1. Re-emerge x11-base/xorg-server with the "kdrive" USE flag enabled, this will give you Xephyr.

2. Instead of using the scratchbox installer from maemo, install the following using portage (you may have to unmask some packages):

Code:

dev-embedded/scratchbox
dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-apt-https
dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-debian
dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-doctools
dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-git
dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-perl
dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-qemu
dev-embedded/scratchbox-devkit-svn
dev-embedded/scratchbox-toolchain-cs2007q3-glibc2_5

3. Read the instructions "4. Installing on 64bit Debian based distrubution" at http://maemo.org/development/sdks/ma...0_installation (the stuff about vdso and where to download the installer). Install the SDK as follows:

Code:

./maemo-scratchbox-install_5.0beta.sh –u USER -F -s /opt/scratchbox

4. Start scratchbox:

Code:

/etc/init.d/scratchbox start

5. Follow the instructions "2. Starting/shutting down the SDK UI", but use

Code:

/opt/scratchbox login

to login.

I hope this helps.
