I have been bashing my head against the wall on this one.

I am currently running Debian Squeeze AMD64, and would like to start learning to develop for my N900. The problem is that the tutorials for setting up the maemo-sdk are out of date.

Most of them refer to version 1.0.19 or 1.0.20. The current version at http://maemo-sdk.garage.maemo.org/do...e/free/binary/ is 1.0.22 as of November 26th, 2009.

I have managed to get up to the point that I can run 'maemo-sdk start gui' but then I get a black box.

Forums have suggested to run 'Xephyr :2 -host-cursor -screen 800x480 -dpi 96 -ac -kb' but the newer versions of xorg (and therefore Xephyr) don't accept the -kb command.

So I have tried exporting the display, and pretty much everything else I can find.

Anyone else have any success in running this combination?

Kind of silly to have packages for Debian-Squeeze 64 bit only to have them not work right.

I'm itching to try to port some apps from earlier versions of Maemo, and to port some other things (I'd love a native tn5250 and atari800 emulator.)
