I'd recommend reading xrandr's man-page. Then you'd know there already are options for setting panning and scaling, since xrandr 1.3. It even contains some examples: Enables panning on a 1600x768 desktop while displaying 1024x768 mode on an output called VGA: xrandr --fb 1600x768 --output VGA...

Let's turn the argument around: why NOT have full-size sd-card-slots on the pandora?

(<alt>)-<sysRq>-k does work as a "linux finger" (kills everything on the current virtual console), as long as sysRq-commands are enabled (enable kernel.sysrq=1 in /etc/sysctl.conf, or run "sysctl kernel.sysrq=1"), but I don't have a clue what key is normally mapped to sysRq on the Pandora...

Hmm, about that "3DS": 1: It'll still stay below $200,- . Price has always been a very important point, that makes or breaks consoles, and ninty knows it... 2: In order to properly be able to do "real" 3D, the GPU will need to be cranked up severely. The DS's 3d-engine is a bit on the weak...

That phone has: windows (mobile or CE, can't tell) (2x) qvga (320x240) resolution no wifi afaict, no bluetooth or 3G probably quite weak cpu So, no thanks, I'd rather have my Pandora. There simply are no other pocketable devices <$400 with Pandora's performance and flexibility*. There are a...

Gentoo over here as well. Desktop+laptop

I think that the userspace of the devices can be interchanged with very little problems. So, keep the original kernel, put the other userspace on it, and enjoy. Or put it in a chroot, and use both "os"'s at the same time...

There's also synergy+, which isn't dead. And it also supports windows and mac, and has a gui.

IcedTea is practically full-featured, passes the java-6-testsuite, and does have java-plugin and javascript support. It uses OpenJDK, which is the opensourced version of sun's JDK. OpenJDK had a small amount of stuff that couldn't be open-sourced, and icedtea replaced those with...

USB-2.0 full-speed == USB-1.1 You can blame the USB-IF for allowing people selling usb-1.1-devices as usb-2.0 full-speed... Marketing-reasons and junk like that... usb-2.0 high-speed uses a different modulation-technique than usb-1, and implementing and switching between both requires extra...

Why generate them at all? Why not just use the .desktop(s) that comes with the app? Almost all existing linux-gui-apps already have one...

If it is open-source, doesn't need x86-specific code (eg. assembly), doesn't use openGL, and Pandora's performance is enough for it, then yes, the application can most probably be compiled for, and run on, the Pandora with relatively little trouble. If it's closed-source, then tough luck. If it...

Okular is the Best :) too bad it comes with a bit much dependencies...

If I understand correctly, the PXML.xml is appended to the filesystem-image that constitutes the pnd? hmmmm, ok.... Might it be an option to also be able to store that metadata into extended attributes? I guess that'll be quicker. So, that'll prefarably become: Check to see if the FS can handle...

A PND is a filesystem-image. At least ISO9660 (cdrom-fs, an "iso"), and squashfs (a compressed, read-only filesystem) are supported. I'd recommend squashfs, as it's easier to create (just run 'mksquashfs <directory> <name>.pnd', practically the same as creating a zip, rar, or tar.gz), takes less...

Taking off hours? Make that halving battery life or even worse, once power-management is properly working. Seems like those sticks can consume more than 2W. A 2W-load will empty our battery in 8h...

slide: less space for controls weaker, more complex hinge

I guess that the OMAP also uses quite a significant amount of additional power on OPP5, while 600Mhz only gives you max 20% additional performance compared to 500Mhz. So, for normal usage, it doesn't really make sense auto-throttling it to 600Mhz/OPP5. And 600Mhz/OPP3 isn't guaranteed to be...

AFAIK, you CAN charge the Pandora over its USB OTG-port... But with 8 LEDs, it'd be nice to know which one is which... Oh well, guess it'll just be DIY.☺

I expect there to be a variable that defines where the appdata goes to. Set that to /pandora/apps and you'll get pretty close to what you want. All subdirectories of /pandora/apps are apparently searched through to find .PNDs, so you can then put your quake.pnd into /pandora/apps/quake/, along...
