OK....just got the 8" Infocast and I am trying to put the browser on...I have had no luck.

Can anyone give me detailed instructions on how to do this. I already tried putting the extracted Webkit browser files (from the wiki) on a USB drive and starting the device. All I get is the photo viewer dialog box. Not sure what I'm missing here...

Just bought a 8" Infocast at BB. I have successfully hacked it with with webkit; however, I can't access control panal when the web browser is running. USB wireless keyboard is working well but the integrated mouse is disabled. Touch screen is working well. Can any expert can put the things into the device rather then in USB so that the machine can run web browser as an appl?

Thanks....browser works now.
Any way to make the right scroll bar larger? I'm having no luck selecting it when browser is full screen.

Hello all,

Just got my Infocast the other day and love it!  I'm trying to get the web-browser to run but I'd rather not use a USB stick.  I copied all of the files to /mnt/storage/web and copied debugchumby to startbrowser.sh and updated all of the directory locations there.  What's happening now though is when I try to run ts_calibrate or the browser I get "./ts_calibrate: error while loading shared libraries: libts-0.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" .  I've added the new lib directory to the path, is this something that can be fixed without a recompile?

Thanks,
Scott

Awesome!  I was hoping it was going to be something like that.  I'll try it when I get home from work tonight.

I've applied all of the suggestions provided thus far and I now have the wv_falconwing browser launching properly!  I too however am experiencing a strange touchscreen issue.  The Y movement of the touchscreen seems to be inverted -- moving my finger left to right the cursor tracks properly (although I seem to be experiencing the scaling issue).  However, when I move my finger up the pointer moves down and vice versa.  If I try to run ts_calibrate manually it fails and says "ts_open: no such file or directory".  I'm having no luck trying to figure out which file its looking for.  Running from my browser.sh script (modified debugchumby script so I can launch from the /mnt/storage directory) I get ts_config:success and then the browser launches.

UPDATE -- got ts_calibrate to successfully run (AKA not crash) -- the TSLIB_TSDEVICE environment variable wasn't set.  Now what I'm getting is

chumby:/mnt/storage/web# bin/ts_calibrate
Couldnt load module input
No raw modules loaded.
ts_config: Success

Doesn't matter which file I uncomment in ts.conf, I always get the same error.

I have mine installed on my storage and i run mine from the control panel!

Hey MattDog,

What are you doing to launch from the control panel?  Did you write a control panel yourself?

Scott

Does anyone know of there is a way to invoke a screensaver when using this Web Browser?  I have successfully installed the full screen version that was posted in this thread, but it would be nice to have the screen go blank after a few minutes of idle.  Is this possible?

Thanks

How do you know which firmware(?) you are running. My touch is not working correctly how do I update to 1.0.5?
Edit....
Found the file, touchscreen still not right.

I just checked mine and I got versions:  (This is on the smaller 3.5" infocast model bought just last week)
SW=1.0.7
HW=10.7
FW=1.0.3454
