My n900 doesn't arrive until wed the 9th.

I will try this on the weekend when I get some time. I have an extra sixaxis laying around.

hummm...what about the rumble pack? ok now I am stretching it a bit but hey you never know.

Also I am brand new to linux, did some c++ back in the day but very rusty to programing in general. But that's the beauty of this phone, learn a lil bit and a whole world of possibilities open up.
