[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] external usb devices

[From: Salonen Kuisma]

Hi,

unfortunately the 770 is in the device mode, which means that you cannot 
plug extra devices via USB to it. However, it is possible to modify the 
kernel to be in the host mode, so you can plug USB devices like 
harddisks and keyboards. There is nothing special attempts to disable 
the devices but for example currently you cannot use the actual usb 
keyboard as input method, since it is not compatible with the input 
framework, but X server will still give kayboard events from it so if 
you have your own application...
