You do realize other manufacturers have released kernels for the harmony board. You don't specifically need advents sourcecode...

yes but the toshiba folio and gtab are different hardware. for example the pioneer computers dreambook is identical to the vega AND has a kernel source available already...

Can you provide a link?

Blocked on this port waiting for kernel source.

I need '# CONFIG_SIGNALFD is not set' to be set.

I will try a stock nvidia kernel as the Vega source is still not here

The Kernel Source is here! Does this mean you'll be continuing with the project? Having a full linux pad with a tegra processor would be awesome.

Are there updates here? :P

My desire had a chrooted Ubuntu running via VNC, is that not possible?

Has there been any update on the ubuntu scene?

I was wondering, How would we go about installing it? Through CWM? I'm completely ignorant to it.

I have managed to get ubuntu 10.10 running okay on the vega but as it is running Xorg 1.9 there is no accelerated graphics drivers for X at the moment. It works - just a bit slower than hoped

Also I am having problems getting the touchscreen to work properly. It is recongnised but reports all events as being at 0,0 (top-left of screen)

Has anyone managed to get the touchscreen working in linux?

How did you install it?

Would it be cheeky of me to request a guide?

It's not really ready as yet.

I have hit a problem where libc causes instruction alignment errors when using ubuntu Natty (11.04)

Once I figure out a way around that I should be able to write up a guide

Alignment sorted in MeeGo :huh:

How did you sort out the instruction alignment issue?

From what I can figure it is a compiler regression with gcc 4.5

Only just upped the handset this morning.

Just spotted the progress on ubuntu.

That should help me guess.

I love the way projects feed off each other.

Ubuntu would be a lot more useful than MeeGo in my opinion. If I saw it correctly, MeeGo for tablets is windowed, right?
