By The way this is for anyone trying to build there own kernel. These are the patches we have so far needed to get the screen and keyboard working with the lin wizard kernel, here just for future development.

A working kernel with these files built in is already included on the first post.

What can we do with it once we get it installed? Can we run linux apps, or must they be written specifically for the phone?

yah i was able to get into the terminal...thought this had gui but oh well works fine

Got the console to appear fine most of the time and was able to get X11 up and running with xinit on a t-mobile dash. It seems there is no input mapped, so I couldn't really do anything. The usb networking works well and I could establish a telnet session to my device. I was unable to kill X via telnet so I had to remove my battery to stop it from running. Glad that Linux is finally booting on the dash!

Whoa... how did you start x? with just startx? i havent been able to all i get is a black screen.... thats great news.. Ya linwizard was written for the wizard so it expects touchscreen for input, i a have been loking for a dpad controled on screen cursor to use... but no luck.

Sorry for double posting but I cant really double quote using opera mini....

You can run any linux app that will build or a prebuilt bin. and it would have to fit in ram and the ramdisk.

Which reminds me can someone try and mount the sd to see if thats working or not.

Just run "xinit" rather than using the "startx" script, that didn't work for me either. Just running "X" itself also works but obviously has no window manager if you do that.

Also, mounting an mmc card appears to work fine and I was able to get an accurate directory listing in addition to reading data from some files on the card.

sweet, did you try to write? and how are you working around having no \ mapped? can you test switching terminals? ctrl should be tab err i cant remember now its in the boarcd c file but you wouldnt know what the adresses for the keys were.. hmmm well I know the soft keys are f1 and f2 i thought back was esc and sym was ctrl alt is alt but maybe not the actual left_alt... any good with the setkey app?

Actually do you have any messengers.. if so could you msg me? aim blink0ne8d2 yahoo kok187 msn gentoon@gmail.com

Hey Brute Just wondering, I read in your signature... what is the opera mini default browser tweak?
