RE: [iPAQ] v.17 - New Features?

Things added to 2-50 with Linux-2.4.0-test8-rmk5-np2.

   PCMCIA fixed 802.11 works thanks to Vlad.
   75dpi X fonts added
   chimera added
   xmessage added.
   serial mouse driver added.
   gtk_imlib fixes.
   updated kernel.
   xvkbd added.
   touch screen calibration removed from startup and added to the menus.
   the screen rotates. This is not perfect but we are working on it.

Many other fixes

I will post to list tomorrow when all the changes are in and move into the
beta phase.
