Yes this is real, and it runs surprising ok, I still have a lot to set up, its about 600MB + flash

KDE 3.4.3 on N800, oh how sweet it is!! Now thats a screen shot!! And konqurer runs real nice too...

Thats awesome!
You have a pm.

penguinbait you think gkrellm would be possible to port?
I know some body try once for the OS2006 but it was not posible..
What do you think?

is this same kind of "trick" that thoughtfix did with windows ?
:-)

Am i the only one that sees the VNC title bar?

Guess it is the method he uses to capture the screen since he cannot use the classical applet used for maemo.

As far as I remember it was the same when the first images of ROX appeared.

TBH, that makes you *really* appreciate the Hildon interface: there's about 240px of usable browser space, the rest being taken up my UI elements much too large for the screen.

That's going to be the problem with many of these hacks, unfortunately.

IIRC, just about anything can be turned off in KDE, e.g. the statusbar is completely collapsible. The same goes for Konqueror (doesn't it have a fullscreen mode?).

Now, "600 MB +" makes me go "Ouch!", but I guess that with 8 GB cards now and bigger coming, I really should recalibrate my ouch-threshold.

This type of thing is very exciting and I really enjoy seeing progress porting things. I wish there was some way to make a clean transition to KDE or some other mature environment without missing critical parts-- device-specific controls for bluetooth/network, handwriting/keyboard input, and power management including locking/turning off the screen. The most painful problem revolves around input, since without a hardware keyboard and mouse KDE (and other environments) is somewhat crippled. It's really nice to have the Hildon keyboard pop up for all the text input fields, and not having a middle/right mouse button equivalent for KDE is rough. I've tried hacking on the X server to enable a bluetooth mouse but haven't had much luck yet-- displaying a cursor is easy, getting it to do anything, not so much.

Back on topic, how much memory does KDE use, penguinbait? I imagine it'd be kind of a tight fit in 128M.

If that is real... then damn.. Great job on getting all those libraries to compile for the arm. Now.. we get a righclick and we would reallly have something.


(I soo need to get my sdk running again so I can tinker with this stuff)
