Hello-
I've been trying to see if I could modify the X server running on the
N770. So firstly I extracted the rootfs from the OS2006 .bin file. I
then downloaded the xserver-kdrive .deb file from the repository and
extracted it to my rootfs, packaged it all up and flashed my device
with it. This worked fine. I then downloaded the source of
xserver-kdrive, also from the repository. After expending some effort,
I was able to get that to compile. I had to download a couple
extensions from other places -- xproto, resourceext, damageext, xdmcp,
compositeext; I also had to add one struct definition in spext.h (from
the xsp folder in the tar'd xserver-kdrive source). However, it did
eventually compile. I then replaced the Xomap executable file in the
rootfs with the new one which I had just compiled and flashed the device.
The canonical way to compile kdrive (or any other component for 770)
inside scratchbox:
apt-get source xserver-kdrive
fakeroot apt-get build-dep xserver-kdrive [1]
cd xserver-kdrive-version
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
After this you have a nice .deb you can install with "dpkg -i" on the
device. Any other way
you might lack some of dependencies and/or have incorrect configure flags.
> Now, when my device boots, there is no longer the blue progress bar
along the bottom. It merely shows the "Nokia" screen for a second or two
and then shows the handshaking screen. As such, I can no longer flash my
device with anything at all. Any thoughts?
Are you following instructions here?

[1] Now that I test it "libxproto-composite libxproto-damage
libxproto-colorkey libxproto-resource libxres-dev libxkbfile-dev
libxdmcp-dev" packages are missing from maemo.org repository. However
these are all opensource and available from other
sources (with different names, I think).
