If you want to compile a kernel module then grab the kernel source, alter the defconfig and compile it. Then copy the module across.

If it's an external module, then grab the kernel headers and compile your module.

Exactly the same as compiling kernel modules for a desktop box.

I don't believe there is any source code that you can get from writing to Nokia that isn't already downloadable already.

No - he's presumably just read the GPL, which mentions this, though it's more of a last-resort option in cases where the source code isn't supplied or available online.

He knows how to write a kernel module but doesn't know how the linux kernel works? Does something sound odd?

For example, if one would want to change the behavior of the screen unlock, so sliding the keyboard would not unlock it, one would want to replace /usr/lib/systemui/libsystemuiplugin_tklock.so with ones own version.

To do that, source code for this libsystemuiplugin_tklock.so has to be found first.

After adding (guessed) source repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/src-hildon-application-manager.list just by replacing every "deb" with "deb-src" in the copy of hildon-application-manager.list,
and doing 'apt-get update':


Code:
Nokia-N900:~# apt-file search /usr/lib/systemui/libsystemuiplugin_tklock.so
bash: apt-file: command not found
Nokia-N900:~# dpkg -L osso-systemui-tklock # lets guess it is there
...
/usr/lib/systemui/libsystemuiplugin_tklock.so
Nokia-N900:~# apt-cache showpkg osso-systemui-tklock
Package: osso-systemui-tklock

So, should one assume that source code is not open, or, it is not found from repositories with apt, or repositories for the source files are something totally different what where binary packages are?

Hopefully, as Nokia has stopped to make great N900!

Wasn't that part of the goal with opening up Maemo?
