**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jul 22 03:00:00 2018 Jul 22 03:46:19 MAH69K : Which package? Jul 22 03:47:15 You can find its maintainer and email him/her. Hopefully, maintainer will receive email, and respond with an update. Jul 22 03:47:21 http://maemo.org/packages/ Jul 22 07:23:13 Every package "should" have a bugtracker link. Jul 22 07:23:35 email to maintainer is the best in the end Jul 22 07:29:21 bugtracker is maintainers preferred contact details for bugs: email, tmo link, garage, bug tracking software, git whatever. Jul 22 07:31:46 its preferred that bugtracker links are not email (unless small pkgs) so that other people could help with maintenance or a group can work on a project for example. Jul 22 13:19:48 Is N900 display 800x480 or 854x480? Just trying to figure out if it's possible to replace it with a e-ink display. Jul 22 13:20:17 I think it is 800x480 Jul 22 13:21:40 yes, it is Jul 22 13:22:26 How do I know whether the connector is compatible? Jul 22 13:22:26 https://www.ebay.com/itm/4-3-800x480-ED043WC1-ED043WC1-LF-E-Ink-LCD-Screen-Display-Panel-Replacement-/272901042939 A tad larger than N900's 3.5in Jul 22 13:23:36 /me is not sure whether it's actually e-ink or not Jul 22 13:37:15 for eink you need few weird voltages Jul 22 13:37:29 so definitely that part alone isnt going to work Jul 22 13:38:11 oh and you'll also need at least a display that speaks MIPI DSI Jul 22 18:16:46 I was thinking about second screen in N900 like https://www.waveshare.com/2.9inch-e-paper-module.htm and talk to it throuh SPI, but found better option for me. LCD in N900 is transflective. Jul 22 18:58:17 that transflective is good only for emergency Jul 22 18:58:30 not good for comfortable reading Jul 22 19:25:52 does transreflective mean that it is readable if some light comes to the screen from fitting angle? Jul 22 19:26:01 yes Jul 22 19:26:23 but it's very faint Jul 22 19:31:34 I think I have noticed that on bright sun light Jul 22 19:32:24 I guess it is not easy to shutdown n900 backlight Jul 22 19:32:53 backlight applet has an option for 0 brighness Jul 22 19:33:19 *brightness Jul 22 19:38:12 I have simple brightness applet and it doesn't habe zero as option Jul 22 19:38:18 have* Jul 22 19:39:49 i think it's in the options to enable 0 Jul 22 19:43:10 where those options would be? Jul 22 19:43:26 maybe in control panel? Jul 22 19:44:16 not that i can find them there at least Jul 22 19:45:01 i can open display settings from applet menu (the same that lays in system settings), but there is no such thing Jul 22 19:45:39 hmm, maybe i was thinking about n800's applet Jul 22 20:05:05 as root echo 1 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/bl_power ; sleep 2 ; echo 0 > /sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/bl_power Jul 22 20:12:06 black background with white 18 bold font is nice with some daily light, but when reflective plastic will be changed with white paper, maybe it will be nicer Jul 22 20:13:04 need to check it out Jul 23 00:19:59 vajb: my backlight has failed two months ago. On the night i can read anything on my n900 Jul 23 00:21:21 also probably for improving my reading condition i should change the plastic over the screen Jul 23 00:21:37 even answering a phone in the night is very difficult Jul 23 00:23:06 ime the screen is still readable under direct sunlight, where the backlight is pretty much completely ineffective (might as well be off under that condition) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jul 23 03:00:01 2018
