Folks

I'm still on PR1.2. I've got a few things installed, among them: titan's power kernel (without OC) and matan's hildon-desktop fix (sorry but I couldn't find a direct link).

My N900 battery lasts for up to 5 days!

However, while browsing PR1.3 bug list I didn't find any references to hildon-desktop. Without that fix, hildon-desktop consumes a bit more battery, and brings the battery to last for as most 2 days.

Could anyone "port" matan's fix to the PR1.3?

Thanks,
Soeiro

Update: there was a typo in the name. It should be matan. It also seems that it wasn't his fix, but the fix was in his package (?).

it is not mathan's fix, but the fix is in his version of hildon-desktop. I think it is pretty saveto just install his version in PR1.3.

I noticed this fact minutes after upgrading to pr 1.3 and reinstalled my own build of hildon-desktop right away. The pr1.3 version is just a few updates behind on he latest git updates and unfortunately does not have the 'invisible bouncing' fix.

This is latest hildon-desktop from git with a fake version for PR1.3. It works here.
Please test.

These files are making my head swim! What's the difference between these and this one?

Ah they're probably same. Use the one linked (not by me).

I don't know if you've noticed or not, but the search here blows balls. I usually go and try to search with Google to find things.

I ain't too keen on the whole Layout of TMO. Pretty crappy for a Linux site....

Ohhh, and after all that, you didn't answer the question...

What's the difference?

That was the question.

That 5 days of battery life sounds sexy! I did a little thread search for info about "Mathan's Hildon-Desktop Fix" but this thread keeps popping up. What does it do?
