From known issues: Rotation in advanced-backlight kills the X server
- pop the battery :P

That was the only option i had, does it bring it to the normal state.

I just installed the 0.8 x86 version, and I have to press ctrl-M for enter..

Not sure if this is the same problem you're having, but I noticed that enter stopped working my Zaurus (and my VMDK Mer 0.8 image) if I killed hildon-input-method.

I'll take another look for something that went wrong, but I didn't kill hildon-input-method.

I want to try mer but i got problem with the bootmenu. The install of the bootmenu and mer went fine using the installer link in the first message but when i reboot i can't access the menu. No matter if i hold the home button when it say so (or any other button) i always log into maemo. Any way i could access the menu by default by changing something in the bootmenu.sh?

Did you run Utilities -> "Install Bootmenu" first and then Utilities -> "Install Mer"? (if not, just Install Bootmenu again and it should get there)

I did install the bootmenu first and i did reinstall it but it didn't solved my problem so i guess i have to find anither way to get to the menu.

Re: Mer v0.8 release and a call for developers of Maemo-extras software etc.
 

You have to hold the "home" key and THEN press the power button. Hold the home key, till you see something like "To boot from flas press and hold the menu key" (sorry, dont remember the actual words, but its something along these lines, you will recognise it) then quickly release the home key and press the menu key...
I had to try several times myself. its not a good solution imho.
