LinuxBIOS with X Server Inside

by Alan Carvalho de Assis

Hi guys, as I said before I am developing a minimal graphic distro Linux. Now I extended the idea and place everything inside BIOS. There is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuzRsXKm_NQ I hope Dillo FLTK become free soon, then we can integrate it inside BIOS too. I am developing the tutorial at http://www.linuxabordo.com.br/wiki/index.php?title=LinuxBIOS_Graphical I hope you enjoy! Cheers, Alan

At least that could give hope to being able to work again on it. The cost of life is not very high in Chile and donations may help. -- Cheers Jorge.-

Web page update

by Jorge Arellano Cid

Hi there, As said sometime ago in this mailing list, I went to update the front page of Dillo's site to let our users know what the current status of the project is, and what we're doing/expecting. It is just a small section under the "Project Objectives". Please give it a read and send your feedback here if any. I know the "funding" link would benefit from an update, but sometime ago it was quite current and as it yielded no results, I'm not sure it to be worth the effort anymore ;-). Perhaps an alternative way could work better. -- Cheers Jorge.-

by Diego .

It seems that somebody is working on the port of FLTK2 to DirectFB http://www.fltk.org/newsgroups.php?gfltk.development+v:4889 I do not get to compile it, but i hope that somebody can. (It is in a very early stage yet) Nothing more, good bye. Diego.

Unfortunately for you, there is already a web browser in the N800, a trimmed-down version of Opera 8 which supports Flash (v7 only, I believe), CSS and Javascript (cf. http://www.nokiausa.com/N800/1,9008,feat:1,00.html) I believe that these features are mandatory for the official Nokia web browser. OTOH I would be very interested by this port and I think it would be worthwile as the default web browser is quite slow on complicated webpages (on my N770). Fred

(if Nokia is interested in sponsoring such endeavour) Are you telling me the N800 doesn't come with a web browser? If this is the case, it may be time to talk to Nokia again... -- Cheers Jorge.-

I understand all of this, but i doubt the pledge could pay for this all by itself. BTW, how much money do you think we should be aiming for ? I thought about going with 10$ pledges but i'm not sure how many between 1000, 2500 or 5000, 1000 probably being the reasonable choice. > We're looking for interested developers to work on Dillo.

Unfortunately, i'm not sure i will attend the FOSDEM. My idea was to put together the posters with a quick description of Dillo and links to the website and the pledge. I will have to take care of this next week or so and contact the FOSDEM people to check if i can put posters in some rooms or interesting spots. Cheers, Vincent

Sorry, life's too short for this > kind of crap. Believe it or not, I have a similar feeling about C++, and try to avoid it as much as I can. Now, FLTK2 is a good toolkit (trying to use a small subset of C++'s bloat), and there were parts of Dillo that needed to be ported to it, but is mainly as C-ish as it was before. Although I still have to try to convince Sebastian to a smallest C++ feature set in Dw. Not much of his fault, maybe he didn't have an option, with C++ you have the curse of templates. -- Cheers Jorge.-
