I'm sorry for that, it's a jest (an arrow of outrageous fortune ) that just the device of the man wh brought us debian, openoffice and all those goodies refuses to work properly.

I don't know if the flasher image of 51-1 is already there, but might be the time to start over with your Maemo rootfs... Out of curiosity: is the device you kept the one you got in Amsterdam, or a more recent one? Might the problem stay in hardware??
