Adam Spiers twisted the bytes to say:

In that case you need to compile it with X support. When I compiled
it, it was without it, so no stylus support.

 Adam> Interesting!  Do you have any more details on the kind of extra support?

No idea. Just one comment in the maemo users mailing list. But without
Ctrl- support in the virtual keyboard it will be difficult to
use. 

perhaps the solution for us (n800 users) is to hack the keyboard and
add ctrl.

I am not sure how file system is distributed in the 810. in the 800
the internal memory is used for root, and /media/mmc2 is the internal
card.

http://turingmachine.org/~dmg/temp/local.tar.gz

Unpack in user home directory, then symlink /usr/local to it. It
contains emacs-nox. Make sure you rename the original /usr/local so
you don't lose it (I think it is empty out-of-the box). You need to
install ncurses-base and ncurses-term
