Wow! It is good to see life in this forum after all these years!

I just purchased a refurbished N900, and received it last week. The one I bought in 2010 is suffering from a few things, like the USB has to be plugged in just so for it to charge...Many of my applications don't have icons any more, for instance, about 75% of the icons are pages with red Xs in them...The slide is showing signs of wear, and so forth.

Well, I was surfing ebay the other day, and found a refurbished N900 for $80, which was $370 cheaper than my original one. Having said that, there are a couple of issues with the new device. The first was that most of the repos have gone dark. But I found mirrors like maemo.muarf.org, which I mirrored, as well as maemo extras and extras-testing. So I have it all locally and need to set up an apt mirror.

The other thing that I am more concerned about is the display seems a bit strange. I'm hoping that it is a setting that I need to tweak, because, as a for instance, one of the go-to apps I use is xournal. On the old N900, I can write normally. But on the new one, I write in one place on the screen, but the letters show up elsewhere. I can record a video if that helps...Perhaps I should nuke from orbit and start over again? Reflash with PR1.3?

Anyone got any ideas on this?

Thanks,
