Yeah, - we're a bit restricted by the fact Xserver-omap is a kdrive so it's a bit possible. We provide nit-env's to collect working tablet environments.

I would like to take advantage of maemo gui and crate nit-env-hildon or something like that... all stuff should be free, maybe expect microb browser (but we should be able to use fennec soon).
We will have the best from all. Nice working gui from maemo project and lot of libs and software repositories.
It's definately possible, see http://people.via.ecp.fr/~jobi/hildo...top-ubuntu.png for instance. http://maemo.org/community/wiki/Hild...opPortability/ is also a possibility. You may find hildon packages in Debian already.

If you want to make a nit-env-hildon, try look at the package sources at http://trac.tspre.org/projects/deble...it-env-keblet3 - these are dpkg-buildpackage'able

For a QEMU virtual 'armel' machine, see http://people.debian.org/~aurel32/qemu/armel/ - that's what I use to dpkg-buildpackage (you'll want to apt-get dist-upgrade and ntpdate it probably). Scratchbox for Debian/armel should exist too.

http://wiki.debian.org/pkg-maemo is relevant too.
