Boox (M92) developer community?

[underscore]

@seaniko7

When you will finish the port, unless you convince debian or ubuntu to take care of...
can you produce a minimal website for the distribution and updates also?
In this way that can be indexed by search engines.

it is very difficult to follow the efforts of the many m92 coders here around, by following
the threads searching for dropbox urls.
And see if you or Booxstor or others got some fresh news.

Potentially i see a linux distribution like the killer firmware.
Does Calibre work on m92 ? :-)
More than for editing the occasional metadata, would be nice for searching books..

Would it be possible to use the M92 as a main or secondary screen for my desktop computer, which is powered by debian ?
Also, could the M92 use internet through the usb cable ?

edit: yep, xournal has about 0.5s lag, but its usable.

Thanks. I did not know about Freemind; I'll check it out.

It should be possible. Search this thread or forum for sw needed.

Ok guys, I have dual booting Ubuntu (from sd card). Everything is working (touchscreen ,wifi, keys, usb host, power management, audio), which makes M92 a really usable Linux tablet.

As soon as I finish my exams, I'll polish whole thing and release it for community.

Bravo !! I'm waiting this !

It's for this type of reason that I want only open devices.

seaniko7, but it possible (referring to your work) to publish and describe this function on the Russian forum? I can
And please answer: probably, to connect USB 3G modem?

seaniko7, а можно я (ссылаясь на Ваш труд) выложу и опишу эту функцию на русском форуме?
И прошу ответить: возможно-ли подключить USB 3G модем?

Good Luck for your exams

You're really genious.
I installed the kernel you uploaded, but I'm afraid of flashing the uBoot.img on my own ... so I didn't try it. I hope you'll post your "final" achievements soon to start playing.

Hi

I have been struggling to figure out why my boox e-ink monitor of my Windows8 PC does not fit to the real screen size. The vnc viewer screen area is so small as you can see the image I attached in here.
I don't know how to edit the vnc viewer java file that one of the members here made.
I think the geometry of the screen resolution has been set to this small in the java file..
Does anyone know how to reset the screen area?

Thank you

Damn, can't wait anymore I hope your exams went well, any chances, that you will publish your linux for M92? Thanks.

@artemk, I'm done with exams.

I can provide OS image, but still it needs to be improved in terms of power management, display, module loading and much, much more. I mean, it's usable but still in early state and definitely not for day-to-day use.

Congratulations! This is great!
Be patient to wait and I hope everything will be well with M92 and successfully
Поздравляем! Это здорово!
Запасёмся терпением и надеюсь всё будет с М92 хорошо и успешно

As i guess that the internet is not full of binaries compiled for this architecture would be cool to integrate your distribution with a package system that help automatic building programs from the sources like pkgsrc.org
I guess everybody would want calibre and a better cbr/cbz viewer :-)

How does the ubuntu work with the e-ink controller? Did you have to patch the X-server or something?
