Other Nokia N900 GNU mobile phone tips

Nokia N900 GNU mobile phone features Hildon, a GTK framework for display, which uses a nasty big top bar, and doesn't allow applications to go fullscreen, which can be quite a problem for some apps, considering the miniscule display of the phone.

To get any app to run fullscreen on Nokia N900:

• Install kumatux.org;
• Install the latest gc for the N900;
• Install the latest gmp for the N900;
• Install the latest guile for the N900;
• Install the latest libunistring for the N900;
• Install the latest xbindkeys for the N900;
• Create ~/.xbindkeysrc

  $ echo '"wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,fullscreen"' > ~/.xbindkeysrc echo 'shift + KP_Enter' >> ~/.xbindkeysrc

• Make sure to reboot, or resource ~/.profile after having linked xbindkeys through kumatux.org-link;
• Start xbindkeys:

  $ xbindkeys

Now, pressing Shift+Enter will toggle between fullscreen/nonfullscreen states of any app you're running. Smooth!
