  Hello Paul

First of all I would like to give thanks to you and Manuel Aguilar for 
your help.

I tried many thinks... but finally, I successfully installed the version 
0.8.4
on my IPAQs HP 5550.
In fact, from my successive attempts installing this version, and despite I
correctly calibrated the screen on first boot... the screen remains out of
alignment after the next reboot.

To correct that, after first boot screen alignment, I recalibrated the 
screen
immediately after. And then, the screen alignment is correctly stored.
Strange, no?!
Any case, the operation Paul indicated me to recalibrate the screen also 
provides
a suited way to correct this small bad effect.
Another time, many thanks for your help!!!

To conclude I have a small question: the backlight of one of my two HP 
55xx PDAs
turned off... I don't know if it is an hardware default... or if it can be
reset to come back to a correct state?
Is someone knows some operation or command I can try to turn it on?
In advance many thanks.

    Dominique.
