I'd be interested in collaborating, perhaps starting a project.
I've been going through the patches, lots of work.... but I'm sure it's doable.

Theoretically, you could get dalvik to write to the framebuffer on the n8x0 too.
Displaying to X would probably be valuable to all X windows compatible platforms (other linuxes and unixes, even Macs, which have an X add-on ... and maybe even Windows, if there's X add-ons for that).

And yes, both my NT boxes are running X servers. Cygwin's the only thing that makes sitting in front of NT all day bearable.

But I'd be surprised if your task was as easy as you think it is; for example, what do you do if the same code has been modified by both Nokia and Google? Whose code do you take?

I'm so very much out of my depth here; but I'm looking forward to seeing what the True Coders here can do... Like I said, I'd be very interested in the half-way point, the new kernel with the Nokia patches applied. I can see all sorts of reasons why that might be very very valuable, not least of which is that, if I were Nokia, and I were developing a new OS for a new, powerful platform I was building, I'd probably start with a newer kernel. And it seems to me that having that newer kernel also running on older Nokia devices might be a step in the right direction to backporting some, if not all, of the new OS (especially important, low level stuff) to the older devices...
