Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

i tried to use an optical usb mouse, it works flawlessly except that when i try to use it on microb web browser upon clicking links or any part of the screen it doesn't work (pointer is visible), even if I turn on the mouse pointer on browser. I hope there's a fix for this as this is really important for making n900 like a desktop pc.

Yes, it is now compatible again with linux-kernel-headers. Thanks

the .h file was cruft, inside I2Ctools pkg.

Also in 0.2-9, the file manager is auto opened if mount was successful, this will be configurable in 0.3:

(and possibly with an option to select the default file manager, I prefer filebox over the default file manager, but I've found no way to open it with dbus and make it point to /media by default)

And, I'm done with 0.3, expect it in the repos some time soon (15 minutes-ish)

Thanks to alterego for his dialog example :)

At the risk of getting my head bitten off for asking a totally dumb question, could I ask a totally dumb question? I'm like a lot of avid followers of this thread, quite ignorant about the technical details, but extremely grateful to those who are making Host-Mode possible. So, here it goes: how, as a non-technical user, do I implement Host-mode? Or is it not at that stage yet, in which case, is it likely to be made available for non-experts to implement?

Thanks again for all the effort put into this by the various contributors.

genisoimage - Creates ISO-9660 CD-ROM filesystem images
wodim - command line CD/DVD writing tool

Use google (or search for their manpages) for instructions, I uploaded them to -devel a long time ago.

I have a bluetooth dongle , just wondering if it works with h-e-n ? (stupid question as n900 already has bluetooth but does it support external dongles ?)
