Try the version before libconic and dbus, it has more chances. I have Mer 0.9 on my 770, but it is one of the freezing on start experiences, so I can't test.

Speaking of Mer, why is it in the alternative section anyway? Isn't it going to be the upgrade to Maemo once it is finalized? Shouldn't it be in the OS like the previous Maemo releases?

I think it's actually a hybrid. Freemantle is the next maemo OS. But Mer is for the nx00 tablets (since Freemantle is based off new hardware and backporting patches and what not for the older hardware is more difficult).

You need the VMDK image for virtualbox. http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/mer/0...-v0.9.vmdk.zip
Download the file linked to above and then unzip it.

Yeah, it's 0.9. I'd take a stroll over to the #maemo irc and see if they can help you get updated to 0.10. Sorry if you went there and didn't see a lot of activity. It tends to have some times of heavy activity and most of the rest of the time, it sits relatively idle. Just hang out there until you manage to catch it when there's more people there.

I think Mer is designed for all touchscreen handhelds, not only nokia tablets.

Here is Xcompmrg running on Mer 0.11 testing version. :)

First i put on only the basic fade-effect, then shadows and oter stuff.

With all the effects, it's laggy. That's because there's no Hardware Acceleration at all.

At the same time, the video is also a good preview of the new User Interface of 0.11 and my theme :D
