Snozberry: Fujitsu Stylistic LT

As you may have seen a while back, I had purchased a Compaq iPaq that was going to be the platform for my audio remote control application. I changed my mind; the iPaq's screen was really too small to be of any practical use. You basically couldn't view any web pages except the scaled down front page of Google. The concept is still good, though, so a replacement was in order.

I sold the iPaq on eBay (for more than the purchase price, mind you) and used the proceeds to purchase a used Fujitsu Stylistic LT. It's old, slightly beat up hardware, but it works. Last night I successfully removed its miniature 4GB hard drive and booted it with a linux kernel (2.4.23, if you must know) off a 128MB compact flash card. Tonight, I'm going to build its file system (I think I'm going to use initrd for this) and try to fire up X.

When I get everthing working, I'll make a small HOWTO page and link it from here.

I also purchased a Stylistic LT on eBay. It came with a wiped hard drive, so I had to reinstall w98 and media player. I have since dowloaded about 3 mb of music files, and am satisfied with the results. I hooked an audio cable between it and my stereo system, and it plays back everything well.

My proplem is that I have lost all the Fujitsu drivers, so the touch screen and some other built-in's don't work. Does anyone have know what I need to do to restore these drivers?
