Tried the latest 3.5.4.1 kernel with gpe on my akita. Didn't realise that the zImage file needs to be zImage.bin for akita instead of plain zImage like in Collie.
Once I got that right, everything went smoothly.
Great job CoreDump! Everything felt like 2~3 times faster than the Cacko 1.23 rom I am currently using.
I also tried RC5 on the Collie and now it has no more visible problems.
One thing I noticed about the rotation thingie. When I rotate my Akita to inverted portrait, the cursor keys remained unmapped to the new orientation. Other than that, everything was swell! Very fast!
btw, can I use the efonts*.ipk files in the hentges rom like I did for Cacko to display Chinese characters? I currently have MurphyTalk and efonts installed on my Cacko for Chinese input and reading. Any tips for that? Thanks!
