[maemo-developers] Can anyone tell me how the N900 vibrator driver works?

[From: Jonathan Wilson]

ICD2 policy plugins never went anywhere, I dont think I can make them do 
what I thought they could and would need to clone the entire icd2 binary 
(and given how hard cloning any binary is, even simple ones, that's not 
something I plan to try)

mce plugins are on hold, all I have so far is an attempt to clone the 
vibrator plugin. The resulting plugin does not work properly though (will
be making a post about it on the mailing list in case someone can help me 
find out why its not working)

cell broadcast SMS is still on the go, right now I am stuck because I cant 
figure out the various cell network related dbus signals (or the functions 
in libconnui and libconnui-cellular that the connectivity widgets use)

tklock (touchscreen and keypad lock), I posted the information on that to 
the mailing list and hopefully the people doing custom lock screens will 
take it and use it for their custom lock screens

bme stuff, I posted on the mailing list with all the info one would need 
related to hald-addon-bme and libbmeipc for the benefit of those who want 
to replace bme with something talking directly to the hardware

All of my other ideas for cloning stuff (like cloning the clock settings 
applet) never went anywhere.

So right now I am going to hope that someone comes up with the goods and 
can help me get my libvibrator.so clone going and that someone can help me 
reverse engineer libconnui/libconnui-cellular and/or help me with the 
csd-net dbus signals so I can move forward with my plans for Cell Broadcast 
SMS.

As for code, the only code I have posted that's of any use so far is the 
Cell Broadcast SMS stuff at http://www.cncmods.net/files/cbsdunp.zip
and the stuff related to the tklock at http://www.cncmods.net/files/systemui.h
