Actually I have tried every combo out there, and I could not get enlightenment to compile. I do not remember why though..

I'll just add that I'm impressed by the guts that got you to even try this.. and that it worked out too! Good stuff! @penguinbait: There's a beer on me if I ever run into you.

OK, you can't offer me beer if you run into me, and not tell me where you hang out, so I can get my beer.

1 Guiness Draft please...

What do you think?
I do think it would be possible to port, anything is possible. Unfortunately, I would not be able to do this. 1) if is does not straight compile, and its not a simple dependency problem or easily removing references to 386/686 from makefiles. It also looks like there is a lot going on, on that thing. I have seen that on screen shots, and I always wondered what it was called.

Anyway , sorry no luck here. If I get my gnome scratchbox up again, I will try again but its unlikely.

Very nice work. Its hard to believe that KDE is that fast. So there is only the size reason left for not using KDE.

Would it be possible to compile a complete Linux Distro from Scratchbox?
Im thinking of Gentoo Linux since you can compile it from scratch.
If this is possible then we can compile all software from Gentoo portage
in Scratchbox and make packages for the Nokia devices.

Well I think you are a bit more ambitious than me. Yes I would love to see a armel distribution from scratch. And yes I did get KDE running, I know I said it was not slow. I may be a little slow, but its also a straight compile and not been optimized for this device. I really like the way this is running, but its a tad slow at times, I also have not setup any paging device yet, this will help a bit.

I think we should get a team of developers together to put out a KDE alternative to hildon/matchbox environment.

That's actually not a bad idea; since all Internet Tablets within a series are essentially identical, the optimisation only has to be done once and then a compiled image can be created for all who want to install it, SDHC and USB host support could be included by default, as well as the option to install everything on the memory card.

I'm wary about the hardware recognition though: Are all the specs really open? Will a homebrew Gentoo distro give the same level of hardware control we get from Nokia's "distro"? What stylus input package are you going to install?

Thats the excact reason I chose not to compile qt/kde embedded. There was already a working X server with stylus support, no need for me to reinvent the wheel.

BTW, I figured out how to get all my menus and configurations for KDE working, I might actually be able to put out a tarball of this. I compiled qt in place so the /usr/local/qt dir is like 370MB by itself. If I recompile and tell it where to install, I can significantly shrink that down. That being said right now in bz2 format its about 160MB, uncompressed to about 600+.

It is working really well, just got to remember to wait a few sec's, dont keep clicking.
finally got control center open, oh this is really cool.

I started looking into garage, but my projects seem to big to upload, not sure if there is a way around this? I might as well start looking for a place to host this, figure about 150MB, should be ready in a week or two. PM me if you have somewhere I can host this. I will post some video as soon as I have time....
