"infinite" VBUS
(explanation for those entering this endless thread here: the cmdline pasted below will provide a continuous 5V@200mA to the USB receptacle of your N900, thus meeting one of the prerequisites to connect USB devices like mice, compass, kbd... you name it):

Code:
Nokia-N900-02-8:/home/user/i2c# stop bme; sleep 3; ./i2cset -y -m 0x07 2 0x6b 0x01 0x05; while true; do sleep 28; ./i2cset -y -m 0x80 2 0x6b 0x00 0x80; done
If nothhing else, at least enjoy your USB-mugwarmer powered from N900 now :-P

cheers

[edit] 'start bme' is your friend ;-)
[edit2] if you're not in a hurry - a decent scriptie will follow in a short while

[disclaimer] messing around with i2cset is potentially hazardous to your device. The above commandline is considered safe (though without any warranty implied or fart, as usual) - but please watch out for typos, and do NOT experiment with i2cset parameters as long as you don't know exactly what you're doing.
