Nice. What would be useful in addition to this is to get linkable object file (.o) implementing the charging procedure.
That's one thing - or people can implement open source hald-addon-bme for instance :)

Wifi and sound are working fine?
(this is genuine curiosity, last I heard the open wifi driver wasn't completely functional and couldn't work alongside the dsp)

Wireless works.. although I have troubles using network-manager that comes default with this install.. it disconnects after 10-15 minutes and won't ever reconnect to my network. If I configure it manually (using wpa_supplicant & dhcpd) it will stay connected all day. Don't know why.

Sound I don't know...

Niagara, Freerunner, OLPC2, etc.?

Exactly, G1 is closed, remember?

:eek: Please! do us a favor then and compile for us a useable latest kernel (2.6.29-rc3) and if DPS, sound, GPS, bluetooth, WiFi, cpufreq, production mode, CPU retention and probably many other things _works_ in Maemo, Mer, whatever: you are done, you prove me wrong.

Don't you really get it, the real message, do you? Repeat after me:

"The _only_ working kernel for current Nokia Internet Tablets is the 2.6.21 Nokia production release".

God now that I want that people prove me wrong on this, really...

I started working on fixing this situation, very slowly but progressing as far as a self-motivated non-expert could, but really, at least I decided to work for the common good.

Now that a real expert like you step up to the plate I'm glad I can finally RIP. ;)

Currently true but that does not mean we are stuck with 2.6.21 forever.

Any piece of HW will get old, G1 or N810, there is no difference. IMO the N810 is open enough. Support for new stuff on N810 will gradually fade due to loss of interest, not because the HW is closed.

You are doing great job.

Really, based on factual evidence?

Huh... Interest is high, it just seems ppl here believe that some old drivers' source code means open HW, good luck porting those drivers without documentation.

No prob, talk is cheap ;)

PS. @Maemo councils: Ask Nokia to put 1 day all Linux engineers in a coding sprint to fix support for 770/N8x0 in recent kernels, that would be a good service to the community IMO.

Yes please. I believe this to be a big key to the future success of the current hardware. If we can't get recent kernels fully working on the tablets, projects like Mer will never really reach their full potential.

This is all that I'm working on at the moment. I plan on being successful, but worst case I should have some very good notes. More as I know.

I'm taking the attitude that, "If Nokia won't do it, I will." Wish me luck; I'll call if I need some help, but I'm optimistic with my current plan. And just to be clear, I'm optimistic 'cause "Ignorance is bliss." :)
