Make CyberJack drivers issue a key-press confirmation beep

This is a very useful feature, especially for blind people. Unfortunately there is no unique way of issuing some beep sound on Linux-based systems, so there needs to be some magic that determines whether running under X11 or not and call the appropriate code for beeping.

Successful TomTom Visit

As indicated before, TomTom B.V. has invited Christian and me to visit them at their offices. Apart from some consulting/training regarding Free Software Licenses and the Free Software Community, they were particularly interested in getting us involved with their Linux kernel related development.

I stressed the fact that it is very important to clean up all the drivers, make them use standard interfaces and eventually get them merged to the mainline kernel. As it seems, they agree and want to contract one or some of the OpenTom developers to do so.

Leaving for Linux-Bangalore/2004

I'm at the moment packing my suitcase, and I'll be sitting in the plane about 24 hours from now. Do not expect any fast email replies or IRC presence of me before December 9th.
