That's why I mentioned running xnest or something like it (xoo, xephyr). It runs as an X client app, and in it's window it can run an isolated X environment (it gets it's own display number). As soon as I get my device, I'll try compiling xephyr for it, then see if I can get an entire environment running under it (similar to running X/QT Jumbo Package available for the Zaurus).

I was thinking more along the lines of using the Debian ARM repository. If there are differences between regular ARM and the ARM-based cpu in the N series, then use the source .debs and recompile.

Has all this been done by someone and I'm just not seeing it? If not, does everyone else think it is a worth-while project? The intent would not be to get the various packages hildonized, but to get them to run in the nested environment so that the n800 can do double duty as a laptop replacement (when paired up with an external keyboard, mouse, and 16-gb memory card).
