I have acess to an old n900 with no LCD (but working touchscreen and audio/video out). Was wondering if there is a way to have the phone running as a DLNA client only, with no GSM features etc. Like a Live XBMC client running on it to recieve DLNA streams via wifi to leave permanently connected to my sound system?

There is no installation needed.
Open the mediaplayer and you will see the media servers.
(If your LCD is broken you can use a little TV as screen.)

if you can install host mode and the keboard/mouse packages from devel, you would be able to use a wireless keyboard and mouse.
i have tried this using s Mythtv 0.24 server as a server, and it works great.

I dont want the phone sending out any GSM signals and to be as low power as possible when in standby mode. Is there a way to disable the mobile transmitter from kernel? but keep wifi alive

Take out your GSM card.
That's all!

tablet mode works good for wifi use only. A note firewalls can block media clients, so you may need to temporarly setup firewall in learn mode.
