Get ready... Here it comes!

You're a- wait; now that I think about it, Crysis running on an Eee would be pretty cool...]]>Mar 26th 2008 11:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/I still haven'e managed to get TA up and running on mine yet.

Hopefully someone out there has the info/brains/geekiness to sort out a proper graphics driver for it. i'm running a modified intel driver and i can't get the touchscreen to wake up after standby.

tempting to get the sdk down just for the experience. -- I'll probably kill me eee though]]>Mar 26th 2008 11:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/Mar 26th 2008 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/Mar 26th 2008 12:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/Mar 26th 2008 11:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/Mar 26th 2008 1:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/Mar 26th 2008 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/Mar 26th 2008 7:31PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/Mar 26th 2008 9:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/
I haven't booted it yet, though; it's late, and I don't feel like rebooting my machine. I'll feed it to qemu in the morning.]]>Mar 26th 2008 10:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/

The only VGA connector available is an *output* from the integrated video card.]]>Mar 26th 2008 11:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/Mar 26th 2008 12:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/
While I appreciate your attempt to help me, a quick search will reveal that the Eee is more expensive then a 7" standalone VGA controller & connector-equipped monitor, which they themselves are more expensive then standalone 19" VGA controller and connector-equipped monitors.

And then there is the teensy tiny problem of: is the VGA controller mounted onto the MB, or does it sit behind the screen... a serious question because having to diconnect the screen from the lappie portion might give me just a LCD panel with no controller (7" LCD panel *alone* price: around $11 wholesale). To which I would then have to add a controller and a VGA port... the former is no small electronics feat.]]>Mar 26th 2008 12:35PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

This seems like a PR thing to me, a "Me Too!" for journalists that really can't get their heads around the whole Linux thing.]]>Mar 26th 2008 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/Mar 26th 2008 12:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/
Thanks, Ive been looking at portable gaming screens (Intec, Mojoplay, etc) as well... they all have pretty crappy image quality, but their cheap. I was not aware you could go VGA --> composite/s-video(?) W/o a graphics card that already has such outputs, of course(?) I thought I would need a source converter, which would be too bulky.

It's popular with homebrewers apparently, I've seen it modded into several PC cases.]]>Mar 26th 2008 3:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/
Even still, the EeePC has a very small form factor for a full fledged PC, and I know of quite a few apps that don't play nice with the screen. If an SDK makes for easy gui apps that properly work with the small screen, I'd call that a win.]]>Mar 26th 2008 3:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/26/asus-releases-eee-sdk-open-source-continues-to-be-open/
Rather like Apple and their iPhone/Touch - why build useful software when the user will pick up our devices with any old crap on them anyway..... ]]>Mar 27th 2008 8:41AM
