The package already has the watchdog package installed, I forgot to save the config files to make it work though :)
Priority's for the touchscreen atm though

Jebba had a better aproach though. He modified the init.d files to make the second watchdog kicker start. Both work ;)

Tried InvY, it doesn't seem to be working, any ideas?
Also that calibration thingy is bugging me

Try to create a section for the inputdevice.
Something like this

Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "InvY" "True"
EndSection

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900

Still pretty much the same.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900

hmm have had the same problem on my tablet pc...
the device was "stylus" not mouse...
dont know if it help a little bit

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900

Wouldn't it be possible to use the same packages as in Easy Debian? Or would that corrupt everything? I know Easy Debian runs LXDE through Xephyr in chroot. So it might not be possible to do the same. Qole might have some ideas about this though.

I am not sure if this two links can help. You have probably already seen them. http://releases.ubuntu.com/10.04/ (It have an armel MX-51 image). And https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/LucidReleaseNotes.

Awesome work though MohammedAG. I'll try this as soon as i get my microSD card.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900

Enabled thumb2 support in the kernel, will test lucid later today hopefully.

Oh and if you want

Code:

nano /etc/rc.local # sudo if doing it inside ubuntu

# Add this line before exit 0, this is one line only:

echo "00:11:22:33:44:55" > /sys/devices/platform/hci_h4p/bdaddr; modprobe -r hci_h4p; modprobe hci_h4p

# CTRL + O to save, CTRL + X to exit

so BT will work on start up

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900

MohammadAG,

I think you should remove files inside /usr/src and /var/apt
They take up a lot of space, (600 MBs uncompressed If i remember correctly). This can probably reduce archive size by about 100-200 MB.

Need to fix the mouse or switch to 10.04 and see it works there.

Re: [WIP] Ubuntu 9.10 on the N900

Have you tried to upgrade? I failed in upgrading qole's karmic image, but mouse is working well in Xfce4 in Easy Debian/Chroot. Can you tell us, which rootfs you used and which modifications you made to make it bootable? I also tried to use a rootfs from the Netbook/Arm Lucid, but couldn't chroot in it.

Also removing man pages and useless locales may help a bit.
