But with a little patience, and very slowly dragging the stylus the wrong way, I am able to reach and activate the Icons at the top of the login screen before logging in and run the terminal. I thought that was awesome, until I tried modifying the system. Can't use cd to get to /etc because the / character is not accessible. Can't use ifconfig to set the ip address of wlan0 because the numbers are not accessible.

At least now I can access the Reboot icon and not have to pop the battery ...

And I think I figured out what's causing the boot from flash to fail. It seems it works fine if you use the button in the middle of the cursor pad to activate the flash option. But if you use the enter key, it says it's going to boot, and then power-cycles.

I guess I need to give it a rest for a while.
What's the current status on this project? Is the gui working on the n810?
