Re: Decent media player resolution
I've flashed to the latest kernel. It isn't the speed it is the overall resolution. The BBC feed only works up at dial-up bandwidth and as such looks like a really poor quality videophone. There must...

Decent media player resolution
First of all thanks to all the board members who made my introduction to the N800 relatively painless. (kernel patched - 2 8Gig cards on the way) I know that Nokia were disappointed with sales of the...

Re: Hang when SD card is in use?
And of course now I have the tools to monitor memory usage (I just run a top -d120 >top.txt) I can't reproduce the problem!

Re: Hang when SD card is in use?
I'm running a nightly - 2007-03-14 - I've made a minor customisation to the skin, just set the player select field from drop-down box to display only (in fact Ben did it for me). It means that to...

Re: Hang when SD card is in use?
I can't reproduce it at will yet, but there appears to be a memory leak in Opera but only under a certain set of circumstances (It was running at 49Mb a minute ago when I closed the app). The site I...

Re: Hang when SD card is in use?
I've tried top, if I re-direct the results to a file it seems to provide me with an ls of the /sbin folder, before the table of processes, is that correct? I'd like to post output from top (or...

Re: Hang when SD card is in use?
OK - I've managed to stop it from locking up, but I might just be masking the problem. I remembered that I extended the memory partition on the card that came with it so I created a large (128Meg)...

Re: Hang when SD card is in use?
Both cards were formatted in a windows PC to remove old clutter, and the 1Gb card has been completely reformatted and partitioned to install dual boot on it, with nothing in the files partition (I...

Hang when SD card is in use?
I'm getting a problem with an N800 (latest firmware) which is difficult to completely pin down but I THINK it only happens if I have an old SD card in the device.
If I leave the tablet idle for...

Re: Help needed getting started with OS structure
I managed to re-locate a 1Gb SD card. I've followed Schmot's blog. When I get to the stage using apt-get to install GNUtar it stalls. I've searched through the forums but can't find a solution.

Re: Minor customisation
Thanks,
My memory is a bit fuzzy but I don't think find was part of the OS in the old days. I'm not 100% sure as I was a systems integrator working on MS-DOS, Concurrent Dos (ICL DRS300), and Unix...

Re: Minor customisation
I've tested it in as many applications as I can and it works as expected.
I've found a minor bug. en_GB is shown instead of English (GB) in the regional control panel.
