Opie on Zaurus C3100

As a novice user of OpenZaurus and Opie, I just installed Opie on a
Zaurus C3100, using the 3.5.4.1 release of OpenZaurus and the feeds
predefined in that release.

I have a few problems I can't get over at the moment;

1. The physical keyboard mapping is very poor: the letter keys are
correctly mapped but most punctuation characters and numbers are mapped
to letters.  KeyZ seems to have no effect.

2. I installed opie-login and it seems to be run but there is no login
prompt and opie is running as root.  I configured the login not to be
automatic and restarted Opie, but this had no effect.  Now, on a reboot,
opie-login seems to hang.  I just get a blank screen, so I have had to
remove it.

3.  The Zaurus has a rotating screen that can be changed from a
clamshell configuration to a tablet.  On the native Zaurus O/S, changing
the physical configuration also reconfigures the GUI; how can this be
done in Opie?

Thanks to anyone who can help.
