Screenshot of Maemo/Mer on Freerunner

Finally Maemo/Mer desktop screen on the Freerunner.

A huge milestone have been reached, the sapwood issue, that blocked the development of Mer into Freerunner until now seems to be fixed with recent updates.

The only opened issue is the keyboard. We are looking for a good gtk based virtual keyboard that renders good in the tiny Freerunner screen. If you know one, please tell me.

Soon we will publish some rootfs to test with, stay tuned!

    How about matchbox-keyboard? Haven’t tried it myself yet, but seems to work for other people on the Freerunner.

      We are moving to use the matchbox-keyboard and to make our own keyboard from the maemo keyboard….

      Hope we will finish soon, but my time is going to be full by my graduate thesis.

    i am getting a connection refused on the screenshot there… :) As for the keyboard, would it be possible to take the predictive keyboard from Illume and use that? It’s etk based rather than gtk, but… :)
