There is a (old enough) post of Carsten Munk, how he did working clock and battery (with bme) working on MER.
I have not checked it yet

(maybe it will work with other booters

- what do people use here, by the way? I use uboot-pr13, but would prefer multiboot, If it was possible; since the last can load 'power-kernel' for maemo -

changing the parameter for maemo's rootfs directory;
In general, as I have understood, the maemo's utility is called with chroot to run bme to manage the battery:

chroot /mnt/initfs /usr/sbin/bme_RX-51 -b

having mounted all those system directories, of course)


PanzerSajt, install LXDE (did you try it?) - that one of the very few possibilities (if any other) to run ubuntu with graphics on N900.
