Sorry for asking a dumb question, but wouldn't a simple icon with script behind it which enable fast charging be solution to your problem? I made similar hack for GPS unit http://blog.rot13.org/2007/12/openmoko_gps_tracking.html and forget about problems with mapping software on my Neo. > > Strange.

Having ported a thing or two to Windows over the years (using various compatiblity layers from UWIN and Cygwin over VMWare to coLinux) I must admit that it's a pain. Simpliest solution which comes to mind is to use VMWare Player under Windows to setup development enviroment under Linux and connect USB device directly to virtual Linux box. I haven't checked VMWare player support for USB devices, but but similar solution enabled me to deply Linux applicance with ethernet bridging in the past, side-stepping Windows on the way... -- Dobrica Pavlinusic 2share!2flame [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unix addict.
