hmm, yes I saw that too that the whole R3912 tree is
not going anywhere, agenda got its audio driver
though, CCYAU said he had access to vtech's routines,
now I'll see VT-OS sources on the weekend for some
hints.

perfect. I'll add some documentation and will try to
search for a flowchart that I posted to a pocket linux
guy when I did everything to get their stuff compiled
in vain.

This reminds me again of pocketlinux as the guy I
contacted told me that the guy who knows how to
'compile' for the helio is away.
well at least they sent me a helio all the way to
Pakistan (Asia) for free :) in the maiden contest
where I proposed GPS and GSM connectivity, well I lost
my GPS reciever which was given to me by my
ex-employer, but a Laptop sending fake NMEA codes to
the helio can also be used.

for an iPAQ, agenda etc it does not appeal cuz they
dont have dedicated HRW area, but about helio this
always felt me working on a 160x120 pixel screen, so
as soon as I saw the code I said... WOW! thats exactly
what I love about LINUX, you want a feature? make it
so!
and suddenly at least someone will like it too.
