@endsormeans:
Thanks for the generous offer, but I don't want a N8x0. The N900 made me hate HW that requires proprietary blobs and I don't want even more of it.

Hey it's ok sulu
I completely understand and commiserate.

and nokiabot...if you're really sure you want to help develop for the n810 maemo4 subcommunity..
Then sure it's yours.
pm me and we'll sort out shipping.

As far as my spare n800 goes...
(frankly I think the n800 is the better device 'tween it and the n810...having 2 card slots...it's only failing is no physical keyboard.)
I'll post the offer in a more obvious subforum...like development.
We really need a fresh infusion of putterers developing on maemo4 so I think doing this is important.

One little comma. All the difference in the world. Shine on you crazy diamond.

In German we have this more or less famous slogan:
"Komm wir grillen Opa!" Satzzeichen können Leben retten.
which translates to:
"Let's barbecue grandpa!" Punctuation marks can save lifes.

I want to make a screencast of the Maemo desktop by using gtk-recordmydesktop on an easydebian chroot image.
When start recording I do get these messages "recordmydesktop is closed with status: 2304 and discription: could not connect to X-server"
I do get to see a screencast preview on the N900 screen.
Is there any way or chance to get this working?

@jellyroll:
I have no idea how to do that with gtk-recordmydesktop, because its behavior seems odd to me.

But according to the ffmpeg wiki [1] (and some playing with options on my side) this should produce a more or less acceptable fullscreen video (without sound) of your N900 screen:
Code:
ffmpeg -video_size 800x480 -framerate 5 -f x11grab -i :0.0 output.avi
I found my N900 (overclocked to 850MHz) can't actually cast a video above 5 fps and creating an avi seems to result in a better video quality than flv.
I'm no ffmpeg/libav expert though, so someone else might very well come up with a very efficient video codec that produces even better results (no compression at all should be best).

The above command only seems to work with (Easy) Debian's ffmpeg (actually libav) and not with Maemo's, probably due to the latter being to old.
I can also only run it from within an Easy Debian Desktop (but I can record the Maemo desktop as well) and not via debbie, apparently due to a missing $DISPLAY. This should easily be fixed but I'm too tired right now (2 am) to investigate on that.

I need to pay more attention to this thread.
I TOTALLY missed sulu's Jesse and Wheezy images.
I'll get them up on qole.org tonight.
Sorry for the inattention!
