good job slono. as you know im following your efforts on github, but it'll take some time for me to put in additional effort on these. existing stuff and harmattan take a lot of resource away.

So, https://github.com/slonopotamus/n8x0.../modern-kernel contains current HW status. Most important missing bit is TSC2301 that provides sound/touchscreen/keypad for N800. Also, I talked to mb__ (author of kernel patches) from #openwrt-devel @FreeNode, he said charging driver isn't finished yet, but he's working on it. Also, he's working on sound for N810 (he has one). Meanwile, I'll try to hack on TSC2301 support (though don't expect high chances of success since I'm not a kernel programmer).

For those who still track this, we now have functional N800 touchscreen/keypad with 2.6.38

Are these patches going to be upstreamed? Otherwise in a few months they're going to bitrot (again).

As a short-term measure, I plan to merge my patches into openwrt patchset (which I use as a base). What'll happen after that - don't know yet, time will show.

FYI: the armv7a-rootfs is useable in chroot on the n900. i just had to comment out the mounting of /var/tmp in qchroot and emerging takes a lot of time...

if gentoo can boot in n900, we will have one more os that we can boot on. Although I have to say that I don't have any idea about this os (probably one more flavor of linux is all I can guess). Anything special about this os so that n900 (or even n9) users will want to boot this os (when someone makes it possible)? Sorry for noob question.

gentoo builds nearly everything from source, so you are able to optimize compiling! it should be possible to boot into it without (much) modifications, but there's no effort because you are able to use (nearly) every application in chroot (easy debian/chroot)...

We now have both N800/N810 running 3.1.0 kernel (updated docs at https://github.com/slonopotamus/n8x0.../modern-kernel )
