Something has occurred to me that I don't think anyone has yet written/ported. If you could mirror the 770's display, then you could use it as the image source for a heads-up display (HUD). This has all sorts of interesting applications - especially when connected to a GPS.

How hard would it be to write a display-flipper which toggled the display around in various ways (left-right mirror, top-bottom mirror)?

IIRC, the OMAP 1710 frame-buffer will already do this (mirror mode), provided you twiddle the right bits.

I know that the XWindows R-and-R functionality to rotate the display 180 degrees is implemented using hardware calls, but still pending approval from the Maemo.org folks (I think).
