That's right, there isn't any of those. Backspace is a good candidate for Escape key.

What about others? Is there no way to switch to fullscreen in the UI?

There is no universal way to switch to fullscreen, soft button is needed. One option is to keep it always in fullscreen mode.

At least on N810 holding Fn worked to print numbers, Fn is not sticky in SDL. Does this work with N900 too?

I haven't tested scummvm but Fn button works in SDL as before.

. I see there is both libvorbisidec and libmad in fremantle extras-devel but libmad is not in extras. FLAC is in both.

Depencies will be promototed automatically towards extras as needed.

As for power management - do SDL apps get lost focus event when the application is switched away or display is blank? How can I blank the display in SDK?

SDL_ACTIVEEVENT is received when window is backgrounded. This patch is from madbomber, where game is paused quite violently when it loses focus.

Code:

+         else if (event.type == SDL_ACTIVEEVENT)
+           {
+             if ( event.active.gain == 0)
+               {
+                 Mix_PauseMusic();
+                 while (SDL_WaitEvent(&event) )
+                 {
+                   if (event.type == SDL_ACTIVEEVENT && event.active.gain == 1 ) break;
+                   if (event.type == SDL_QUIT )
+                   {
+                      quit = 1;
+                     break;
+                   }
+                 }
+               }
+             Mix_ResumeMusic();
+           }

This is not very good (better than nothing still) because sound isn't deinitialzed so pulseaudio stays active. And even if sound was completely disabled, SDL won't let processor to sleep unless SDL is killed completely.

ACTIVEEVENT is not received when screen blanks. For that we should use libosso, but right now (or again

) I can't get it to receive display events.
