zenity --info

tell me what you see.

I expect the problem is that he doesn't have zenity installed.

So we find the frequencies that are empty/poor-transmitted and use them instead. Right?

IIRC I read in the spec sheet of the transmitter chip that the transmitter is able to actually receive signal strength in order to scan for unused frequencies.
But I don't exactly remember whether the device driver on the N900 exposes
this feature.

it's normal that when scanning turns bluetooth on?

Yes, this is normal. The FM receiver is a feature of the Bluetooth chip in the N900 and thus Bluetooth has to be powered up in order to provide the FM receiver with power.

I believe you have to install a custom kernel or a patch to do that. There's a thread floating around this forum about that.
