And what information to add in a file conky.conf that in line Cell Radio that showed also CellID and LAC? At me version 1.8.5-1

Creamy poked me by email yesterday and reminded me to push the Conky 1.9.6-1.2 package from extras-testing to extras, which I've now done.
I've managed to get tolua++ built now and can build Conky with full Lua support in my scratchbox, but only if I install the tolua++ deb package manually with dpkg. If I install the new tolua++ package (that I have pushed through the autobuilder) from extras-devel, then Conky will not build in my scratchbox, and it will not build on the autobuilder either, failing during the configure stage with a missing dependency on libtolua++.
I think this is possibly due to optification, I'm not sure yet but hopefully I'll have it figured out soon, and can push a version with full lua support through the repo system.
Kudos to Creamy for all his hard work.
Oh, and one final thing. I've pushed a preliminary package of conkyforecast into extras-devel if anyone wants to have a play with it. I know nothing about it yet and may not have time to try it in the near future, but if anyone feels like dabbling with it, please report back here.

With ${voffset} and ${offset} we are able to move the cursor relative to the current position.
With ${goto} we are able to move the cursor to a absolute horizontal position.
Is there something like ${goto} to move the coursor to a specific vertical position?
A simple home position would help, too...

Sorry, I was away for a few days, didn't have time to reply until now. The official Conky probably doesn't support this, just google the official docs and double check, but I don't remember anything like that.
The Conky source code is fairly confusing to me, I'm not used to pointers and custom data structres so I can't really make any quick changes to the flow of the program. I have to reinstall all the development tools first anyways, so I can't even try at the moment. Let me know if the official Conky gets updated though, I can update ours with any new features they add unless they make it incompatible somehow.

Writing later and thoughtful is even better than writing in a hurry but just in time.

I hoped for something undocumented or a dirty trick.
A Idea I haven't thought about before... a command that resets the coursor position by accident perhaps?

But I doubt that there exists demand for such a feature at the desktop Conky... or it would exists since ages.
I'm currently trying to squeeze out of Conky as much information as possible. But the N900 screen is far to small. Because of that I began developing my small project Conky Layout Switcher that makes it possible to switch the Layout live within the config file and without closing conky! - but it seems to get to heavy. The CPU usage is still very high even if it doesn't draw all 4 different layouts at the same time. Perhaps you're interested how it works...
Sadly it seems that I'm unable to store information from a file in a variable, too?
I have to check a lot of times the same files if it has a specific content. I'm able to optimize this a bit (outline the blocks) as soon as the layouts are settled. But this wouldn't fix the main problem fully. Are such query somehow cached within conky or does conky execute them each time?

Hello! As you might have already heard, new power kernel (47) reports temperature in different units than earlier kernels ('old' way was reporting temperature in 1C and 'new' way is reporting in 0.1C). So conky shows that device's temperature is for example 310C and users get crazy that their devices are burning and melting (while the temperature is in fact 31C and it's just conky and other apps reporting it wrongly ). I created a quick temporary fix for this case untill packages in repos are updated or the situation is solved in other way. The temperature must be divided by 10 and voltage must be divided by 1000. I compiled updated version of 1.9.6-1.2 (newest avaible in extras-devel) and called it temporarily 1.9.6-1.2-misiak1 (Edit: and 1.9.6-1.2-misiak2). The changes i made (now i 1.9.6-1.2-misiak2 changes suggested by Creamy Goodness):
In file linux.c:
in function "void get_battery_stuff(char *buffer, unsigned int n, const char *bat, int item)":
PS. I know that it could be coded better and adding hardcoded /1000 and /10 is just brutal and I should feel ashamed of myself, I just didn't want to dig deeper into the code and wanted to release a quick fix until package maintainer does something more So treat it as just a temporary fix and install on your own risk.
Sources are available at: http://www.miskiewicz.org/files/conky-n900/
EDIT: New version 1.9.6-1.2-misiak2, it should work now with older power kernels as previously But I haven't tested it. So plase download and install conky-n900_1.9.6-1.2-misiak2_armel.deb now if you read this post

If you feel like, you can upload it to extras-devel (I posted link to needed files near the end of this post). It's your decision, as power kernel 47 is not yet so popular, but it might be worth uploading to extras-devel (as version working with older kernels is in extras already). You may also disregard my changes and create new version by yourself ignoring my changelog and description additions, your decision.while (!feof(sysfs_bat_fp[idx])) {

I didn't know that, I haven't tried the new kernel yet.
You should check if the voltage is > 1000 or the temp is > 100 before trying to divide it.

Of course
if(voltage>10000)
last_battery_volts[idx] = voltage/1000;
else
last_battery_volts[idx] = voltage;
if(temp>100)
last_battery_temp[idx] = temp/10;
else

Well, I am pretty much the maintainer. I wrote that chunk of code you modified, and I was trying to get you to fix it properly and test it since you have that 47 kernel installed and I don't. This weekend I will double check it works fine on the existing kernel, and see if we can get the change pushed out to everyone.

- on power kernel 47 the package attached to my last post (1.9.6-1.2-misiak2) shows appropriate temperature and battery voltage
- on stock kernel it shows correct voltage and -1C temperature (but after I downgraded to version from the repos it still shows -1C on stock omap1 kernel, so I guess is it normal? Anyway, it behaves the same as previous package)
I haven't tested it on power kernel 46 and earlier only (well, it should be tested also using power kernel 42 as it's last version considered "stable" - it's in Extras)
