Also make sure you have sshd on you Desktop so that you can connect.

Let me know if you have any trouble with this.
It works perfectly! x2x is in the repositories for 10.04 already, by the way.

I would be very interested in seeing
1)your tutorial on enabling the mouse cursor on the n900, as well as
2) whether or not you know of a way to control a computer screen with the n900 using x2x; i.e. exactly the opposite method.
