Here is my current setting which I feel is quite good:
Red = AccelarationPeriod. (Made it slower so it doesn't "jerk" the phone as much)
Green = OnPeriod. (Made it longer so it's more prone)
Blue = BreakPeriod. (Made it 0 as I liked how it felt when I turned on my phone and saw it was 0 for PowerOn)
Magenta = Speed. (Made it low so that it's not too powerful and vibration feels gentle and soft)
This makes it more like a Samsung Haptic feedback devices.
Not too over powering but still gives a positive feedback.
How I changed it:
1. Install rootsh to get root access at terminal via "sudo gainroot"
2. Install Leafpad application (text editor)
3. from xterminal, sudo gainroot
4. from xterminal, leafpad /etc/mce/mce.ini
5. Go down to the very end (down).
6. Make the changes to the above mentioned line and save.
7. Reboot.

It would be nice to have a little software with scroll bar to generate LED and vibration patterns...
I myself refuse to use a ring as i find this to be an insult to others in public area but I'd love to be able to tweak the vibration pattern to something very irregular so i can feel it better while walking and such... :-)

There's no coding experience involved. If you can follow directions, you can do this. Don't let the "I'm not a linux user, so I don't know how to do it" mentality scare you off. Learn how to do it properly the first time, and you'll be that much better off. Don't always rely on a "patch" or a ".bat" file as you call them.

HRZ, I'm not linux expert either. Here's a more detailed step for 3 & 4.
Step 3
- launch xterminal (it's already installed on N900)
- type the following and press enter
sudo gainroot
- done
Step 4
- While you are still in xterminal
- type the following and press enter
leafpad /etc/mce/mce.ini
- the leafpad application will launch. (if installed as per step 2)
- you are now seeing the contents of mce.ini file.
Step 3
- launch xterminal (it's already installed on N900)
- type the following and press enter
sudo gainroot
- done
Step 4
- While you are still in xterminal
- type the following and press enter
leafpad /etc/mce/mce.ini
- the leafpad application will launch. (if installed as per step 2)
- you are now seeing the contents of mce.ini file.

Glad some like my setting. I've played with my friend's Samsung phone quite a bit to get that. =)
btw, I proposed a solution to my brainstorm:
I think it would be fairly easy for Nokia developer to add at least 3-5 presets to:
Settings - Disply - Touch screen vibration
When you click it, you get an option to select from following: (Similar to the Backlight time-out option)
0. Off
1. Default
2. Samsung
3. HTC
4. LG
etc.....
Each preset could be just a tweaked value of PatternTouchscreen in mce.ini

Thanks Jakiman I entered your settings and it's a much nicer feedback when you touch the screen. It would be good though if we did get the ability for presets from settings menu sometime in the future.

Seems it can be done by modifying the 'dangerous' /etc/mce/mce.ini file.
