Still nobody interested in looking into either Ted or SIAG Office?

Just to clarify: I have no idea if these are portable, let alone hildonizeable, but they seem like nice, lightweight and useful applications.

Ted doesn't compile on first try

Compiles on second, doesn't link.

Compiled, testing...

Starts, but can't open anything. Will investigate tomorrow though, 'cause its 2:20 AM here and i should work tomorrow too.

For me its not so much about editing or creating on the tablet but opening and viewing from an email attachment... Basically the same thing I can do on my Treo but with 2x the screen area.

'Ted' is a Motif application, but there's a Gtk+ version in the works.. presumably that's the one Bundyo is working with. Web site says this version is not complete yet though.

I tried to install a guest operating system for your benefit but I had to stop the download because my internet connection was to slow and would have taken all day. From what I have read the applications from guest operating system are very slow and not very good. I also found that the software can mess up your display and cause havoc with your internet tablet. After all this I am going to have to reflash my tablet!!!

I am sorry you have had problems. Are you sure you need reflashing? Qole's deb package can be uninstalled without adverse effects.
What happened to your tablet? I am willing to help if I can.

EDIT: I measured approx time from the moment I invoke a chrooted word processor to the moment it's ready for working. On my tablet, abiword needs 13 seconds, OOwrite 98 seconds! But after this apparently infinite wait, it's functional enough.

The Select connection and any pop up display is shoved to the upper left corner. So I am just going to reflash It doesn't take to long. I hate mucking with my tablet.

If you want you can refrain from reflashing, this thing is very easy to fix. Wait one minute for an explanation...

EDIT: I had to find the exact Qole's post.
You need to have the package "becomeroot" or an equivalent way to issue commands as root.
Open a terminal, become yourself root, then give the command
"cp /etc/osso-af-init/matchbox.defs.orig /etc/osso-af-init/matchbox.defs"

Reboot, you're done.
