Thanks! I'll have a look at it as soon as possible. Good idea to
create a build script, I was too lazy to do that...

By looking at your build script, I see that you still use the
"ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-linux-" environment variables
when you build the kernel. That isn't necesarry anymore (for a long
time), you just have to make sure your toolchain is in the path,
arm-linux- is put in front automatically. In that way people don't
have to install the toolchain in /usr/bin. But adjusting the script is
not that hard off course :-)

I also would put the kernel version (2.6.12-hh2) in a variable, so the
script can very easily be adjusted to a new kernel version.

Did you adjust the h4000_ts driver to use 640x480 coordinates?
Actually, we should modify that module so we can specify that as a
kernel parameter, so we can use the same source for x50 and x50v.

I was just thinking about the touchscreen last night. It shouldn't be
that hard to make this work, right? I mean, it is obvious that the
screen coordinates are just divided by 2. Couldn't we hack the numbers
in /etc/pointercal file to adjust for that? Probably just multiplying
them by 2 won't work, but we can try, right?

Anyway, great work! I hope I have some spare time soon to restart
experimenting myself.

Greetz,
JeDi
