Re: roms stopped working

Hi folks

Matt, how the heck are ya?  Unknown to you, you played a big role in me 
getting around my problem.

I think I screwed up the flash tools on my linux box.  When I remembered dt 
had a Dos/Win incarnation, I went looking for it and found it on Matt's ftp 
site.

Folks, if anyone else is using the Helio pda, take a look at Matt's ftp 
site.  He's archived just about everything Helio related.

BTW Matt, let me know if you've got to take that server down.  I'd want to 
keep copies of all that stuff.

Matt do you or anyone else have the stuff used to build a working Helio rom? 
  Not the tools to make the image, the files that actually make up the 
image.  If so, could you send them to me?  I'd like to link the keyboard app 
and my pim app with it and do some further development.

Anyway, dos/win dt lets me flash roms to the Helio.  So I'm back to my 
original problem - trying to build a Helio version of pgserver and cli_c 
from the picogui-0.43 source.

On the Helio, my recompiled pgserver/cli_c won't start.  I turned on 
"debugging  on init" in the profile and executing pgserver at the shell 
prompt says:

pgserver_init:
operating system initpgserver_init:
configuration filespgserver_init:
command linepgserver_init:
error message tablepgserver_init:
input drivers*** ERROR (BADPARAM) : Nonexistant input driver

What's the input driver for the Helio?  There are none checked in 
profile.helio.

Also, CONFIG_OS_POSIX was missing from pgserver/profiles/profile.helio.  
What else is missing?  Did the  profile file format change and is that 
screwing up the archived profiles?
