    ecryptfs

    can we get ecryptfs included in the next kernel ? its nice to be able to encrypt notes on SD cards you might lose or get stolen.

    Forget USB, we need PS/2 ports

    there are already "Gaming Keyboards" that do this, they show up as two separate keyboards and the 7th to 12th simultaneous key presses shows up on the 2nd keyboard device. one that does this: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/p/sidewinder-x4-keyboard

    Debian on Pandora - XServer

    I tried it and the batteries were getting drained very quickly booting under this Debian so I had to switch to running that partition in a chroot under the official OS. And I can't get the 3D working from the chroot :(

    Pandora battery connector

    P2 needs either 3 really HUGE contact pads with multiple contact pins or have a battery cable. Mine kept resetting until I jammed a lot of paper all around to keep the battery in place. it does have the rubber shims, it wasn't enough, putting it on a table was enough to reset it (one side...

    Screen bulge - discussing a possible solution

    the gap when closed is "normal" as the hindge applies closing pressure only on one side. I think it could be fixed if you'd put some rubbers in the upper right and left corners of the lid, the right one would act as a lever point to send closing pressure to the left side as the hindge is...

    5" 1080p screens becoming a reality just in time for P2?

    so, the P2 is going to have a 36x30 screen ? 1080pixels :lol:

    5" 1080p screens becoming a reality just in time for P2?

    go for a cheaper screen if there's a significant price difference. the current screen is just too good. I have no other LCDs (11, not counting the DS/GameBoys) in my house that rival the OpenPandora's I love the OP's LCD, its viewable on any angles, its just amazing. but I could easily...

    resistive touchscreen + capacitive trackpad = win ?

    the issue is in the driver. you can tune the driver to accept a small capacitive tip if the capacitive sensor's resolution is high enough. drivers normally ignore anything too small to be a finger. my problem with capacitive is it takes a lot of precious cpu time and bus bandwidth. from a...

    NEON scalers

    code looks good. I tried running some profiling test but my OpenPandora cross-build setup got borked when I reinstalled the OS on my laptop. probably some lib, header or compiler version issue between what I'm compiling/linking against and what's actually on the pandora. Since that's what...

    the open pandora 2 must use an amd apu!

    porting (aside from the kernel) should already be unnecessary but we got this weird PND system since we're running off a tiny internal filesystem rather than running straight off one of the SD cards. there would also be a lot less porting needed if the gaming control /dev interface was like a...

    the open pandora 2 must use an amd apu!

    "In 1974, Saab-Scania Sweden’s Saab Car Division began developing what is known as the “Saab Nine Cylinder Axial Steam Engine” also known as project ULF." http://www.saabhisto...b-steam-engine/ or VW's 1.0L 220hp (164 kW) 369lbs of torque steam car...

    Openpandora2, what we know so far.

    OTOH, capacitives "nubs" work very well as long as there's some kind of relief on it so we can always feel the center and outer limit. they certainly work better than the self-decalibrating ones we got now. a click button on each would be nice too instead of the "move-nub-to-click and hope...

    Openpandora2, what we know so far.

    capacitive screens uses up a huge amount of CPU time to filter and process the captured image. you get a single-channel (grayscale) image representing the capacitance of each "pixels". its a very noisy capture so you got to filter it first both in 2D and temporally (previous capture(s))...

    the open pandora 2 must use an amd apu!

    bloom requires a blurred version of the scene, which mean accessing neighbor tiles. realtime shadows require rendering the scene as depth-only texture from the point of view of the light, it is not rendered in camera-space and so it does not match render tiles of the final render. tile at...
