What's the difference with this one? The release info seems identical to the previous one. Does this fix the touchscreen for homebrew?

Good question. Can somebody please test this out. I'm sorry I can't test this new firmware at the moment...

I tryed this new firmware but still don't work homebrew that provide touch screen.
We must wait next update.

 

[sbock]

Ah, thanks for this information. I guess we should now bet on notaz solution...

Not in this life.

i just tested this 4.1.1 firmware. touch screen works fine in original frontend, but doesn't work with homebrew applications - same situation as with 4.0.2 and 4.1.0.

They don't say if you have to upgrade from 4.0.2 or if you may upgrade from 4.1.0 ?
Did someone try this ? 4.1.0 -> 4.1.1 ?

According to a mail I got from GPH, that update should fix the touchscreen issue... weird.

I'm wondering the same thing...

The touchscreen seems to be exported exactly the same way as in 4.1.0.
Maybe it works using their SDL libs, but they don't understand that nobody is using them. My hack works with this version too, BTW.

Did someone try this ? 4.1.0 -> 4.1.1 ?

yes, it worked, but I can't see any difference from 4.1.0, except the version number change.

But will it make my F100 mark 1 melt all over this beautiful carpet?

yes, i upgraded from fixed 4.1.0 to 4.1.1, and this update works just fine. touch screen works correctly in GP2X frontend, but not in homebrew applications.

I stopped upgrading at 2.1.1 and I think Ill stay there. Id rather not confuse my F100 with touchscreen issues. Sometimes...upgrading just does not make sense anymore (Im looking at you GPH and MS VISTA).

Edit: Haha...I just noticed my (rather old) signature down there. How ironic...

This firmware is for F-200 only. Many new F-200 users with a MK2 unit wait for a working touchscreen solution for homebrew apps from GPH. For them a new firmware is significant.
For the F-100 you're right: The 2.1.1 is definitively the best and recommended firmware.
