agpsui, Navit and TangoGPS available, and I think it should work, but haven't tested it yet. WiFi works (with Mofi) out of the box. In the recent version USB network is not setup properly because the functionality was moved from the main kernel to a module. To fix it, simply do "echo 'g_ether' >> /etc/modules" before you restart the phone, after installation. Works like a charm. In overall, I'm amazed with the FDOM, and despite bloat (needs a lot of space), I think it's the best distro so far, even surpassing Qtopia (GPS). Now, I wish that someone could port all those cool things to Debian. That would be awesome! Keep up the good work.

You can apply a tslib patch for right click.

You can try setting up apt-proxy on your laptop, download all needed packages on localhost (aptitude download will suffice). You just need to select or configure proper architecture (man apt.conf /APT::Architecture). Quick Google search shows also this: http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/apt-cross/re01.html Or you can create a local Debian mirror, if you have available disk space, although that would take some time (maybe if there's a way to mirror only selected arch...). Have you tried everything from http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Usb_networking ? Maybe try using different machine/connection/operating system?

Like this: Power plug | | USB Hub---Ethernet, thumb drive, other devices | | FreeRunner That would probably solved power requirements... But it's still 220V (or 110V) attached indirectly to the USB network, is it safe ('cause I have no idea...)? For example, can I connect another computer through USB or Ethernet card with that configuration? harnir ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: QTopia 4.3.3 doesn't suspend at first

I've noticed that too. Also, when I tested suspend for a few seconds and pressed Power it turned back on, but when I left it in suspend for about 2-3 minutes, FreeRunner didn't want to turn back on, I had to pull out the battery, put it back again. Then it started, booted 2007.2 (as default) and after like 3 seconds turned off again. I had to plug the USB cable in FR to make it boot normally. Usually my FR reports that battery is almost dead (on 2007.2) when it has like ~87% capacity left (indicator goes red), but after a while, or a reboot it reads the battery correctly again. Any idea why is that happening? harnir ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Or maybe there could be an archive of, say, week of packages (they have date in their filename anyway), so if one version doesn't suddenly do what you want, you can always try the previous one?
