Re: 2.6 kernel on iPAQ 5500

Hi Philip,

I am trying to make the screen (and prefereably also touchscreen) work,
but so far with no results.

I think you meant h5400_lcd.c, thather than lcd_h5400.c. I compiled both
mq1100fb.c and h5400_lcd.c as modules, but when modprobed, nothing
happened. Ok, the screen blinked, but I could not start gpe. How do I
find out if it works? So far I have been looking for /dev/fb/0, which
does not show up. I also installed devfsd, but /dev/fb/0 still does not
show up.
I also have modprobed pxafb and mq11xx_base. What other modules do I need?

I tried this without a working screen. When modprobing samcop_ts, the
device stopped responding.

You said things worked/should work. Have you tried it on an iPAQ? If
yes, could you share your .config?

Should I try the CONFIG_IPAQ_SHAMCOP and related drivers?
