[iPAQ] writing graphical software for iPAQ

Ok, I already went through some options on writing the software and
finally came to the solution on using Linux, since it's the fastest and
the most free way.
Now these are very basic questions, but I couldn't really find answers to
them anywhere - and the link to gnu toolchain was down too.

As I understand, I first have to install the Linux for both the iPAQ and
my PC and I know where to find the instructions to do that. Now, once I
download the gnu toolchain I can write software on the PC, right? Can I
use gas or is it just pure C? Any documents out there on using the
hardware directly (I know I've asked this already. I still need to know).
Do I need X to use graphics? How about sound? I pressume the
ActiveSync-program can still be used to transfer stuff from PC to iPAQ,
or?

I've also not quite figured out how you're supposed to use Linux with a
touch pad, but of course this will reveal itself to me eventually once I
get it installed.
