Re: [iPAQ] Getting my Stowaway keyboard running.

Great, thanks. I can now get the keyboard to work.

I've got two other questions/problems however.

1) I'm now getting console messages over top of my Opie display. I saw
something about setting "console=/dev/null". But, again, I wasn't quite sure
where to add this. I added it to the set linuxargs line as follows:

set linuxargs "noinitrd root=/dev/mtdblock1 init=/linuxrc console=/dev/null"

This changed the output slightly, but it did not fix the problem. Is there
any way to fix it?

2) Do I need to add a script to turn off the keyboard before connecting it
back to my desktop? I tried creating a script as follows:

rmmod h3600_stowaway
telinit 2

But this makes my display go crazy--particularly the keyboard display.

Is there a way to get these scripts to play well with Opie/Qtopia? I'll
probably try experimenting with stopping qpe before and restarting qpe after.
See if that at least clears the console messages from the display. But any
advice would be greatly welcome.
