(I've finally merged most of the patches I got, thank you!)

Hi javispedro,
Thank you for continuing to develop and support this package, it is very much appreciated.

I don't understand what you mean by

. More specifically, what am I to do so that "libsdlpre.so" from 0.1.1 is kept around (and does it not have a newer version). I hope this makes sense.

Cheers,

Simple answer = "no" as the Palm doesn't have a hardware keyboard, none of the games will be coded to use it.

But is there a feature coming in future Preenv releases that might support some kind of keyboard->touchscreen mapping? Only Javispedro knows...

Keep the 0.1.1 package around.... as some games break.

"The Palm" DOES have a hardware keyboard, and it works...

Re: Palm Pre gets SDL! native gaming

hey javis - any plans to use the keyboard to get around multitouch issues on games ? something configurable users can play around with themselves to fake multi touches on a screen coordinate or something.

thanks again - you have already great already and I wish you will put a paypal button up. I think you will get more donations then you think.
