Video out?Video out?Posted Oct 17, 2007 23:08 UTC (Wed) by daniel (subscriber, #3181)Parent article: New Nokia Linux tablet packs slideout keyboard (LinuxDevices.com)
Give me video out on this and I will never take a laptop to a Linux conference again. Has anybody geeked this question? Something I can plug into something would be OK, or as a last resort, some messy arrangement where the X Server runs on a standard Linux laptop that somebody else brought to the conference, and the app (Openoffice slide show for example) plus the keyboard input runs on the device. Regards, I just picked my christmas geek toy, and I'm not waiting for christmas.

Video out? Posted Oct 17, 2007 23:11 UTC (Wed) by daniel (subscriber, #3181) [Link] Having thought about it a nanosecond longer, just ssh -X from a borrowed laptop satisfies my minimum requirement for leaving the laptop at home, but what I really want is VGA out straight to the projector.
Video out? Posted Oct 17, 2007 23:22 UTC (Wed) by jwb (guest, #15467) [Link] The OMAP processor in the N800 includes an encoder capable of composite video, S-Video, and dual VGA display controllers, one of which is used for the built-in screen. Nokia's specifications list the headphone port as an "A/V" port, so perhaps the new model will expose at least the TV output. I would also note that, in the last 6 months, there have been numerous patches submitted to the l-k mailing list regarding the built-in peripherals on the OMAP, including the frame buffer.
Video out? Posted Oct 17, 2007 23:58 UTC (Wed) by leoc (subscriber, #39773) [Link] Does this thing have a USB host port? Perhaps one of these would work.
Video out? Posted Oct 18, 2007 0:15 UTC (Thu) by jwb (guest, #15467) [Link] Yes, the N800 has a USB port that can be turned around and used as a USB host by way of "USB on-the-go", also called OTG. Support for this is in the linux-omap git tree. It barely works and the N800 can only supply a tiny bit of power to the attached peripheral.
Video out? Posted Oct 18, 2007 18:56 UTC (Thu) by meyert (subscriber, #32097) [Link] Sorry, but this is not true. Host mode is *not* supported with N800. Regardless of which source code. The hardware doesnt make it possible.
Host mode Posted Oct 18, 2007 21:53 UTC (Thu) by dufkaf (subscriber, #10358) [Link] Sorry, but this is not true :-) I have it running right now. You need patched kernel but it works. See http://lists.maemo.org/pipermail//maemo-developers/2007-O...
