It's distant future - about a month, but it's worth to plan a little.
Well, I've been in touch with Sebastian and he's working on N950 kernel and using Debian for testing. I've decided to wait for his patches to go into mainstream and add support for N9 where appropriate. At the moment not much is there, but it's being worked on. Also his approach to display is much better in the long run than mine (https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/ke...h=n950-display) - he's using omapdrm but w/o PVR drivers. When these go in, I'll try to add support for N9 display and patch PVR kernel "shim driver" to use that one instead of omapfb. He's also being optimistic regarding charging support w/o bme - that one would be really good.

At this point your best bet would be using his n950-display branch to see if you can get anything displayed on N950. My dropbox contains fairly fresh patchset for mainline but that would be for N9 only (no n950 display support).
