Re[2]: [PATCH] libopie2: Initial h4000 support

  No, two different generations of devices: it's actually h*X*4700 vs
(h4150 | h4350). The first is VGA & PXA270, released later, seconds
are QVGA & PXA255, released earlier. Both modelsets have Bluetooth & WiFi
though (not yet fully supported on h4000). By core hardware design
closest to h4000 is h1910, kernel port mostly based on it, and patch I
submitted also follows h1910 changes for Opie.

  Thanks for looking at the patches! I can only second the concern
that to add a new device which almost 100% the same as another already
existing, it requires patchset, recompile, and re-release. It really
would be nice to refactor libopie2, instead of trying to detect each
supported device itself, accept a configuration file on startup,
defining button map, whether it has light sensor, and what handler of
existing to use to read it, etc. And let distribution's startup
scripts supply such a config file suitable for the device model
they run on.


Thanks,
