Hi everyone, I recently came across the GP2X from a topic on the Gentoo Linux forum, and it looks really really cool. After doing some research, I wanted to ask a few questions before I bought one.
1. How hard is this to take apart? I'd like to paint the case because I don't think black would appeal to me very much, and the whitish version shown in some pictures looks even worse. I'm sure this would void the warranty, but that's fine. And while I'm at it, I'll probably buy the other joystick from DaveC and add that as well.
2. Would a wireless adapter work for the USB slot if we were given the kernel source so we could then compile support for it in? I'd like to browse the web via the GP2X if possible, just cause that's cool.
3. I've heard of a problem with someone connecting via USB 2.0 under Linux, he had to disable the ehci driver so it would only operate at USB 1.1, is there some known problem with that?
4. SD cards, in the SD card compatibility thread that's stickied, it says that 2 gig and higher capacities aren't supported yet, is that only with old firmware, and if so, if I bought one now, would it already include firmware that supported SD cards that are 2 gigs or higher?
Thanks for any advice given.
Looks like a great system, and for less than $200 to boot.
