Hi, <br><br>These are not UI packages/sources. Browser eal (engine abstraction layer) and maemo-browser-interface are respectively a layer for UI interoperability between engines and an interfacing package for other apps to access/share some browser stuff.
<br><br>regards<br><br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote"></span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><a href="https://garage.maemo.org/projects/browser/">
https://garage.maemo.org/projects/browser/</a><br><br>I even managed to compile them once (didn't run though). I would think that having own browser UI that launches fullscreen for your needs would be good enough solution for a kiosk mode project.
<br><br><br>>It is possible to compile a small App that sends the keyboard<br>>function key (F6 I think) to x windows that is equivalent to<br>>the hardware fullscreen button being pressed (someone pointed<br>>me in that direction a while ago on the list). Far from the
<br>>best solution but it can work.<br>><br>>The downside is it is hard to be sure which application is in<br>>front (I believe there is a util that can tell an app to go to<br>>the front, but not exactly fool proof). I am told it is
<br>>possible to disable the hardware key but I am not quite sure<br>>how you would do this (change the key mappings file?). If you<br>>can't do that they can take it out of fullscreen, they can<br>>also press the home button.
<br>><br>>The browser crashes an enormous amount (one person mentions it<br>>is linked to the number of additional windows you open, most<br>>others think it is memory related), so you need a way to<br>>detect it crashed and reopen it. (I managed to do this in Rh9
<br>>really easily, so if browser or x-windows crash it restarts,<br>>can't seem to crack it on the nokia).<br>><br>>Sleep mode (and also power off when charger plugged in) don't<br>>tend cause a proper boot up (it is already up) so startup
<br>>scripts to start the browser don't get fired.<br>><br>>Ideally I'd want to uninstall all non useful applications<br>>(e.g. games, email etc). Has anyone written anything to do that?<br>><br>>I have not found any way to cut everything back to just the
<br>>desktop and the web browser (i.e.<br>>remove the window manager) if someone can provide more info on<br>>that then I can probably knock up a proper kiosk mode for the<br>>Nokia and release it back and then we could have a basic kiosk
<br>>and everyone can chip in to fix the other issues.<br>><br>>There are so many fab web apps for a kiosk tablet<br>>- e.g. Museum guide (so much better than the talk in your ear ones).<br>><br>>Kind Regards
