go to maemo, get a root shell (sudo gainroot) and run this:

chroot /mnt/initfs cal-tool --set-root-device ask:flash

then reboot and the bootmenu should come up automatically without pressing any key.

it was --set-root-devide instaed of --set-boot-device but it worked.

Thanks a lot!

Maybe i was not releasing it quickly enough, but anyway, i don't reboot so often that not seeing the menu would save me a lot of time. So i prefer seeing the menu when i reboot.

How will this affect my data and applications on the tablet when installed? How does this work with my cloned system on my internal sd? Will I have to redo everything over or is it like an upgrade or dual boot? Thanks

Status on 770 wifi:

770 wifi driver does not like scanning whatsoever while associated it seems like. The cx3110x.ko with patches seems to work fine (even with WPA2), but takes time scanning and associating, often drawing blank scanning results.

Any of the 770 early adaptors who know anything about the quirks the 770 driver has? I have all patches from here, and using 0.8.1.

On a sidenote - it seems like both 770 and N8x0 cx3110x does not like scans while associated?

As promised, we now have a patched HAL for Nokia N810 owners, so their Fn keys can start working without having to apply xkb.model manually. You can grab this update through x-terminal, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade - which will after a reboot give you the proper xkb.model.

OK; for those of you with 770s, something of academic interest:

https://code.launchpad.net/~mer-comm...-r/cx3110x-770

cx3110x driver 1.2 which compiles for 2.6.16-27, and with patches to help usage. It also doesn't seem to return blank scans constantly when scanning.

Does Mer currently support usb-audio using ALSA and has anyone tested it with an external USB DAC?
I'm new to the Nokia tablets and to Mer, so I apologize in advance if this is not the right time or thread to post this question.

OK, this weekend I've been hacking away at cx3110x (bundyo's patches) on top of 2.6.28-omap1 on 770. If you put in umac.ko from initfs along with instructions in http://git.pokylinux.org/cgit.cgi/po...cx3110x_1.1.bb and force some flags to make it ARM (non-EABI) with -mfpu=fpa , it will generate you a fresh umac.ko for a new kernel.

My experiments have brought me the following cx3110x: http://bsd.tspre.org/~stskeeps/cx311...tskeeps.tar.gz which loads and inserts fine along with umac.ko, but it fails to do ifconfig wlan0 up (stalls). Maybe it is possible to bring 770 up to par with n800s in terms of 2.6.21 kernel, but this code base is where the road ends for "newer kernels on 770 with wifi working" for me

If anyone is up for taking up the challenge they are more than welcome. I had to build a kernel with CONFIG_SLAB instead of CONFIG_SLUB to get umac.ko to link in properly.

Hi guys,

Just trying out the 0.8 rootfs and I notice a couple of very small things that would make things a bit easier for chroot folks.

• /bin/sh is symlinked to /bin/dash and this is quite annoying for chroot. I expect eventually you'll be pointing it to busybox, but until then, pointing it to bash would be the nicest.
• It would be nice to have the libgtkstylus package installed by default. This lets you do tap-and-hold right-click on GTK apps.
• The wmctrl and matchbox-keyboard packages are also nice to have, to help tame the non-hildonized apps. You might even want to include the hardware key hack and custom matchbox keyboards in Easy Debian to further bridge the gap.

Just some small requests; I can do it myself, but it would be helpful to have them in place by default in 0.9...

EDIT: The Mer Midori (Merdori?) looks nice in OS2008. I also like how the stylus keyboard pops up for GTK apps!
