Let me chip in with some information here. Poky used to support the n800 machine semi-officially and it ran sato quite well including the wiki and touchscreen. The problem has been that the xserver and kernel recipes were not updated, Poky moved on and these older versions no longer worked/interacted well. For this reason, the machine was moved to meta-extras as it no longer worked. I know its possible to make it work again and there shouldn't be massive amounts of effort needed. If someone does step up and fixes it up and agrees to maintain it, the machine can come back. It is going to need someone to give it some TLC though. Cheers, Richard
