I did it by unpackimg one file at a time, while I was asleep-took hours! There is a minor problem in /usr/bin/swm4.sh where the call to something or other stopping matchbox some other version fails.
Once thats fixed I get xfce running under matchbox window manager! Not sure how THAT happens yet, I was rather expecting xfwm4 as the window manager. However if you remove the /etc/../keyboard stop bi you can get the thumboard(yay-waytogo pbait!) and everything (more or less) Nokia gives you. You really need to source the af-..crud
to get the right names there somehow.
I'm still looking to get xfwm4 going but so far I reckon
this thing RULEZ!

Yes the tar crash problem is hit or miss with me also, aboout 50% of the time large tars will reboot my n800. I believe this is a reproducable FIRMWARE ISSUE

What did you change in swm4.sh? Is this 770 specific or do you have n800? What os are you running?

The hildon keyboard is available through the XFCE menu (hildon keyboard start /hildon keyboard stop)

If you are having problems starting XFCE, the best option is from the command line, it will then tell you whats wrong, (as user not root)


Once you get it up, you should try some printing, I released a CUPS package about 100MB uncompressed, and you can print pictures from the gqview (Image Viewer) available in the XFCE menus
