    Clutter User Interface (that''s What It''s Called)

    I've been looking a bit at Clutter, a neat user interface that supports OpenGL ES. It's used on the Moblin Netbook/MID distro, and also works on the beagle board. http://jkridner.s3.amazonaws.com/esc/ESC-341_Dompe.pdf http://www.clutter-project.org/ It can also run without X. I don't have a...

    Mobile Broadband

    Good to know. I guess the kernels I used just randomly happened to be >= 2.6.20. Totally unrelated, what's up with quotes on the forum?

    Mobile Broadband

    You don't need kernel support to prevent it being confused. You can blacklist the USB IDs so it doesn't load mass storage device drivers for it. That way only the usb serial devices show up. I've done this myself on the e272 (basically the same as e220). The actual modem part is indeed just a...

    Regional Keyboards

    As there's no chance of actual additional keys, imo it's not really much that of a use except for visual clues. Would be nice, but not that much of a priority. In my case (Norwegian); the top row goes " uiopå¨ " and the middle goes " jkløæ' ", so even with a different print you can't actually...

    Interesting Future Usb Device, Combo Evdo Modem, Gps, And Microsd Read

    Gah, I meant full speed. My HSDPA modem is a full speed device :/ The Ericsson one might have a built in high speed hub though (due to the micro sd reader), so that one might work. If it gets Linux support. The previous model didn't.

    Ubuntu For Cortex A8

    A finished Pandora would be an *excellent* showcase though. Displaying the potential for light weight net books on an actual product.

    Could Rdesktop Be Ported (remote Access To Windows Pc)

    Did I miss the part where the original poster asked for applications that aren't remote desktop? ... rdesktop works against existing Windows computers with local users without requiring additional software, and it'll be readily available as sebt3 pointed out. I use remote desktop daily and...

    Gentoo Linux

    Gentoo has binary packages for a lot of things, especially the large ones. It makes zero sense for everyone to compile exactly the same on every Pandora. I have considered setting up my home computer to compile packages, if anything it would be a learning experience.

    Interesting Future Usb Device, Combo Evdo Modem, Gps, And Microsd Read

    There are a heap of HSDPA devices, but I only know of one with GPS as well: Sony Ericsson MD400G http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/p...cc=us&lc=en Though looking at any of these might be mute anyway, due to the nasty Pandora USB business. OTG doesn't provide enough power, regular...

    Gentoo Linux

    After installing the base system that you will make available, does emerge'ing require compiling on the Pandora? Or will there be binary packages available. Also, by compiling from ground up you have a lot of possibilities when it comes to compiler target and settings. I see you're targeting...

    Opengl -> Opengl Es Wrapper Library

    Nobody argues that using OpenGL ES for new projects is a bad idea. However, as we've seen all over these forums, actual original new content will be rare. A lot of potential ports would run *well enough* with a wrapper, which is why it makes sense.

    Emulating The R4300i

    There's not really much of a point starting an interpreter from scratch. Take an existing emu that has a recompiler, and re-implement all the opcodes for ARM. That way you don't have to care about a lot of things as it's already handled. Otherwise you're looking at a year or more of development...

    What Can We Expect From Pandora Linux Distro ?

    Actually, ARM specifically states instructions are backward compatible.

    Dosbox Ready For Pandora

    I see HW acc in SDL as quite important for the Pandora's future, as basically anything running on it will be using it. If not it's just another framebuffer device, of which there has been just too many. Might also reduce power consumption. In dosbox's case, giving the CPU more time to work on...

    What Can We Expect From Pandora Linux Distro ?

    Well if you know what you are doing you *do* know what minor changes might cause things to fail. In this case I don't, but I'd be very disappointed if Pandora developers didn't. Even if you compile your own Debian kernel you can still use pre-compiled packages. I don't see a difference with...
