I did slip to another project, but good that the i2c probe did find your chip.

Altough offtopic;
I just got one OLED display connected to the phone

EDIT: MOVED to own thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=92239

Good work! Perhaps good to put it in a separate thread with instructions?

Kimmo, can these commands or your program be modified to read out my chip?

The TCA8424 documentation says:

I can tweak something to view contents of input report... (for starters)

I made some googling about this, and found your good questions in various forums :)

Yes I have been asking around. I just don't get that when the phone was announced everyone was shouting "qwerty slider!!" and when there almost is a working prototype it becomes very silent :p

That would be awesome! The chip is still on 0x3B.

If I've read it correctly, on a keypress this should happen:

-key press
-key release
-the chip stores the most recent key press
-this is stored on input report
-the chip sends out an interrupt signal
-phone notices interrupt
-the phone uses get_report to read the input report
-phone read input report
-the interrupt signal is killed and input report is cleared by resetting the chip
-start over
