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?

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

Skry, may I howto to run X on Alarm?
I have try install xf86-video-fbdev-sgx-git-20130319-1-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz or the unaccelerated xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.3-3-armv7h.pkg.tar.xz, but still can't run X
I got this error message when I try run #X -configure: (WW) module ABI major version (13) doesn't match the server's version (14)
When I just run #X it just show blank screen and then rebooted.
This the error complete log:
This is the error when I run e17:

How can I successfully run e17 on Alarm?

@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.
