Re: How do you use multitasking in N900?

I use it extensively, and I would be frustrated without it. I currently have nine apps running:


the clock/alarm app,
an X terminal (running an ssh session)
the phone
contacts

Re: BBC Micro

I've now put a few minutes into packaging the thing; it's here:

It works well enough to boot and load discs, but not well...

Re: BBC Micro

I don't know how the N8x0 window manager handled it, but I imagine it was in a similar way. The fault is not with the window manager but with libsdl. It is possible (probable, indeed) that the...

Re: BBC Micro

When an app refuses focus, the focus ends up on the desktop. When a keypress is received by the desktop, this is interpreted as a request to look up contacts beginning with that letter.

Re: N810 apache web server....WORKS????

Hijacking an old thread: I can confirm that Apache works fine on the N900 as well, since someone (possibly facetiously) told me it would be a killer feature. ...

Re: BBC Micro

Think we should file a Maemo bug to get it fixed downstream if they won't get on with fixing it upstream? It seems a pretty easy bug to run into.

Re: BBC Micro

Matchbox is doing the right thing here, yes. Looks like that wmhints->flags =... should have been a wmhints->flags |=... .

Re: BBC Micro

DOSBox (and BeebEm) have neither InputHint nor WM_TAKE_FOCUS, and the ICCCM says explicitly that this means "the client never expects keyboard input".

One rather interesting point is that a very...

Re: BBC Micro

Thank you :)

The problem is that there's a bit in WM_HINTS which (in both apps) isn't set. You can see this using "xprop -id 0x...":

For Beebem:

WM_HINTS(WM_HINTS):

Re: BBC Micro

Thanks. Fixing window managers is rather an obsession of mine, so I'm certainly going to be looking at that after work tonight. :)

Ten minutes' hacking around brings the Beeb to the N900. It has some keyboard focus issues which need seeing to. Also, beebem uses f12 to...

Re: rfk, belltower

It occurred to me the other day that Belltower could be usefully generalised. Imagine if there was a Maemo package called "nearby" which provided an app which, given a set of items with coordinates...

Re: rfk, belltower

I have also made a screencast (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJLIJwOzwEM) of Belltower in use, in case anyone's interested. I think it shows quite well how easy to use the N900's UI is.
