I mean the software stack has improved tremendously -- I have been using zeche's patches and the terminal keyboard, and have been really happy, except for the slowness... I haven't been able to figure out what to do or what the problem is, but this sounds like the main cause... I would definitely like to turn off the scanning or tell it only to scan (or exclude) certain directories... This would make such a big difference! The patch that was listed, I'm not sure I can translate that into my thought from above... Would a setting of ContentDatabase=0 turn off the scanning. I'm not interesting in prescans of the media files... I would rather manually create play lists of find them with a file chooser. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

It also uses qpe to scan all the data on the SD card at boot. This is why it's really slow right after it boots (eg: seconds to echo keypresses in the dialer...). I use tangogps and it wants to index all the map tiles, so it takes *hours* to scan my SD card after each boot... -Rusty ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
