It seems perfect for netbooks! (1024*600) with some centering/scaling...

Sorry about the silly question...
Hey now no such thing as a silly question! and yea this thread is getting a bit long, we'll be moving to a new one to line up with the new version of the app soon enough!

Originally Ciro had a version that would run on any standard Linux install, but a lot of that compatibility got lost in dependencies for Maemo packages (libosso, etc) when I put the alarm functionality/device monitoring/etc stuff in there; so short answer right now is nope, current version won't work on other OS's unfortunately.

Now, on the other hand I am in the middle of a complete rebuild from C-SDL, which I've been trying to be much more careful about compatibility for, so that's probably the best bet. Keep an eye out and remind me as it's not a priority right now but... alternatively you can probably MAKE the current version work on non-tablets, you just have to strip out all of the libosso module includes and any code that depends on them; the main functionality should be unaffected...

Still looking for further suggestions regarding desired improvements/upgrades/etc by the way if anyone's got any...
