Re: Angstrom Opie 1.2.3 testing

Upon playing with mine I found that I had my alarm volume set to zero.  When 
turned back up and tested the hx4700 powers up and sounds the alarm.   From 
what I can tell all the power management stuff appears to work fine.  The 
only hardware oddities are the mis-mapped button directions and some network 
module details.

I've played around a little with it and for the most part it's working well.

The networking works but seems to behave a little oddly (even for Opie).  I've 
seen times when the network light stayed lit after a power down???  I assume 
that's not good for power consumption.  I've not had time to really play 
around and find out if it's opie or just some configuration.  In older Opie 
Familiar releases my Access Point list button has always worked.  In this one 
I've not seen it correctly give me a list of visible access points?  The Opie 
Network app (in this and prior releases) gets confused at times, generally 
after a failure to start.  When in the confused state it seems to still show 
the signal levels and such, but you're not able to start or stop the device 
using the GUI.  That behavior still seems to exist in this version, plus the 
access point list hasn't shown anything useful yet.

I'm having a hard time switching over to this release completely because of 
the missing PyQt for Opie.  The bitbake recipe for PyQt is for the nice new 
X11 Qt4 base one that I really wish I could use, but can't seem to make 
friends with the X11 PDA interface.  I'll try again this weekend, but so far 
I've not been able to get an opie-image to build correctly, so I really can't 
start on trying to make a PyQt for Opie yet.
