QUOTE(ZDevil @ Nov 3 2007, 10:23 PM)  Install 2or0's X-related packages (inside the afterall/packages directory). You can try to run the things in 2nd-cfg.sh chunck by chunk. The script is basically helping users to install loads of things. I don't use xdm or gdm; they just get in the way and block me from getting back to the console. for getting back to the console, you can always do : sudo chvt 1 (or chvt [123456] )

Oh yes, root. Just like when using other OSs on the Z. I am no paranoid.
 Frankly I haven't tried X in $USER yet. |

But i still don't like gdm for its not so small overhead. |

i don't know for you, but for me, i think it's one of the biggest bug i have ever seen ! be OBLIGE to do X stuff on root ! i mean WTF ! what a security lack ! Plus we're on pocket station... which are doomed to be bluetoothed + irda attaqued .... and wifi... and more...
that's not credible please, would you know where i can feel in a bug report for that ? |

1 hour an a half later....
ok folks, i tried the best i can, i had to remove almost everything in order not to have package that you wouldn't have (...) well do that : apt-get install xdm cd /usr/bin mv X X.OLD ln -s Xfbdev X chmod 2755 Xfbdev then, you can launch xdm, and log into X as $USER |

j'ajoute a cela :
allez visiter : /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources ligne 84 : Chooser*geometry: mettez une geometry qui tient sur l'ecran d'un zaurus (640x480) /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup --> xrandr -o right et si vous voulez ..... Esetroot ~/wallpaper.jpg /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers ligne 35 : ajoutez a la fin, comme dans nos ~/.xserverrc -fp /usr/share..../misc et d'autres trucs bien entendu... chacun configure son linux a sa sauce bonne soiree/journee ! |

jpmatrix : so ? no majors issues ?
ZDevil : i think we should add the adduser $USER and then the above trick to be able de launch X with a $USER in your 2-cfg.sh process for the Q18 and for other install. maybe you should add it in the wiki. my point is that it would be a shame if debian-zaurus based machines become the source of linux-virus, because their users only work in root instead of $USER. i won't develop this idea, you probably understand what i mean. Once shouldn't work in root. |
