google chrome os

[hawsey]

Found this on a Web Wander http://chromeos.hexxeh.net/index.php it boots on a samsung nc10 of a usb stick , any takers for a little project
Would be cool just to have a fiddle around with it on the Joggler.

I also looked into this, seems that its not much different to jolios, and you can use all the chromeos apps in chrome on any joggler os that takes chrome lol

[niallmoran]

yeah, chrome isn't very good TBH - i've put it on my dell mini 9 and it's very limited....android is my current fave for the joggler

[danfoshizzle]

nothing more than an advanced web browser at the moment its not mature enough for use.

The good news for those who do want Chrome OS to play around with is that Hexxeh (the creator of Chrome OS Flow) uses the O2 Joggler to test touchscreen compatibility - http://www.thechromesource.com/video-o2 ... ng-chrome/.

[danfoshizzle]

Yeah I asked him about this before, and never got an answer, but I agree that another os is always welcomed!

[danfoshizzle]

I have asked hexxeh how he achieved this through twitter, see if he replies this time

[hawsey]

Cheers Dan fingers crossed

[danfoshizzle]

@danfoshizzle I've had the browser only, last time I tried the only working GMA500 drivers were for an old X server version

It was the browser only, damn lol

Taken from Twitter...
ever wanted to help add support to Lime? Soon the code will be available for you to hack on

This could be fun!

EDIT:
Just got a tweet back saying it would be awesome to get GMA500 working - do Buzz's builds have 2D acceleration working at the moment?

linux on the joggler has 2d/3d and video decoding acceleration (and plenty of emgd bugs)

Not too well.. homework has crippled my attempts to get anything done! At least I know what I am doing now

I'll try to have a look at it this weekend.

[danfoshizzle]

Am i mistaken or is that hexxeh's flow running on the o2 joggler?

Looks like it! Where did you get that? I've completely forgotten about the ebuild, by the way :-S Does the ICS work make up for it slightly?

It is on hexxeh's pics on twitter, was being nosey and stumbled upon it, and yes you are forgiven, happy today as Chelsea got Birmingham in the fa cup lol
