Re: Keypebble

I've got keypebble to the stage where I want it but, as usual, I can't
submit to CVS. Also, my opie build environment isn't working properly ATM
(probably out of date) so anything I build for an opie target segfaults. I
got around this by adding a SHARPROM #define and testing on a device with
the Sharp ROM on but it doesn need building/testing on an opie device (TBH,
it looks like a problem I had before where the gridlayout constructor needs
the number of columns and rows specified but since this is coming from
designer I'm not sure how to fix it).

Anyway, if anyone is interested, I've put it up at:

http://www.timwentford.uklinux.net/keypebble.tar.gz

You'll need to get the .pro files etc. from the opie CVS.

I'd be especially interested if anyone can get an opie build working and in
how the "auto" encoding mechanism works out.
