Re: View logs on n900?

Being a Gentoo and openrc user I don't know enough about the Debian/Maemo sysvinit boot sequence to answer this.
If keeping historical syslog output is important to you, I would use cron to...

Re: Automatic device lock?
The above commands aren't intended to add new values to the GUI; they set the value directly in your device's configuration, and will persist until you change to a different value using the GUI.

Re: Automatic device lock?
That's because you're now using the code to read the setting, rather than write it.
Read my original post (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=872346&postcount=8) more carefully.

Re: pr1.3 media player video size issue
That .AVI contains a header declaring the aspect ratio to be 1.333. Your phone's media player is now honouring that. Try re-encoding the video with 800:480 (1.666) aspect ratio.

Re: Decibel Meter ?
Unfortunately that command breaks /dev/null (turning it into a regular file), which leads to not being able to start a new Xterm and much other weirdness. A less harmful command would be:arecord...

Re: My N900 doesn't recognize SIM card
OK, I've read through the logs of your first three boots (up until 22:46). I'm really not sure what the problem might be.

Re: My N900 doesn't recognize SIM card
It is this post (http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=712878&postcount=118).
