I'm a new 770 woot purchaser with some questions I haven't been able to find an answer to.

1. ITOS2007HE - Does it fix the opera crash w/"open in new window" bug? I'm guessing no since it uses the 2006 rendering engine. This is VERY annoying, I can't believe this hasn't been fixed yet, and official support has been cut for 2006. Is there ANY fix for this?

2. ITOS2007HE - I see reference to is being "faster" than 2006, but what exactly is faster? 2006 doesn't seem THAT slow to me, until you open 3-4 apps up. Stability wise, is it as "stable" as 2006, i.e. how often does it spontaneously reboot? I read that S.R. was an issue with early versions of HE.

3. Repositories - Has someone compiled a list of all the different repositories for ITOS2006 (mistral/gregale/scirocco?). Since I'm not that linux proficient, its easier to install from a repository for me.

3. Is there a 2006 49-2 kernel with patched high-speed mmc support? I would prefer to use the newest kernel. I assume 2007HE already includes the high speed mmc support, so if I flashed to that, this point would be moot? I prefer to stay with 2006 though, since it includes the cover power saving mode etc.

4. Has anyone come up with a GUI to mount/browse windows file shares? I've read up a little bit on CIFS, but it seems you have to go through the command line only because it requires root access?

Edit: Oh and one more question, is it possible to make the bottom toolbar in opera smaller without completely hiding it? I usually hide it in full screen mode because it takes up too much space, but then I lose access to my bookmarks until I switch back to window mode. Or could I edit the opera.ini file to make the center button in the dpad bring up the bookmark list?

1. Can you point out a bugzilla entry for this one? I'm not sure what bug you refer to.

2. Faster in terms of UI responsiveness. Under heavy load, both OSes look about the same I've heard that spontaneous rebooting is less of an issue now.

3. Erg. Sort of. This info is more scattered than I like. Search around for "sources.list" in the forums and you'll find a few different takes on it.

3.2. Yes and maybe. Fanoush's site is the place to look.

4. It's possible to get around the root access part, after you have root access. If you use FUSE, you could mount a directory as the "root" of your local network (much like Entire Network in Windows XP).

5. Not as far as I'm aware. You can hit menu in window mode to get to your bookmarks, albeit indirectly. I don't believe anyone has done that to their opera.ini, so I can't say.

I don't have a bugzilla account yet, and since I'm at work without e-mail I can't create one right now, but I will look for a bugzilla entry.

I noticed this problem right away, since some pages I go to are set to open all of their links in a new window. Opera crashes to the desktop after a few minutes of this. I searched google and found alot of other users comment on this problem as well. I'm going to install the latest version of Minimo and see how it works.

If you have a 770 you can try it out, open your links in a new window and after about 5 minutes of that it seems to crash.
I do have popups set to only open requested popups, so I will change that to always allow and see if there is an improvement.

EDIT: If you look on google, you will see lots of referrences to either opera disappearing (aka crash to the desktop) or they will specifically say it crashes when opening a new window.
Seems to be tied to opening links in a new window, as it only crashes when the link directs to a new window.

Just give it a try. I've found it feels slicker.

The packages situation is kind of a mess, since the repo is for bora, but a couple of bora packages assume N800 hardware. (acmonitor, mplayer)

I definitely see mmc speed patched kernels on fanoush's site for 39-14, but nothing for 49-2. not sure if that means 49-2 is already fixed for mmc speedup, or just that no-one patched it?

ok after some more tests I've seen that the popup blocker has no effect with opera crashing. However I have figured out that if I block all popups, links won't open in a new window, then I can use the context menu to open the link in the existing window instead of it auto opening in a new window. That seems to help stablize things, but opera still crashes now and again.

Oh and the bug number for opera crashing to the desktop is 743 and it was opened August 22, 2006, almost a full year ago.

It's what I'm using.
