In fact I have not tried this yet. However I was able to start weston on the n900:

Code:

apt-get install weston glx-alternative-mesa libgl1-mesa-swx11

but using the fbdev backend:

Code:

root@n900:~# cat .config/weston.ini 
[keyboard]
keymap_layout=us

[launcher]
icon=/usr/share/icons/gnome/24x24/apps/utilities-terminal.png
path=/usr/bin/weston-terminal

[launcher]
icon=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/24x24/apps/firefox.png
path=/usr/bin/iceweasel

[output]

[core]
modules=desktop-shell.so
backend=fbdev-backend.so

Very crude but works :-)

Could someone comment on userland tools that we can use with the kernel SGX driver?

I'm not sure how are you supposed to get it (I don't know what packages are those things in), but you would have to:
1. load kernel drivers
2. start "powervr" service (search the arch tread - http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=81892 - for details, they must be somewhere there... or ping Skry directly maybe... and about where to get them from - I guess one of MeeGo packages for N900 has them, I had some links back in the days, but wiki.meego.com seems dead, so I cannot give you anything more, sorry

)
3. I guess you should change the "fbdev-*" stuff in some config files to some other value (however I'm not sure about that).

Just stepping in to post this: http://upstream-tracker.org/ maybe it can be helpful in recompiling maemo stuff against jessie libs

Credit goes to Pali at http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...4&postcount=25 for reminding me of this website.

I posted Mer links for packages the other day, should be pretty interchangeable.

Is it possible to map a key or key combination to call up the power button menu?

You mean maemo power button menu? I think you would need to compile it and run the deamon first... ;p

For anyone wanting to activate the power button functionality in Debian, install acpi-support-base (which will also install acpid). This will set the default behaviour to shut down the OS. You can then edit /etc/acpi/events/powerbtn-acpi-support if you want to change the behaviour so that it does something else.

I must apologise once again for not yet delivering. I've been extremely busy the last 3 weeks taking a course (I've not even been able to watch nearly as many World Cup matches as I would've liked!). I should have some free time next week though that I will use to integrate freemangordon's latest kernel and finish off testing.

[EDIT]
PM me if you want an early preview.

[/EDIT]

[EDIT2]
I never managed to get that free time and won't have any for at least a couple of weeks.
