Erm... rot13... is that Caesar cipher, with an offset of 13? *no comment*

I don't think it would be such an enormous amount of work. However, that counts only for totally unoptimized work. To get something powerful, it would be much harder. Anyway, unoptimized opengl is better than none. Just split the X.org indirect rendering driver in two (x.org module, redirects...

* starts wondering where are keys F1 through F7 * * imagines mapping them to (Fn+)A,B,X,Y *

QUOTE Optimally I see a daemon controlling clock, with maybe some extreme application talking to the daemon to kindly negotiate a temporary overclock. I've already decided I'd use such an approach should I ever have enough stuff on the screen to warrant it. You could use "userspace" +...

I would've preferred a full keyboard, too. Anyway, we can't tell now how it'll turn out. Anyway, I guess it is easy to remap all game controls (except analogue nubs) to missing keyboard keys. That'll be 10 more keys. *might tug a big fat keyboard around anyway, though*

Open up your camera, look at the chips inside, find documentation, find the architecture of the chip that runs the firmware, search for boot methods for that arch (for example: some SoC use RedBoot partitions on flash, etc.). Try to see if those bin files are formatted according to some such...

What about squishing 1680x960 into the screen to get a sweet desktop? #!/bin/sh export ME=Milan echo $ME asks whether anybody knows where he's left his coat\? Might try virtual 2560x1600 on my 1280x800 laptop, though. Just for the sake of it.

Optimizing for multicores and SSE first seems strange, as you'll have none of that on Pandora. Well, you could get some sort of multithreading, but the DSP isn't the same arch as the A8. Maybe a more modular approach: a generic C program, and specific libs: -Generic version first (compile on...

*Thinks about building OpenEmbedded for Pandy*

You could try ALSA. :D Yeah, thought that too before reading on :lol:

Seems STR is all we'll ever need :P. but then, STD won't hurt. Things I'd like to know though [ off-topic but still about power saving ], are whether it will be possible to use an external light source with the screen (i.e. sunlight) and shut down the backlight, and how long it should be...

My handwriting is quite good (though small), and I only use print... so no problem :-) I might try graffiti-clones, too. Simpler letters -> faster writing? (after learning curve, of course)

I guess it will be possible to rotate display using xrandr...so I'll use my Pandora with vertical screen, keyboard left of the screen, whenever I'll need handwriting recognition. *Just hoping that I can find some nice handwriting recognition software* Anyway, I'll probably use a keyboard most...

Well, you can install debian on an SD card and use that... won't use DSP, but that's all.

Is that space between "http:" and "//" normal? ...I guess not, but that might just be an error when typing to the forum.

At the worst, it'll be like my laptop. Had it 120° for the first two years. Now opens quite easily to 180° :D Anyway the picture on openpandora.org shows 170° or so.

Well, loop 'til time to move to next block instead of rendering next frame. Ok, it would take very, VERY bad code. :P

So you mean even a terminal-based "snake" game could push the processor to 900MHz O_o
