[iPAQ] Re: [Familiar] stowaway coexisiting with QPE/Qtopia? (again..)

You do not have to redirect the console at all from its default, contrary to
advice that's been published here, to get the stowaway keyboard to work.
I've only ever redirected the console for debugging purposes; otherwise, I
leave it pointed at the serial port. I have yet to have a single problem. As
long as the line in inittab that runs getty is commented out, it should Just
Work(tm).

What I *do* still have issues with is using the keyboard after a suspension;
but then, *none* of the services that use the usb/serial port (including usb
ethernet) seem to survive suspension.
