I didn't get any answer to this question. Maybe they don't want to
spread technical information like that...

And -finally- would like to ask you the Big Videogames Question...
is there a mode to use directly video/pointer/sound of the P900
without waiting for operating system times? I mean:
a) writing directly to screen memory like the old DOS times:
char *p=0xa0000000; p[177]=23; // write a pixel in screen memory
b) reading directly pointer position like the in old DOS times:
if(pressed()) { x=xpos(); y=ypos(); do_hit_here(x,y); }
c) emitting a predefined Midi note like the old DOS times:
midi_out(22, 11, 33);
d) getting precise timing to wait for sprite movement:
now=jiffies();
I don't care about compatibility issues or battery draining (due to
continuous loop of checking for user input and similar things). I had
a look at the "direct access to screen" sections of the Symbian/UIQ
development kit documentation pages, but I can't figure out how to do
what described before.
Those four operations (well, at least the first two) would allow to
recycle a bunch of old DOS VGA 320x200 game sources.
