Penguinbait: By "three buttons on the top edge," do you mean the three physical buttons on top of the 770 (none of which work when I'm in OPENBOX) or three of the numerous buttons on top of the screen (which only appear sometimes -- I don't know how)? I do not have (or cannot find) a zoom- button, and the zoom+ button doesn't work. And the white Internet connection screen is immovable once brought up. I suspect that this is not very helpful, but it's the only information I can see to provide at this juncture. Sorry.

The Window Manager itself does not work on the 770, the WM6 did work.

It sounds like openbox is not running. Again did you do a ps? is openbox running.

From a command line, run openbox, what happens? what is the error?



And yes I mean the physical buttons

Error message as follows when running from command line:

"openbox: error while loading shared libraries: libobrender.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory."

Also, I did a ps and if I read the results correctly, only Rox-Filer is running, along with python running an AppletRun and PanelClock.

cat /etc/ld.so.conf

does it contain /usr/local/lib ?

if so, have you rebooted?, if not run ldconfig?

That library is included in my tarball, unless it not compatible on the 770?

does running ldconfig produce any errors?



ls -l /usr/local/lib/libobrender*

are the libraries in place?

ld.so.conf does contain /usr/local/lib.
Running ldconfig does not come up with any error messages.
Running ls -l /user/local/lib/librobrender* results in a listing of five librobrender files so I'm assuming this means they're all in place.

I will test it on my device soon and I am sure we will get this running.

After all, it's just a Linux device so it will work

Audax: Any progress in getting this working for a 770? I would even settle for the WindowMaker-ROX working on my 770. When I tried to install that and get it operational on my 770, it rendered my MMC operating system unbootable, and I had to reflash (reinstall) the operating system on the MMC once again from scratch. As a result, I'm now a bit gunshy. Is the fact that most of the current development activity is almost exclusively focusing on the N800 rendering the 770 pretty much obslete as to being able to partake of all these exciting new developments, of which Penguinbait's are among the most tantalizing? Thanks for any assistance you can render to me (and others still clinging to the 770 as their Nokia tablet of choice).

I am in the same boat as ascherjim, my mmc image was corrupted enough that it no longer boots. I would be interested to learn of any alternate Windows Managers for the 770, but I am a bit leary taking a chance of wiping out my mmc partition. Is it possible to backup the mmc image to my PC? I have a rsync copy of the partition, but have had no joy trying to recover.
