[maemo-developers] qtnx on maemo

[From: Henning Heinold]

Hi all,

and sorry for the cross post, but I think it is intressting for both
lists.

I want to annouce that I am working on qtnx and nxcl to get it running
on the nokia n800 and n810 devices.

With the new effort on http://qt4.garage.maemo.org/ qt-4.4 now runs in a
accetable manner on the devices. So compiling and running qtnx on
the devices was not such a problem. The problems are in the details.

First the configure-widget was not scrollbar and tried to display
all fields in the same widget. This causes some strange resize effects
and made the configure-widget rather useless. I found a easily
solution and wrapped it into a ScrollArea with qt-designer.
The patch can be found here:

Second Problem is that the nxproxy/nxcl setup not always run and you have
to restart qtnx serval times until it shows the window from the nxserver. 
I will try to solve that later, which means I will work on and improve nxcl stuff.

The greatest Problem is that x-window which comes from nxagent(which is
modified xnest-server) on the server side has no hildon-framework
support. That means the virtual keyboard on the n800 is not workable.
Luckily the keyboard on the n810 is working. Another effect is if loose
the focus on this x-window. You can not access it anymore. I hope that
I will get some help from the maemo people in this field.

I setup up a wiki/documentation-page and project-page here:

http://evolvis.org/projects/nx-mobile

and the binary and source are located here, based on the latest
debian package of qtnx:

Bye,
