[FSO] Stability and other problems

[Andrew Chu]

Hi Christoph,

You could try the "Option 2" instructions found on the wiki: 
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Qtopia_/_Qt_Extended_on_FreeRunner and see 
if that works.  If it does, other users could benefit if you update the 
wiki to reflect any changes to the procedure you had to make.

Cheers,
Andrew
