Check Kustomizer: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Kustomizer - it'll help you with this.. > I thought the most useful thing for me to do was to load > Om2009 as described at: > http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om2009 > and then test it and report bugs.

And just a reminder, no-one (should have) told you it's ready for normal users, I think it still as a developer device -> it's not as easy to use as your motorola/nokia/smthng. See http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunner_Hardware_Issues#Better_set_of_mixer_settings Buzz: It's a known hardware bug that is fixed by replacing a resistor and adding a capasitor.

Don't think so but let us know if this is the case. > I did look through the > message archive, but didn't find anything useful specifically > geared to the Om2009 distro.
