RE: [iPAQ] touch screen/alternate input mechanism

The touchscreen driver has been completely _rewritten_ for the
2.4.7-rmk3-np1-devfs-hh9 version of the kernel. In fact, the
touchscreen and the buttons on the iPAQ worked fine before the rewrite
--- a lot of the changes went to making the code thread safe and
factoring the underlying hardware so we could support the H38xx iPAQs.

Calibrated input from the touchscreen can be read directly from
/dev/touchscreen/0. Keypresses can be read from /dev/touchscreen/key or
from the console device.

I understand from the handhleds.org wiki that you are currently working
on
the touch screen driver for linux on teh iPAQ.
Could you please tell me:
1. is this is project completed/nearing completion
2. what is the alternate way of taking input currently? is it using the
navigation button?
