Hmm, it looks like there are some package conflicts between the mer and ubuntu-n8x0 witch could be causing those dependence issues, i'll look into it sometime this weekend. For now, i'd suggest that you remove the mer repo from your /etc/apt/sorces.list file as a temporary workaround for this problem. (The ubuntu-n8x0 repo shuld be complete enough to be used exclusively allong side the ubuntu jaunty repo) Also, that startup problem could be related to omap-fb-tools and omap-fb-console not being installed. I'm using the deblet bootmenu.

Btw, sorry it took me so long to respond, i've been quite busy lately
