I guessed it referred to the middle button of the upper rocker. The only immediately obvious thing was that the interface is more sluggish than OS2007, in that it takes noticeably longer to respond to a touch with the stylus, especially when waking from screen-blank. And someone has replaced the caps lock button on the screen keyboard with a language-switch button. Grrr. *Bad* choice. >> TeX >> Emacs [...] > All of these things work fine (in fact, most of them work a lot better) > in Diablo.

TeX is a problem, though: I can't find where I got the package. I'm sure it'll turn up, and I have my original copy on a backup DVD somewhere, but the difficulty was that it's *way* too big to fit on the system internal storage, and there isn't any option that I know of to tell it to install itself on (eg) /media/mmc1/... In any case, it really ought to be recompiled from the new TeX Live 2008, out last month. I'd even offer to take over packaging if I could find the right commandline toolchain -- I will *not* install the ghastly Virtual environment I tried earlier in the year which nearly drove my laptop into the ground. Emacs is a bigger problem. The version I downloaded installed but wouldn't execute, and it was an Xterm version anyway. I did contact the author who promised me a new version but contact fell apart. It needs to be in its own window, but my programming skills aren't up to that. Is *anyone* out there using Emacs on the N800 and if so where did you get it? ///Peter _______________________________________________ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@xxxxxxxxx https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
