I put fbupdatemode in /usr/bin and added the line into the script but I still get the white screen of death. Am I missing a step or something?

Maybe : #"chmod +x fb_update_mode" ?
Try "./fb_update_mode" in /usr/bin to see if it works.
When I extracted it in sdcard and put it in /usr/bin it doesn't worked but extracted directly in /usr/bin do it well.

Also, like I said it takes a while even when it works right. About a minute.

But yeah, try chmodding it.

Thanks guys!
I have a N800((OS2008), and I was able to find Android on my device using the android_installer.deb & android_image from previous post. It was really greate!, but it didn't work touchscreen.(It works navigation keys on left top) so I found this imaging post. I flash the kernel using N800zImage, and extracted fb_update_mode file to usr/bin, and added "./fb_update_mode auto" line before chroot to the android.sh. Touchscreen doesn't still work on android, even the navigation keys on the left top!. I guess this situation stared after the kernel flash. I think it's my fault. but i don't know how to solve this problems.
please advise to me about touchscreen problem.

p.s. How can I use the 'patch' tool on N800? I found the message "command not found".

Does anyone else have a problem with bringing up the thumb-board after flashing this kernel? I like to have the stylus keyboard popup by default and bring up the finger keyboard with a finger-press, but that has stopped working after I installed android and flashed this kernel. I am going to try a different kernel and see if the problem is related to the touchscreen patch for this kernel.

Just flashed the base kernel with rotation support and the thumb-press to bring up the thumb-board works beautifully again. Just in case someone else is suffering the same problem, I downloaded the kernel with rotation support from here: http://www.internettablettalk.com/wi..._OS2008_/_N800
Then extracted the kernel from the deb (/usr/share/osso/zImage...) and flashed it with the kernel flasher.

Hi all

Fabulous work getting Android ported over

I'm now trying to get the touch screen working on my N800 using the guide here.

I've clearly failed to interpret the fb_update_mode aspect of the install ?

I've patched the kernel using fanoush's kernel_flasher and modified /usr/bin/android.sh

Now when android launches none of my input controls work. The d pad now fails me ?

How does one implement this fb_update_mode ?

Many thanks

Dave

Question regarding this patch. Does this patch just contain the Android specific stuff (plus a few other tweaks) to the N8x0 kernel source available from Nokia. Or is it a patch to the base 2.6.21 kernel with the Android plus N810 specific stuff?

I was feeling adventurous, so I decided to try Android on my N800...
Success
Can't wait till we have a full port of the latest release (plus some good installable apps )
Thanks to everybody whose efforts made this possible
