[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Using Nokia 770 in vertical mode

[From: Benno Senoner]

Hi all,

I'd like to know how to use the Nokia 770 in vertical mode.

I found this:

http://syslog.movial.fi/archives/2005/11.html

 From what I understand it uses the X11 XRANDR extension but you have to 
recompile the kernel/Xserver ?
If yes does anyone know what are the steps to compile the kernel/Xserver 
(what options) so that the 770 in vertical mode ?




Another thing I would like to do is having the Xserver on the 770 
listening on port 6000 (the default x11 port) and use an xhosts
file to permit a linux PC to display the output of a X11 app on the 
nokia. Is that possible or is the Xserver on the 770 not able to
support remote connections ?
A guy on #maemo told me that he was able to run the X11 app by using ssh 
X11 forwarding.
(I assume from the nokia he ssh-ed into a linux PC and then started the 
X11 app which displays the output on the nokia).

For speed reasons I'd like to use a plain X11 connection.

My goal would be to customize maemo so that the device starts, fires up 
the wireless connection, starts and starts the X11 server
(allowing remote connections) so that a custom app can be run.

PS: If someone that is familiar with the maemo enviroment and would like 
to do some paid work on the maemo enviroment to customize it
please contact me  offlist at gnsbenno at lineakom.com
(customizations can be be released as open source (as OSS licenses 
require) since it's not a big secret, its just tedious work :) )

cheers,
Benno
