Interesting solution, but could you tell me how to connect mouse to the tablet? Last time I installed usbcontrol I managed to connect the keyboard but got no luck with the mouse - it simply wasn't recognized.

i don't have any personal experience with it, and i've heard some people say it doesn't work with all apps, so i won't make any promises, but i'd say in your case it's definitely worth trying out "USB Mouse". there's a wiki page about using a mouse with an internet tablet, and here's the installer for USB Mouse.

Wonderful I used USBControl with the that package and got my little laptop mouse to work Now my N800 is even better and I understand what did you mean saying "why use touchpad at all"

Awesome. I'm really glad that worked out for you.

Yes, although the touchscreen is very cool, there are benefits to using a real mouse and keyboard.

Updated: now as I have installed USBMouse it is fun to watch
the on-screen cursor following my messed-up touchscreen.

I have searched for and not found "USBMouse", could you please mention a source !
It seems a nice way to check my screen regularly.


@ the thread ( also posted in: "Touchscreen calibration not right" )
Re: Touchscreen calibration.

I am wondering how durable the screen is.

In another thread some members have told how they carry their IT in a pocket.
( I have myself damaged two screens in my pantīs side pocket. 1) A handera PDA, the lid was not stiff enough and the screen got burned from behind if pushed inwards the slightest. 2) A pocket camera screen, although it had a stiff protection. )

>> Could to much occasional squeezing of the screen influence it enough to change the calibration, or even make the screen response nonlinear ?

And: The screen calibration in the N810 with only 4 corner points presumes a linear screen.
Some of the described screen resonse problems would need 5 (or 9) points to calibrate a more or less nonlinear screen !

( My own N810 screen: After a few momths of use the stylus response was about 2 mm off, restored by recalibration. )
