This is problematic, if the power button is pressed while the phone is in the pocket. Maybe it would be possible to boot the kernel, gsm and X, then display a button for emergency calls while the rest (bluetooth, wifi and user interface stuff) is starting up. If the user presses the emergency call button the bootprocess stops/pauses and a menu like this shows up: 911 999 112 Continue booting Fabian _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
