With a variety of linux distributions come a myriad of differences. Below are some quirks you may find when building, flashing or talking to your Neo1973
OpenSuSE 10.2
u-boot
When booting the Neo1973 in u-boot mode /dev/ttyACM0 may not appear automatically. You may have to:
# modprobe cdc_acm
before hand. Conversely cdc_ether seems to work automatically without any issues.
SVN
(from Matthias Apitz) Install a VNC server on the FR
# opkg install x11vnc
Create a launcher icon on the desktop like this:
# cat /usr/share/applications/x11vnc.desktop [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=x11vnc Comment=Bring up x11vnc Exec=xterm -e x11vnc -display :0.0 -ncache 10 Icon=x11vnc Terminal=false Type=Application Categories=Application;Utilities; SingleInstance=true StartupNotify=true
One can now fully control the FR from the desktop by launching
$ vncviewer 192.168.0.202:0
It even accepts keyboard input, for example in the dialer, or any other control using the desktop mouse as the styler; this way it's also very easy to make screenshots for presentation, or even capture a session in a movie with:
$ vnc2swf openmoko.swf 192.168.0.202:0
