Mer on Nexus7

DISCLAIMER: This project is not endorsed or supported by any company. This is purely a community based effort.

This page describes the running Mer on Nexus 7 (see Community_Workspace/Tegra3 for commong Tegra3 stuff).

The hardware adaptation is maintained in the project [1]

The Plasma active instructions are quite generic and can be easily adapted to other images as well.

Workarounds

Keyboard

If you have issues with the default keyboard you should give this one a try: To install it just:

  zypper ar -G http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/wonko:/branches:/Project:/KDE:/Trunk:/Testing/CE_UX_PlasmaActive_armv7hl/home:wonko:branches:Project:KDE:Trunk:Testing.repo
  zypper up maliit-active libmaliit-quick
  killall -9 maliit-server

Nemo Mobile

Most things should work but virtual keyboard doesn't, which renders everything unusable. The screen shows just black when the keyboard is visible. The same symptom is seen also in Virtual Machines and was fixed by workarounding something in Mesa (which is of course not used on Tegra).

See Community_Workspace/Tegra3/Nexus7/EGL_NOK_issues for details.

According to IRC, "eglext-tests" package provides tests. At least the following extensions are missing according to the tests and claimed to be used somewhere in Mer or Nemo:

• EGL_NOK_image_shared
• EGL_NOK_swap_region2
• EGL_KHR_lock_surface2
