Re: RE: GPE image for the HTC Universal

Here I am again...
I reinstalled GPE (twice - the first time after the first boot I got a
completely black screen).

Still the same problems - portrait orientation only, no touchscreen,
unable to connect to the wireless network as before.
 
I am sure I am doing something stupid during the installation.

This is what I am doing:

o boot the ramdisk
o mount the sdcard
o wipe out the existing installation
o untar the files
o sync
o reboot
o boot from the sdcard
o wait... GPE boots, I see the splash in portrait mode, after a while
messages on the screen (cannot connect to the wireless net)
o i get the first time setup with wrong orientation and no touchscreen

Any idea?
