first time it booted, it stuck on the line printed before INIT, but this time looks better.

--edit-- hm, doesn't seem to suspend. is that normal?


memo to self: fix wonky LCD cable!

It suspended for me using the menu (QPE, or Opie); not with the button. Comes out of suspend via the button, however.

Still no access to increasing / decreasing backlight via settings on either opie or gpe, haven't tested sound through alsa(mixer, player, etc...), but wifi is working (open network at least)!

I'll have to look upon this.

I've committed the fix for the opie to .dev branch to support backlight setting. I'll have to look into GPE, but that may need time, as I'm more dedicated to opie for now. The patch should be
pretty easy though (check opie commit).
