I can confirm the front camera does load but it is very very dark. everything else is working perfect so far.
Also confirm the disappearing just after launch but thats no biggy.

thanks casp, i think i can fix the front camera a bit by polling it for 50+ shots (only saves the last one), but i can't improve the quality unfortunately.
Will add the random reload to the bugs list.

Could you tell me roughly how many seconds it takes to load, and for an update please? (Button goes disabled then re-enabled when done)?

I have tried pointing the camera directly at a light bulb, still no picture.

Tried runing gstreamer code directly in xterm,
get "sh: gst-launch: not found".

Something very strange here.

Oooo intruiiiging

it does need gstreamer, but thought all n900's had that?
might have found it's first fault?

edit - in x-term you could try

gst-launch v4l2camsrc device=/dev/video1 num-buffers=100 ! dspjpegenc ! filesink location=/home/user/MyDocs/test.jpg
i set 100 buffers as that should make it a bit brighter, not much though.

Takes 8.3 secs to load rom cold and 4.4 secs for a reload. I have Gstreamer from the extras-decoders app.
At the time of loading I only have the app and browser open.

Just a random thought:

If stackable windows are too complicated to implement right now, what about having each "tab" listed as an option in the app menu (that shows up when you click on the titlebar)?

if i take out the GPS part it cuts it down to about 3 seconds.... - just takes a little bit of time to warm it up....
