Thanks for useful feedback.

The old packaging was kind of strange: it installed two different binaries, one to "/opt/gpspm/gpspm", the other to "/opt/maemo/usr/games/gpspm", for a reason unknown to me.

I don't have the foggiest idea why (were I sleepwalk-hacking gpspmgui and I don't remember? ), but gpspmgui on my device was using "/opt/gpspm/gpspm". I looked at the source and it should be "/opt/maemo/usr/games/gpspm". After reinstalling it indeed tries to launch "/opt/maemo/usr/games/gpspm".

I'll include the necessary symlink in the next package.

Did you mean "not to scale correctly"? For me they're scaled, even too much (to 480x800). It was kind of planned, but the keypad should be on the bottom layer. However, now that I think of it again, probably no one would want to play with the image stretched so much. I guess I'll make fullscreen look in portrait the same as double and triple zoom.

Do you have camkeyd installed? I can't live without it. Also in this case it does a great job. If you were not aware of camkeyd, do you still think that the a close button would have a good traumatic accidents to usability ratio? Double tap might still be not enough in fierce fights.

Is there any other problem apart from that they're all root, so gpspmgui can't write to them? gpspmgui's post-installation script changes them to 666/777 anyway, so I guess that even though there's a conflict with the perfectionistic side of me, I can do that in gpspm's postinst too. As another thing to ease updates, the next package will probably be able to preserve configured keys.

I think I'll put my hands on gpspmgui next, mainly to move the settings/BIOS directory somewhere to $HOME, but on the way I could also modify the layouts and add autorotation.
