Thanks for that; it's good to know I wasn't just forgetting to do
something! I found your post from April about kbdd, so I've gotten the
tarball. I couldn't find any ipkgs of either kbdd or the uinput kernel
module, so I guess the time has come to try the how-tos on compiling for
the ipaq! If anyone has ipkgs for these, please let me know :)
When/if I do get it working, I'll be happy to help with testing/feedback
on the mapping- I have an English keyboard, so it may not be all that
useful to you

Thanks again
Darren
