Basically I boot the GTA04, then I've some problems with the
touchscreen and suspend/resume:
The way to get touchscreen somehow working is the following:
* press the POWER button to suspend
* press the AUX button to resume
Then the touchscreen works, so you try to unlock, but at that point
trebuchet(the launcher) crashes...
I suspect that the mainline wakelock implementation is not sufficent...

Beside it always try to suspend, I know where but I didn't figure out
how to fix it yet...I must look...(I was busy with the FOSDEM).

yes I tried it in order to use libertas_tf_sdio in order to have access
point, the firmware is available on gumstix mailing list, however there
is no license attached to it and it's non-free...
