I'm using a FreeRunner, with Qt-Extended on the flash but mainly using Debian on the microSD. Currently I'm experimenting with SHR as well.
I'm in Boston.
If you have a question or suggestion for me, feel free to leave it on the talk page here or contact me by email and more. I'm also in #openmoko, #openmoko-cdevel, and #openmoko-debian as johnsu01.
I'm blogging a bit about my experiences and hacking on the FreeRunner at http://journal.wjsullivan.net. Posts tagged with "freerunner" are syndicated to http://planet.openmoko.org.

I'm currently using it without a SIM with:
I'm using bluez 4.27 compiled from source, and bluetooth-gnome 1.8 also compiled from source.
I'm using xserver-xglamo.
This is proving difficult. epdfview reports a .gz pdf file as "encrypted" and asks for a password. I guess it doesn't handle gzipped files. After gunzipping it, I was able to open the file, but as soon as I try to go to the next page with Page Down, it segfaults. Trying to read the same PDF (the Debian Policy Guide) with evince results in an error about not being able to allocate sufficient resources. xpdf crashes as well. Is this PDF just too big?
I tried the delicious extension but it seems to make things too slow. I might try again. The reason I'm using iceweasel instead of midori is because I'm hoping that one of the mouse gesture extensions will be useful.
Boot time is currently about 3 minutes. Nearly a full minute of that is exim, so I'm going to look for alternatives there. Also, I'm currently starting mpd and mpdscribble at boot, which I will stop by writing a shell script that starts them if they are not already started when I actually open the music player.
My /etc/modules:
snd-soc-neo1973-gta02-wm8753 g_ether bluetooth bnep ohci-hcd hci_usb
My .Xresources:
UXTerm*font: -bitstream-terminal-bold-r-normal--18-140-100-100-c-110-iso8859-1 UXTerm*background: black UXTerm*foreground: cyan XTerm*font: -bitstream-terminal-bold-r-normal--18-140-100-100-c-110-iso8859-1 XTerm*background: black XTerm*foreground: cyan
My .gtkrc-2.0:
gtk-font-name = "Sans 6" style "scroll" { GtkScrollbar::slider-width = 25 } class "*" style "scroll"
(The small font and the large scroll bar are to help cope with dpi issues that xglamo has right now.)
Well, the first test did not go well. It looks nice and feels snappy, but it froze up completely within a few minutes of use. I had to remove the battery and reboot. Also, Midori did not show any address bar, and typing C-l did not help. So I was unable to actually enter a web address to browse to.
