Re: [iPAQ] Re: iPAQ 5400 series and yopy hardware

hi,
I heard from mediaq distributer that new ipaq used MQ1168/1188,
not the old version MQ1132. It's mostly same except video input for
CMOS camera.
and yopy source doesn't seem to implement the graphic engine of MQ.
I'm looking forward this group enhance new ipaq's graphic acceleration.
