Yes it should not be a problem but who still use chinook ?
Are you a N770 owner with 2008HE ?

My last personal experience is that 2008HE is not usable for multimedia application on N770. Is mplayer working now ?

If the backport to chinook worth it, I will do it of course.
I was sure that not but I will be happy to be wrong.

Best hope for N770 users is Debian or Android, Maemo become too big for the hardware
