please cf. attachment. MTYPE 709 is most likely ill-chosen.

       Should go to haret at handhelds.org, forwarded. What worries me
is that OEM string doesn't contain model number. Hope we'll be able to
distinguish from other looxes. And yep, MTYPE=709 is for hx2000, for
loox400 its 682. Note that numerics are rather arbitrary - what's
important is that ID passed from bootloader corresponds with one for
which kernel is built. For a list, see arch/arm/tools/mach-types is
kernel source.

Best Regards,
