I've used XChat before on Ubuntu and I know it needs a Python and Perl plugin, but I don't know where to get there for Maemo, if they even exist. I don't really have any idea about this (I'm still trying to learn the foreign architechture of linux...), or if it's possible. I just want my potato ray script for xchat. Does anyone know how to do this if it's possible?

Forget Perl. Maemo sucks WRT Perl and I had some nightmare linking errors when trying to build the Perl XChat plugin. Tried SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE to get Maemo's perl but to no avail.

That said, the version of XChat in extras-devel has the Python plugin as I could get that to build. And, "normal" XChat plugins will load regardless of XChat version ("version", in this case, referring to the one from Extras or extras-devel) as long as they're recompiled.

I'm looking for a chat program that could light up the D-Pad (customized script I guess) if I receive a new message.

Right now I'm using Pidgin, which is great because you can have it make sounds, but it would be nice if I could have something more visual and a little more discrete when receiving something new when I'm in places that require minimal distractions to others.

Thanks ahead for any advice.

Tried the Pidgin N800 LED plugin?

(OT: My N800's D-Pad really lights up: http://freefile.kristopherw.us/uploa...2/dsc00007.jpg )

doesn't the rtcomm beta (which includes telepathy-idle for irc) make the LED flash, too? - it has some annoying bugs and apparently nobody's working on it any longer, plus it isn't half as comfortable to use as xchat, but it does flash.

@Mgamerz

What does the code to this plugin even look like? I assume that it is not C, because you haven't compiled much.

Thanks Qwerty!

Darn me and my inability to Google something first before asking.

It works great but can it also offer the same display when receiving a new email from a yahoo or hotmail account?

I get a message in Pidgin stating something like 1 new email but I was wondering if there was a way to configure this to activate the LED light as well.

I did Google first this time but came up empty.

Thanks!
