I was concerned about the thumbpad on the h5x5x. It was pretty unusable.
Some student from the UK sent in a patch which fixed it. Now the
thumbpad is A-OK! The hh41 kernel that shipped with familiar 0.8.4 has
this fix in it.

The vol+ and vol- buttons are already supported by the kernel. Opie just
doesn't recognize them. I was in the middle of putting together a patch
to make them available (note the addition of vol+ and vol- icons in the
head of the cvs repo).

The only thing I have with the patch you sent is that it reroutes
those buttons in the kernel, which is not something I am eager to do.

If you agree I will continue to make the volume keys available in Opie
and add QCop access in volumeapplet. Otherwise, I am reasonable, we can
work out something between what you have in mind and what I have in
mind.

Thanks again!
