How to "enable" uPNP in canola2:

Here it is how to "enable" uPNP in canola2:

1- first install fuse and djmount (https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=681)
2- mkdir /home/user/MyDocs/.sounds/djmount
3- djmount -o allow_other /home/user/MyDocs/.sounds/djmount
4- go to canola2 settings and activate it to watch in internal memory
5- refresh library


This should work, it's not a good solution, it's not fast but it works.
I have tested it with 8 gb of music, and it works great, not so slow.

If canola doesn't show the uPNP contents some "ls" in the /home/user/MyDocs/.sounds/djmount/ or a "find" can help.

Asus EEE at 600 Mhz vs Asus EEE at 900 Mhz (part I)

I have made some benchmarks with the Asus eee 701 (really 702 but it's basically the same hardware, it only change the SSD) to view the real improvment of overclockit (put the cpu at its native clock). The benchmarks tests the SSD (disk), RAM, CPU and graphics (at the second part of this article I will post Benchmarks of games).

Here it's the hardware information:

Asus EEE 600:
Processor: Intel Celeron M 900MHz @ 0.63GHz (Total Cores: 1)
Motherboard: ASUSTeK 702
Chipset: Intel Mobile 915GM/PM/GMS/910GML
System Memory: 1002MB
Disk Space: 8GB
Graphics: Intel Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML
Screen Resolution: 800x480

Asus EEE 900:
Processor: Intel Celeron M 900MHz @ 0.90GHz (Total Cores: 1)
The rest is the same.

Software Information (the same at both):
OS: Ubuntu 8.04
Kernel: 2.6.22-14-generic (i686)
X.Org Server: 1.4.0.90
OpenGL: 1.3 Mesa 7.0.3-rc2 (i915)

And the results of benchmarks:
CPU (super-pi, less is better):


RAM (ramspeed, more is better):



Graphics (render-bench, less is better) really it's a test of cpu+graphics:



Disk (iozone):

Conclusion:
At 900 mhz the asus EEE works faster, not only in cpu, the ram is working faster too. All the system is smoother and faster, i highly recomend to overclock the Asus EEE.
The tests are made with the great PTS 0.7.0. In the second part of this article I will made Games benchmarks.

Screen rotation support on OS2008 (n8x0)


os2008 rotation from Oriol Jimenez on Vimeo.
I succesfully actived the screen rotation support on my n810 (it works on n800). Here's how i did it:

1st - Download these files:
http://sse2.net/rotate/kernel-rx-34_2.6.21.0-osso71-randr

http://sse2.net/rotate/pool/main/libx/libxrandr/libxrandr2_1.2.2-1_armel.deb

http://sse2.net/rotate/pool/main/x/xorg-server/xserver-xomap_1.3.99.0~git20070321-0osso20074202-randr01_armel.deb

http://sse2.net/rotate/pool/main/r/rotate-sb-plugin/rotate-sb-plugin_0.1-1_armel.deb

2nd - flash with the new kernel (make a back-up before doing this step, this flash ONLY the kernel, not your filesystem (programs and files)):
# ./flasher-3.0 -f -k kernel-rx-34_2.6.21.0-osso71-randr

3rd - install apps:
(in the n8x0)
# sudo gainroot
# dpkg -i --force-all *deb (execute this in the directori containing the *deb files downloaded in step 1.
# reboot
Thats all! It should work.
These instrucions and files are from: http://sse2.net/rotate/

usbserial

pl2303.ko and usbserial.ko are needed to connect any gadget through USB with a cable "USB to serial".
With this you can programme for your gadgets, transfer data, and control a lot of things.

The only you have to do is download usbserial.ko and pl2303.ko and type into n8X0 terminal (root):
insmod usbserial.ko
insmod pl2303.ko
and fun!

here I put the files:

driver gspca for n800

I just compiled gspca for n800. I don't know if it goes correctly. I try to put at N800 on os2008 with insmod and seem to load corectly, In /dev/video apears video0 and video1, but I don't know if before already apear. If anyone can help to make gspca run on n800 that was great. I want to put a labtec webcam on n800 with usb-host. I think there are not almost power to start the camera but with a powered hub I think it could work.
Oriol and I have a project to put night vision on N800, and with the modified webcam(without infrared filter), infrared light and the LCD of N800 we think it's possible. Thanks a lot.

here I put the module:
