It's possible but you probably will need http://www.cups.org/ for it, or at very least something like lp / lpr

Hello,

I fixed kernel module bq27x00_battery (which report info about battery). Now it export to HAL info in correct units (µV, µA, ...) by spec. power_supply_class.txt. Attached patch bq27x00_battery.patch.gz

I was inspirated by http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_...eter/bq-script. I backported bq27x00_battery module from kernel 2.6.37 and added support for new properties:
POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_STATUS
POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CHARGE_NOW
POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_CHARGE_FULL
POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_ONLINE
POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_TIME_TO_EMPTY_NOW
POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_TIME_TO_EMPTY_AVG
POWER_SUPPLY_PROP_TIME_TO_FULL_NOW

For autoloading this module (when N900 are booting) is needed to apply attached patch board-rx51-peripherals.patch.txt. Note that this patch replace patch bq_matan.patch.

Now /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer_power_supply_battery_bq27200_0 is good replecament for /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/bme on HAL, so it can be used to report battery state when hostmode is active (and bme is stopped).

Next I added support for desktop widget battery ( http://maemo.org/packages/view/battery/ ) to read info from bq27x00 when is loaded (it read from HAL). Patch battery.patch.txt is attached too.

What about package/plugin status-area-applet-battery ( http://maemo.org/packages/view/statu...pplet-battery/ )? Is there any chance to replace (or fix) this applet to read bq27x00 info when bme is stopped? With source code of this applet will be simple to write patch, but it is closed...

Edit 1:
* Updated bq27x00_battery.patch.txt (backported changes from kernel 2.6.37)
* Added patch board-rx51-peripherals.patch.txt for autoloading bq27x00 when N900 are booting
Edit 2:
* Merged my patch with bq27x00 patches from kernel mailinglist

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

Feature request - adding in h-e-n GUI settings option to start/stop external script during pressing speed-mode or VBUS or Enumerate.

Which will free h-e-n team to deal with some 'not related' to h-e-n itself request from users..... :)

For me personally I'll need that for reasons like that, loading script for calling on selecting speed mod, before VBUS or something like that...

Keep up the good work! Thanks!

Re: [Announce] USB hostmode beta release
 

That will get dealt with via udev rule. New H-E-N GUI will come with a completely changed user interface (if mohamadAG will listen to me). We won't implement user script invocation - there's all sorts of system methods for that, like udev rules, and also apps like queen-becon.

next GUI is based on a concept (suggested by me ;-D ) to just start/stop hostmode, and have a few select menus for e.g. speed=LS,FS,HS.auto

Augments like autospeed and external powered hostmode are on the ToDo as well

wait for next version to show up, mohammadAG is about to code it according to my specs this very moment.
