    [SOLVED] Getting Usb Vga To Work

    Well, I've now got OpenOffice running under Stuckie's Debian chroot! Unfortunately it is too slow and unresponsive to be useful for running presentations :-( Still, the whole Debian-in-an-extend is really neat, and well worth the time playing with just for fun!

    [SOLVED] Getting Usb Vga To Work

    That may well be a good idea, thanks. I have read that thread, but haven't got my head round how it works yet. So much stuff to try, so little time!

    [SOLVED] Getting Usb Vga To Work

    Don't know, and don't know. Framerate doing what? and how would I measure it? I've only been looking at mostly static images so far (as that's what I'm trying to use). The Image is not very sharp, which is fine for a projector but maybe not really great for desktop use. A VGA-box might work...

    [SOLVED] Getting Usb Vga To Work

    Oooh. I hadn't thought of the Wii remote. It's bluetooth right? I don't recall any threads on using it with Pandora, but will have a search. That'll have to be tonight's play. I think I'd looked at kpresenter a while ago - can't remember what conclusion I came to. Thanks for the ideas...

    [SOLVED] Getting Usb Vga To Work

    Most of them do, and I could make the others do so (this is something we should do anyway). This would pretty much be ideal. However, I'm sure this has been discussed several times on here, with the general opinion being OpenOffice is way too much of a memory hog to run reasonably on Pandora...

    [SOLVED] Getting Usb Vga To Work

    I'm not sure entirely what "plug and play" means. Now that I have set this up, if I boot with the adapter plugged in I get both screens, if I boot without it plugged in I get the normal behaviour. If I plug the adapter in after booting I have to reboot to get the VGA screen. I presume I...

    [SOLVED] Getting Usb Vga To Work

    The USB adapter I've got is just called "USB2VGA", see below. It's nearly £85 there, but I got it on ebay (new) for £45. http://www.startech.com/item/USB2VGA-USB-VGA-External-Multi-Monitor-Video-Adapter.aspx To install xf86-video-sisusb I just used opkg: sudo okpg update sudo okpg install...

    Is there any way I can change the topic title to add [solved]?

    [SOLVED] Getting Usb Vga To Work

    Hi, I would like to get a VGA output from the Pandora. I have a USB VGA adapter (from StarTech.com), and was hoping to use this. The driver it seems to need is sisusbvga, which is installed on the Pandora by default. When I connect up a monitor I get a black screen with a red border, which I...

    Frash

    The only alternative I'm aware of is COFF, which I believe Apple and Windows uses. I don't know of any Linux distros that use COFF, but there may be.

    Latest "confirm" Time To Get Shipment Email?

    I don't think so. UTC does equal GMT (leap seconds etc apart). The UK was on BST (GMT+1) at the time of preorders, but if the timestamp shows UTC or GMT these are the same thing. It just one's French and the other's English ;-)

    Got My Email!

    I got my email yesterday! My Pandora could be waiting for me when I get home tomorrow :-) For those tracking - I was told I was about 300 - 400 in the queue by Jacquelyn in mid May. I no longer have my confirmation email, but I saved the confirmation screen at 15:47 GMT on the first day of...

    I Got My Pandora

    Congrats - and good hear more are arriving! I know everyone will tell me there is no point, but were you ever told your position in a queue, and/or what time did you order?

    Got My Email!

    15:40 BST is 14:40 UTC, GMT or UT. Not sure what it is in UMT! Edit: 15:40 BST = 18.333 UMT, I think, going from this: http://zapatopi.net/metrictime/ How silly.

    When Does Building/shipping Resume?

    Good question - I was told I am about 300 - 400 in the queue and haven't heard anything. Do I need to assume I am waiting for the next set of boards?

    Offical Congrats To Op Team Thread

    Congratulations, and above all thanks! Can't wait to get mine. Even Google is celebrating with a retro-gaming theme today (albeit somewhat below the Pandora's capabilities).

    M001 Android

    Have you managed to work out what the processor is? Best I can find is that it is probably an ARM926. Even if it really is 600MHz I'm not sure this would make it too interesting (despite the price).

    Pandora Wi-Fi On 350kilobytes/s

    Excellent news. Thanks for all the hard work and congratulations on solving the problem! Seems perfectly fast enough for anything I'm currently planning to do with it.
