[maemo-users] Repeat quetion : Diablo update to OS2008HE ? (Was: Software Choices for New Nokia 770?)

[From: gary liquid]

Fred,

>From my perspective I'm not sure what would be blocking liqbase from running
on the 770.

I believe the only none standard things it uses are the XV library and the
XSP raw mouse information.
If you would like to run liqbase from the console and send me the output I
will be happy to give it a run through and see whats going on.

I will be happy to attempt to get it running on all Nokia maemo devices, and
hopefully it would be a minor tweak :)

Gary
