Yeah, I have the sources, I may even have it packaged, I need to take a look at it.

We cant use kernel-power, systemd requires >= 3.0 (Mer 2.6.37 kernel has something backported, it worked last time I checked.) and there are few other issues too. Not saying it's not possible though, someone should investigate that option more in-depth.


@Alecsandru
Leds work fine. For calls you need pulseaudio and modules from Nemo. Camera is possible if someone fixes drivers. GPS I do not know, there is some example code around showing how to access it but I have no more knowledge about it. I don't support overclocking, N900 is fast enough without it. It just requires a bit of thinking/learning to find the right software to run on such hardware.

As an offtopic sidenote, I was given an old laptop, Fujitsu Lifebook C-6555, which has 650MHz Pentium 3 (and the most awesome 440BX chipset), 320MB of RAM and ATI Mach64. I installed Arch Linux, of course, and with my usual choice of software (dwm, dmenu and urxvt) the system just flies. It's a beauty in so many ways, and I just love using it. Soo, with some tinkering, it should not be that complicated to get smooth user experience out of N900, with or without overclocking.

SMS and calls work, I have not tested GPRS. Configuration is a bit tricky though. Sources can be downloaded from wherever Mer and Nemo keep their files nowadays. Cant comment about Kubuntu.

new kernel breaks usability , new fixes ,new configs , new etc (new kernel but no drivers , what would be the purpose of that? some guys here on TMO said that the kernel version above n900's one handles requests in a different way , that's why the kernel remained the same , the new stuff was patched , like hw sync , filesystems , etc),by the way what are the advantages of the new kernel? those can't be backported?

I don’t know if I’m insane, need to ask the right people, but theoretically the kernel-power patches could be forward-ported and some magic done so closed-source modules work, right? Now this is how to waste a lot of time :-D This is just talking for now, I’m taking some time off off-line. I will try to find out more about kernels floating around.

Good job getting Arch running well on that laptop, I’m glad to hear that.

GPRS has always worked for Arch (or any alternative distro), as long as phonet device is around, and ofono works. I tested this with a couple of 2.6.x kernels, as well as some 3.x
