I've been using this trick for some time (for different reason though: without it I've had the watchdog triggering reboots sometime during large file transfer to mmc)

About ramzez :
After 1 week of use (with 30% setting), I'm not sure anymore that it really makes a difference. Let's say that my first report was caused by "placebo effect" or by a reboot just before testing.

Maybe someone with 2 devices could do some side by side tests ?

As you can see in the other thread on ramzswap (also by locusf), I tested the openoffice.org writer startup times after a fresh boot, with and without compressed swap. The times were identical, though I'm under the impression, too, that ramzswap makes my tablet somewhat slickier.

"under the impression...that ramzswap makes my tablet somewhat slickier" is frustratingly imprecise!

I want some hard numbers!

I'm using this code:
Code:
PROD=$(cat /proc/component_version | grep product | cut -d" " -f 6)
So paste that to the terminal and see if that works? If not I'll fix it . That was just a quick hack.

did that PROD-thing and force-installed ramzez. 3. should I now get some kind of a gui? I have a short cut in extras, not doing anything, and ramzez input terminal gives:
ramzez: error while loading shared libraries: libhildon-1.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Yeah thats because Ramzez has a GUI but it should not be installable on 770 because it doesn't have the latest Hildon libraries. You should install ramzez-init package only, there are the most important data files.

Ok you ran the variable assignment only, run this in a terminal and post the result here:
Code:
cat /proc/component_version | grep product | cut -d" " -f 6
If it still fails even after forcibly installing, just run:
Code:
insmod /usr/share/ramzez/770/xvmalloc.ko
insmod /usr/share/ramzez/770/ramzswap.ko
That should load the kernel modules, to make it installable on boot, just link the modules to /usr/share/ramzez/

Nitpicking: you don't really need cat, and the cut part could be a bit fragile as it relies on the amount of whitespace remaining constant. How about something like:

Code:
PROD=$(grep product /proc/component_version)
PROD=${PROD##* }

so no ramzez instal is needed? The prod command gave no output, so seems it works. Now, what exactly shoul I do next to achieve what? I kind of jumped into this ramzez thing without knowing exactly for what it was ment for
