Re: Goooooood news, touch screen works !

Hi!

The cool thing about linux is that you only need to recompile the source
for executing any app in other hardware, well... the good thing about
linux is that you can compile it for youself :p

So at first if it works on your desktop it should work on the pda if
there isn't any machine specific code on the source.

If you have problems running it you can always try to contact the
developer of the app you need.

I use linux with speakup on my desktop/laptop machines and would love to have linux with speech output (preferably speakup) on the Dell. Does anyone have any idea of the feasibility of this? I figure if speech output can be done under WM2003, it should be possible and better under linux... I suspect that drivers for the speech tts and audio chips will be the hurdle?
