Another good reason for pushing for the move to MeeGo then!

On the other hand, if we got just a couple of highly skilled devs to recode the closed source bits that are dependent on kernel version, we could upgrade the kernel for Maemo 5, and this would be less of an issue already.
(Not saying that MeeGo isn't the better way to go, just pointing out for the readers who may not see the connection, that if you can recode the bits that force Maemo 5 to sit on an effectively ancient kernel, you could bring Maemo 5 up to the point where you could more directly port over stuff from MeeGo N900.)

Yes, I should give it a go on a memory card. In fact, I'm looking for a new one (shameless thread touting, I know).
On Maemo5, correct. On MeeGo N900 things work fine, try it out sometime. No tearing.
Edit:
Sorry, just seen this on the DE pageGuess there's no excuse then. seems I would be able to answer the phone when it's in tinker (Meego) mode. Get me that class 10 card!Flashed with this edition N900 will be usable as a primary phone device for a developer/hacker person.

As Stskeeps said, the driver is not easily ported to M5 so trimming M5 away from its kernel... well, I'm not a driver-programmer so it all seems quite a big deal to me!

The most useful scenario would be if a version of Harmattan were released for the N900, which had all the bug fixes xyz "fixed in Harmattan" (which, btw, has to be one of the biggest cop-outs ever!). And hopefully this OS would also be Meego compliant. Ahhh wishful thinking...

On top of that, there's the issues with modem stack, which is closed source in M5 and I have doubts will work properly on later kernels.. but hey, you might be in luck.
Also, you need to upgrade xorg but that might be simpler.
Perhaps someone could do the try. fbcon should be your best friend.

It seems it would be wise to wait to see who will remain in Nokia...
Rich Green is leaving the company.
