@liar are you only working on N9, or also the N900?
currently i am a little stuck, i can now execute surfaceflinger through apkenv and it renders to the screen (renders over the existing screen content) (which means it behaves exactly like surfaceflinger in a chroot) but once i try to make it render into an X11 window i get a black window only
if somebody wants to experiment with me i've attached prepatched egl and gles libs (this patch: https://github.com/krnlyng/apkenv/co...83011719982d04 )
query me on irc (freenode, username: krnlyng) if you run into problems or need further instructions

Alternatively, you could forget about starting it in an X11 window and start it on another VT and remap some keys to make it easy to switch back and forth between X11 and SurfaceFlinger.

and to your other question, i wouldn't know how to do that (probably one of the reasons why i am failing is because i don't know much about graphics)

VTs (virtual terminals) are what on a Linux PC you would normally switch between using Ctrl+Alt+FunctionKey or the chvt command. It's possible to run separate X servers on each VT should you desire to do that. One would assume you could also run SurfaceFlinger on one of them and switch between that VT and the one running X11.
You would probably need to "modprobe fbcon" and would possibly need compile a kernel with support extra VTs too.
You can find a keymap here which maps Fn+VolumeButtons to change VT on the N900. It should be possible to do something similar on the N9.

liar,
and whether there is a more affordable installation instructions ( about launch nitdroid of a meego chroot)?
That where the patch? where to get that?
I do not quite understand ((

regarding my chroot method:
Xorg and surfaceflinger are fighting for the framebuffer. Why didn't i think of just pausing one of them? (kill -STOP, kill -CONT) this might allow us to switch between nitdroid and harmattan with minimal latency (no need for a full reboot!)
Once my n9 boots, i will take another look at this.

I presume now that N900 and N9 are left to die slowly with no support for Maemo and Meego
Thanks very much and hope you all the best
