Re: curious

Hi,
Damien is right, there's no problem on booting linux on a 1900 but it
don't run propertly. I've some problems centering the tough-screen and
the funcionality is not as good as I'd like, but we have linux :D. Now
I'm compiling familiar 0.8.0 for arm pxa, because I've seen that the
one aquadran used was ¿0.7? I'm not sure , there's a file in /etc
directory where the version is. Well as i said I'm compiling now gpe
for arm pxa (familiar) because in #oe (irc.freenode.com) a guy told me
that in version 0.8.x touchscreen is controled by a library and you
can configure it using a conf file so I hope that it will solucionate
the problem, however I dont know if what is happening on my
touchscreen with aquadran's linux is normal.

Damien I'd thank u if you send me the conf files of your kernel, :D
