so you need resources for both OS.

so i would think that mer is noticable faster than easy debian. (:
Whereas with Mer.. debian is handling the hardware and is *not* optimized for it. Thus, you're going to get better battery life from easy debian than with Mer. Some things may even be faster... especially if you run the software through Maemo's interface and not have the full blown LXDE running atop Maemo.
Just my $0.02.

apt-get --no-install-recommends install lxde libgtkstylus onboard
echo "exec startlxde" >> ~/.xinitrc
How is this done ?
I cant get the onscreen keyboard to work. I see it, i can type. but it does not show up in terminal.
On the N900 keyboard i can not find a button for the "-"

but you might be right, that some apps will run faster in easy debian than in mer and vice versa when trying other apps.

Where is that onscreen keyboard from the youtube vid ? Was that from a previous version ?
I hope that we soon see the new mer version. It looks damn fast.
Mer 0.17 with 3D acceleration on N900

I did not try it myself yet .. but If you can add it a text file and then paste it in your SD card and then access it to copy it from there ..
If you have Internet Access.. you could try to copy it from somewhere ,,
