Skry had one accelerated driver for the 3.5 kernel in the arch thread, but my experience with it was not stable, so I migrated to fbdev.

What is the way (in the meantime) use software openGL? E.g. I tested

This reminds me that I have to check if battery charges on debian!

I think I soon need this (when libmatchbox2 takes turn).
Did you try something like "DISPLAY=:0 startx" (or maybe even export the DISPLAY variable set to :0 before starting X)? I remember having similar problems on Raspberry Pi at some point with Raspbian (but either I changed something in config files permanently and don't remember or the newer version of Raspbian is configured differently, because I cannot reproduce it now).

edit: on my other machine (home server) I get similar output (unable to start X) unless I type on my home computer "ssh -X server_ip", but then it starts X remotely on the screen of my home computer. If I find a moment, I'll try debug that and give you more useful information, but just wanted to step in now and note that this may not be related to Debian/N900, but it might be either generic Debian problem (my server runs Debian) or generic Linux/X.org/ssh problem.

I just tried to plug in charger but it seems that isn't charging because the led is continous yellow... not blinking. The device is a bit warmer than when running maemo. It has been 4 hours since i boot jessie but it stayed almost all that time on idle. Lets see how long time the bl-5j will last.

kernel-power (by Pali) has in-kernel charging (and it works

Obviously, the kernel being used here is not kernel-power, but perhaps includes the necessary modules/patches to make it work. Can't check now, but the module was bq2415x_charger.

Somebody with debian running on the N900 could try: modprobe bq2415x_charger and see what happens.

Hey, solid yellow IS the in-kernel charging. BME does the blinking, but we don't need BME
Please report if you can figure out whether the battery is charging or not.

My (short) experience[*] with this is that the battery actually charges but much more slowly than normal, but that may have been due to a faulty USB port.

No output here...
Code:
lsmod |grep bq2415x_charger
returns:
Code:
bq2415x_charger       14125  0

Thanks for the info Is there any way to check if its charging without boot maemo ?

Im pretty sure it charges.I booted up jessie with two wires connected to my battery terminals.while voltage was 2.75 it went up to 2.85 when the charger connected (every time) and led solid yellow.I know its a little difference (100mv) but i think is enough for its voltage.

My n900 have been running jessie on couple of last days all the time attached to the charger. Led is orange/yellow as stated earlier.

Now I booted it to the maemo and detached charger. Battery is fully charged.

I also have the same issue with the charging LED in my build. It definitely does charge and also the kernel seems to know when it's fully charged so it's unlikely that there's a risk overcharging our batteries. You can find battery info under /sys/class/power_supply/bq27200-0. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this but I get a kernel panic when I plug in the wall charger directly into the mains. Charging works fine however when connecting a USB cable to the USB port of my PC. I'm using freemangordon's 3.14-rc3 kernel by the way.

My main issues right now are that I've not yet got USB networking to work, the keyboard mapping doesn't work under E17 (even though it works fine on the console) but the most critical issue that I don't have a solution for something equivalent to Maemo's xprot to prevent blowing up the speakers.

I'm hoping to create a Git repo for my scripts within the next few days once I've tidied up a few things and done a bit more testing.
