Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

With a SSH remote terminal, I've installed hostmode-gui with the i2c-tools dependency, and appears the big warning. Nothing happens and installation doesn't end...

After an hour (I thought it was frozen) I've taken the device, and seen the license message on screen. Oh, that was the issue!

fcam-drivers package makes the same (graphic message on device screen), but explains it on terminal:
Could i2c-tools package install with the same verbosity?

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

I so hate those warnings, we were just forced to put them because of the severity of the damage that i2cset could do (h-e-n is perfectly safe to use FYI), I'll do it on the next release.

its hard to find the usb coupler where i stay, so can someone tell me if buying these 2 things will work as expected?

I personally use the Mini to Micro ones (exactly like those) to charge my N900 from my old Motorola RAZR charger (RAZR used a mini usb port).

They are, to say the least, fragile. A little bit of force up or down when it's attached to another port, and it has a high chance of pushing itself open from the inside. Inside the cords hold together, and if the pins that hold the two plastic pieces together don't break and you don't damage the actual cord bits inside, you can just close it again. Applying tape or maybe glue to where the two plastic parts come together on that adapted would probably solve this. Careful use makes them last for a while too. (I just noticed the pictures are different for that product. The first one shows different ones than the second two... So *Shrug*. My experience is with the one shown in the generic first photo.)

As for the first item, the USB to Mini USB cable, *shrug* should work, with the other one.

Assuming both sellers are legitimate and you get both of them as advertised and working, I would say it should be fine.

@MohammadAG OK I've managed to get the pmount source accepted by extras-devel. Problem was an unspecified dependency of libblkid-dev on libuuid1. Unfortunately there is still some debugging code in the 'configure' file in the repository but it doesn't seem worthwhile making another version just to take it out.

@MohammadAG, I'm asking for adding this comment on terminal, to say that something is waiting for a response in screen:

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

The iNexio touchscreens behave as standard HID devices so there is no reason for it not to work. On a PC, it works like a mouse with no problems. However I think you might need to calibrate it on your N900, but since there are no Maemo-compatible drivers... yeah.

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

If the TV Card has open sourced linux drivers then it *might* be possible.. As long as it would be possible to send external power somehow. However I'm not associated with this project in any way so I guess someone with more know-how probably have a different opinion.

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

This is my first post on the maemo forum, although I have been using it as a reference for a few months and I have to say it is a fantastic community.

Before I am given the stock reply of "use the search" I would like to ask if host mode can be run alongside overclocking. I've seen that it won't be possible until a power kernel release for pr1.3 but I recieved an update for power kernel a week ago.

If not, is it at least possible to multiboot between a kernel with overclocking and a seperate kernel with usb host mode.

I am developing a game in python and at the moment I require 850mhz to get a decent fps.

Thanks and sorry for the n00bery :D

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

hostmode works with kernel-power (v43(?) onwards), v45+ is recommended.
