Hi,

I have built a new familiar 0.8 image for the jornada 56x. It uses the kernel
2.6.10 and opie 1.1.8.

known bugs:
Software bugs:
- Opie will crash after the first touchscreen calibration.
 use "/etc/init.c/opie start" to start it again
Kernel bugs:
- suspend/resume is definitely broken and won't work
- the old known bugs like backlight flickering, missing sound,
 unknown ac status, missing irda etc... still exist

you can find the new image at http://handhelds.org/~chicken/oe , there is also
a ipk feed with additional packages. Networking works through USB or any
linux supported CF card.

It would be a piece of cake to fix the last remaining kernel bugs if HP would
send me some further information about the Jornada 56x system layout, but I
still did not get any info.... grrrrrrrr :(
I could also add screen and CF support to the bootloader with that info...

I'm still hoping that HP will be more liberal in the future and give us the
required sheets.

kind regards,
Alex
