I’ve put up a new version of qdasher (qdasher-20061124.tar.gz), the Qt4 port of Dasher. I’ve managed to get it down to about 20% CPU usage when running in fullscreen on my standard Pentium IV machine. It runs nice and smooth on our embedded hardware. If dasher is paused, no CPU cycles will be wasted (unless you move the mouse around).
If you have an LSB compliant i386 system (with the LSB Qt4 module installed), grab the binary and try it out. I also created a package for the Greenphone (QDasher_1.0.0-1_arm.ipk).

Nice! I wonder if it’d be possible to get this into the Dasher distribution. Maybe another coup for Qt? (VLC is switching to Qt as well).
Very nice!
Sorry for not downloading and checking myself; is there any integration with the accessibility layers Qt has yet?
Thomas: Nope, not yet. There’s some experimental Qtopia input method support, so you can pop it up and write your SMS with it, though 
Leo: The Qt binding is not there to rule the world, I’m more a peaceful coexistence guy 
Will play more with it and then announce it on the dasher mailing-list.
