Hmm, I've done this at a low level from python-dbus and hal iirc. I can't get at that code at the moment.... but it may well change in the near future anyhow; see below. > BTW, is Mer still alive?

Nor, I believe, has the hardware support table. ...as you've noticed we've slipped when it comes to releases. One key reason is that we're integrating the Fremantle packages into Mer and this is hard work; another is that both Carsten and I have been tied up on other work too. However this should pay dividends over the hols and into the new year :) We've had a lot of new interest in Mer recently so we're hoping this will improve moving the fremantle code back to the N8x0 devices; and now we have sniffs of the 3D drivers that could be rather good.
