Of course. However I am currently stuck without a working device that exhibits 
this issue, so I would appreciate any help from those who do have such 
devices. In the mean time I guess I can try to just look at odevice* to see 
if there is anything obviously wrong there.

BTW I did try building an Angstrom image for h3900, and it also does not seem 
to be initialising the screen correctly on my h3970 - the backlight comes on 
but otherwise it just stays black. I didn't connect to the serial console to 
see how far it was actually getting. (Not that this is especially important 
to our current discussion.)

OK. To open up an old can of worms, I did read an old comment just the other 
day on the htc-pxa mailing list by Mickey saying that he did not want to go 
back to the confusion of qt and non-qt packages for the same thing. I sort of 
understand this, but where does it leave us with things like roadmap, SDL 
games, etc.? I don't think we can completely eliminate these and still 
provide the applications that users want.

Cheers,
Paul
