You will need to build this library, make a ext3 partition, put 1.4.5 on it, put a copy of libx11fb.so in / inside that partition; outside the chroot, run x11fbd -w 320 -h 480, inside the chroot, run the following script:
Code:
export LD_PRELOAD=/libx11fb.so

rm -f /var/run/dbus/pid
dbus-daemon --system --fork
dbus-daemon --session --fork

sleep 1

hidd &
java-serviceboot start &
luna-prefs-service &
BrowserServer &
PmNetConfigManager &
nappmgr &
fileindexer &
extractfs -f /var/luna/data/extractfs &

sleep 3

LunaSysService &
LunaSysMgr &
Boot takes around 80 seconds.

Note that I did this in virtually four days and nearly a year ago. I did it because after that webos on HTC fake news story from XDADevs I wanted to have something to be able to laugh in their faces, but after demoing it on Dublin Meego summit and running it for a while I mostly forgot about the entire thing (and actually never did the laugh in their faces part :P ).

Maybe on the N950 with MT and faster graphics it has more sense.

Hi javispedro,
can you make a more detail description on how to do the
chroot.
I get many errors on starting the webos processes
(like "can not bind to socket")
And are all files within the webos doctor file?
The /var/luna/data/extractfs for example does not exists
in my webos.tar

Maybe now with webOS going open source, we will have interesting staff for porting webOS to n900 ?

I too am very interested to see what useful goodies can be picked out of WebOS.

i copied x11fbd to /home and chmod 755 it. But when I try to execute it it gives syntax error at line 1 - "(" unexpected. The same executable runs fine in ubuntu.

EDIT: Maybe it's not compiled for Arm but for x86 ...
