Sadly we're doing some major reconstruction work right now but eventually you won't have to :P (we are moving to new repositories)

Implemented as part of my theme switching control panel applet (which uses timeless' perl script for the actual choosing and switching of the theme}

(Ignore it saying toolbar - I fixed the string later)

Heads up: 0.13 will not support 770, Beagleboard, Pocket Loox out of the box.

This is not part of us not intending to support those platforms, we just need to make kernel packages for the devices and put them in OBS - and we don't have time left to do that - Hopefully they'll be back under 0.14 sprint.

Silly question: How do I enable USB OTG/host mode in Mer 0.12?
Can I change the keyboard-layout (both USB keyboard and on-screen) to German qwertz?

Keep up the great work! :)

EDIT: Found host mode in the forums: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...light=usb+host
But how do I change the keyboard layout?

Hello guys, I'm not sure if this is the right thread to post this suggestion, but here goes:

You know the Viliv S5, it has been talked about in the forum and stuff, and today I saw this video: http://jkkmobile.blogspot.com/2009/0...v-s5-umpc.html
It's basicly how windows 7 is running on it + the things that don't run dew to M$'s software.
So, could you guys package a nice working mer and send it for a test and maybe review to sites that deal with UMPC's. I think it'd be a great boost of popularity for the great project.

And what do you think?

Sure, if we had a Viliv S5 to port onto to make sure it worked.. :)

Couldn't it be installed over a simple Ubuntu 9.04 like an additional DE?

Re: Mer 0.12 released
 
Mer cannot be installed like any other DE because some Maemo packages are heavily conflicting with gnome stuff...

I have once tried to put Mer on top of jaunty, result was Mer backround centered on the screen
