i very much like openmoko's aproach of clean separation (into daemons like gsmd) which allows me to deinstall and replace all gui stuff. so thanks alot to the neo1973 and the openmoko team!

I got my neo1973 gta01 some month ago now and want to share my expiriences with it. Because the gui at that point did not work at all and i was interested to develop an own gui anyway i deinstalled all gui stuff with

ipkg remove -recursive <all x11 libs>

(i don't remember which one and can't take a look because they are gone on my neo right now). Now i started to check all low-level functionality i thought i would need for my application with simple scripts to start them and python programs to test them (see the edits i made on the pages manually using [GSM|GPRS|GPS|BT] here in the wiki). With that basis i was able to do logrunning tests. here is the outcome:
