Hi, I can start an application on 770 from xterm just fine - I see connection coming in with dbus-monitor. But when I try to start the same application from the task navigator menu, it is not even executed. Can someone tell me which process on in the maemo desktop actually calls exec()? If

Hi all, I'd like to know how to use the Nokia 770 in vertical mode. I found this: http://syslog.movial.fi/archives/2005/11.html From what I understand it uses the X11 XRANDR extension but you have to recompile the kernel/Xserver ? If yes does anyone know what are the steps to compile the kern
