OK I did some testing

I flashed rootfs
booted to mmc and mounted mtdblock4 (rootfs)
downloaded from my website WM6.tar.gz

untarred onto flash (nothing is installed at this point)

rebooted

ran WindowMaker menu shortcut

fails with white screen

I rebooted

Added all 2007 application repositories

installed becomeroot


ran WindowMaker menu shortcut

fails with white screen

I rebooted

I installed osso-xterm

ran Window Maker menu shortcut

This time it works

OK, I need some more investigation, but if it is not working for you can you uninstall xterm and reinstall xterm and let me know if it works for you?

Thanks

I uninstalled xterm and it still works....?

I already run osso-xterm... Or, are you thinking that something you laid in walked over osss-xterm, so an uninstall/re-install may fix it?

I had some problems early-on with the N800 with Xterm suddenly not working, and I'd rather not see it break (it works now). Lemme do some poking around, set up a secondary boot image, and I'll give it a shot.

no problem, let me know if you find out anything. Anyone else same thing, let me know.

I just ordered my n800 today, should have it by next week. I really want to try this. What is the risk percentage of "bricking" your device? Can it always be reflashed, or at some point can you screw up the inits and boots so bad that you can't fix it.

No, with this mod it will always be possible to reflash and recover your device to its factory settings.

(I'm 99.9% sure, but not going to give a guarantee ;-))

This is a bit off topic for this thread, but what about in general. What are some common things that maemo users try to do that might brick your device? I just want to make sure I don't do them, or I consider them very carefully.

I also think, despite that I know there are so many, that I might start a blog when I get my 800 in as a newbie blog. What I did.. exactly how.. that sort of thing.

I might add that copying your system to a SD card and booting/working from there for these experiments is key. That way you never end up blowing away the system stored on the n800 flash. See http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...hp/t-4053.html
The instructions are rather technical, but then you probably need to be fairly proficient to play around with stuff anyway. I end up experimenting on the SD card version of the system and then making the changes on the flash if everything goes well.

Common things? Nothing springs to mind. Trying to flash a new bootloader that you created yourself might do it ;-)
