Looks like the kernel is filtering out random readings from the touchscreen, which is very useful as my hand shakes a bit when I use the stylus. > I haven't found any PIM, that is good enough for me in Gentoo portage, > so I am going to write one myself someday. Personally, I prefer to write things on bits of paper - I'm old-fashioned that way. An mp3 player would get a higher priority in my list. :) > You can download wpa_supplicant binary from > ftp://kmeaw.com/pub/iwmmxt/net-wireless/wpa_supplicant-0.6.0.tbz2 Thanks - I've downloaded it and will be trying it later. > > Bluetooth works - I did an 'hcitool scan' and it found my phone, > > although hcitool got stuck and needed to be ctrl-c'd. > You can also do scans from fvwm-ipaq bluetooth menu.

(whistle) Regarding booting over NFS, is it just a matter of adding 'root=/dev/nfs nfsroot= .. ip = ...' to the kernel on bootup?
