Running X11 apps with QTopia is technically possible. QtMoko supports this, although it could be much better integrated - but only because it was not a big priority for me. > it's as > useless as Sailfish is now, and android ever been. Well, IMO you should always start with something simple and working. I'd been happy if Freerunner was running from day 0 simple, reliable, power management friendly distro with "Accept call" and "Read SMS". Community does the rest. > And do you suggest any > of your other phones provided a "maintainable kernel" so far?

Right, 2.6.29-rc is probably good one - i cant recall if it's 100% perfect, but it could be. It was probably mistake to abandon it, since 2.6.3x have the suspend problems. I recently patched it to work with recent debian and made QtMoko branch which works with it, but i never decided to completely revert to it, because: 1/ it eats battery more then 2.6.39 2/ there was so much energy put in making 2.6.39 working 3/ nearly impossible to apply any security patches Regards Radek
