Input devices. Joysticks, Gamepads, Dance Mats. Of course also keyboards and mice which (in combination with TV-Out and Easy Debian) could make for a ultraultraportable Desktop experience. Another good use is when you need to collect data from different people (i.e. at the end of a holiday, you want to copy all photos directly via USB from the cameras / a card reader). I'd also like to find an ambient display kind of thing (something like the Ambient Orb) that can then be used (with some scripting on the N900 side) to subtly notify me about incoming mail, a broken service or something else that needs my attention.

Or use an USB sound card to give your N900 a line in for recording audio directly from an analog source.

There's a wide variety of USB crap gadgets out there for you to choose from

Download all packages there and dpkg -i them, no step by step tuts since it is after all... for power users.

Can you please post or give a link to source or patches so one (me for example

) to be able to implement PR 1.3 kernel patches (if not already included). I am asking because massive responsiveness improvement reported after PR1.3 upgrade seems to be because there are several fixes in stock kernel re swap management (among other things). Did not check in garage, so sorry if this kernel source is available there.

And thanks for your efforts on hostmode project

is this the link to the wiki page on this matter?
http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_USB_Host

if it is, i hope it will be updated

and if possible, anyone who has compiled/mods drivers for a certain devices to work could share it with others in the wiki

all the patches can be found here (as always).

Also, don't blame hen for your slow device, we made a lot of tests on it and it does not increase load on the CPU at all, nor does it risk damaging your device, but I'd like to thank a certain member for spreading ******** (BS if it gets censored) about it.

i hope you are not talking about me cuz there are many members who you just *@#!~ up their devices and we all read the warning and the wiki and we felt safe

For thoes who dont know.
Run this:

Code:

dpkg -i kernel-power_2.6.28-maemo40_armel.deb kernel-power-modules_2.6.28-maemo40_armel.deb kernel-power-flasher_2.6.28-maemo40_armel.deb hostmode-gui_0.2-2_armel.deb

You might get dependancy error on i2c-tools.
If so you can run:

Code:
