Re: [jornada] Jornada 720 getting 2.6

Hello,

I had Opie running too. But keyboard is not working with kernel 2.4, because
Qt/E does not use the fb/console kbd but reads the raw keycodes. The
compiled-in keymap within Qt/E was for standard 101 keymap, I think. And the
Jornada has a special keymap. This issue should be gone with Qt/E 2.3.10,
according to Mickey from Opie, and the corresponding Opie parches (I could
only find a patch for qt/e 2.3.9 but that also seems to include FB console
kbd driver) because the Opie developers wrote an FB keyboard driver.

Cannot await to play with the new kernel :)

Regards,
Lorant
