I tried to connect via wifi and bluetooth on my N95 and did not work. It did not work with the wifi connection wep/wep2/open adhoc, but it detects the available networks. How to solve the connection problem?

0.17 is moving right ahead - we just solved some virtual keyboard issues and struggling with a fix for reversed colours causing a lot of things turning white. Planning release the first week of the year. But keep in mind that 0.17 will only be a basis on which to develop other stuff and will -probably- be useless on anything but GL2.0-accelerated devices.

For us less techy types, what are -- and aren't! -- GL2.0-accelerated devices? When might Mer be usable on an N800?

My personal preference would be for the hardware drivers to be put into the mainstream kernel, and tablet-optimized window managers to be available for packaging into mainstream distributions. As long as the n810 has to run an n810-customized distro, it will be near impossible for the software to stay up to date. There's just not enough interest in maintaining stuff that only works on a particular piece of obsolete hardware.
I look forward to the day when I can get (or compile) a distribution like Ubuntu or Gentoo, put it on my arm-based device, and have access to the entire range of available software.

BTW, Mer has been able to install from Ubuntu repositories for some time, although as a practical matter it's been hit or miss whether or not you'll actually get any particular program to work. I've been assuming that the long-term goal for Mer is high degree of compatibility with Ubuntu. What advantages, then, does your approach have? Theoretical ability to adapt to other Linux distros (even non-debian)?

what we "not so fully into Nxx0 development" people wonder is what devices GL2.0-accelerated devices are?

Basically I mean GLES 2.0/GL devices (N900, X86, etc). Mer 0.17 was supposed to be the desktop changeover and this currently only is accelerated on GLES2.0 devices. 0.18 brings non-GL desktop alternative and possibly a GLES 1.1 (N8x0) patched/accelerated desktop.
