Success!!!
Still got the same error messages as before, but this time I did as you suggested and voila! was able to login....
Now, I see:
Code:
[root@localhost ~]#
Thanks to all who provided guidance along the way, it is greatly appreciated and helped keep me going....

I installed e17, but can't get symbol keys to work. Now i only have letters and arrows, no special keys. They work perfectly in terminal before starting e17. Could someone tell me how to get them to work (with fise-keymap)? I've read the thread few times but either I am blind or the mead has softened my brains too much

I've understood that E17 has something of it's own to manage keyboard layouts so can't say anything about that, but package n900-configs has Xorg config that sets full US mapping as default. If E17 does not respect that and sets something else, setxkbmap might help, man-page has all the details.

Trying to get Xorg and LXDE working on n900 now....
First I tried installing xf86-video-fbdev-sgx-git, but that did not work at all for me, just black screen....so, removed it and then installed xf86-video-fbdev....
Have installed and configured both per info on Arch wiki...
But here's what I get now:
Here's error messages from /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
Any suggestions how to fix?
UPDATE
Got X and LXDE working now!.....had to install some missing Xorg packages....
Other Questions
1. How do you get to all the various symbols that one can get on keyboard in maemo by pressing 'blue arrow' and 'Sym' key?
2. Trying to install packer, but when I do, I get error messages:
Any suggestions?
UPDATE 2 & More Questions
Decided to try yaourt since I was having problem installing packer. Yaourt installed and works OK....
However, want to install firefox and tried installing 'firefox-mod' and got error message that it's not available for 'armv7h architecture'....
3. Anyone know if there's version of firefox that will work?
4. Is AC Charging working properly when using Arch?
I ask as I had N900 plugged into AC Charger while using Arch. Unplugged AC when I left for work this morning. When I got to work, N900 would not come on as before. So, it appears that battery was not charged. Charging battery now....
Thanks!

First, thought I'd share two photos of N900 running Arch & LXDE....and then my questions....
So far, LXDE is working nicely.....
Questions
1. How do you get to all the various symbols that one can get on keyboard in maemo by pressing 'blue arrow' and 'Sym' key?
For example, how to type '>' or '|', etc....
2. Trying to install packer, but when I do, I get error messages:
Aborting....Any suggestions?
3. Anyone know how to install firefox ?
I tried to install firefox by using yaourt and tried installing 'firefox-mod' that I saw in the list of firefox selections and got error message that it's not available for 'armv7h architecture'....
UPDATE: have tried other builds such as 'firefox-nightly' and no go....
So, installed epiphany and chromium for now....if anyone has any other recommendations, let me know...
4. Is AC Charging working properly when using Arch?
I ask as I had N900 plugged into AC Charger while using Arch.
Unplugged AC when I left for work this morning. When I got to work, N900 would not come on as before. So, it appears that battery was not charged. Charging battery now....
UPDATE: After charging up battery, rebooted and it is working OK. However, I can't tell if AC charging is working or not....any suggestions?
Thanks!

The build succeeded on ARM v7, compiled with a Trim-Slice. With 8 jobs and distributed cross-compile set up, the build took about 18 hours and peak 2 GB memory.

Yes. If it's not, source of the issue is the same that screws the clock and breaks the audio. Power off once from Alarm, boot in to it again, and everything should work.
