After installing the Angstrom console image, how does one go about installing packages to enable xserver? I got to a point where X would try to start and then it says no screen found. I've searched everywhere and found no answer.
Thank you.
p.s. I know it's easier to install the X image, but I have a reason for wanting to install the base.

This was been answered a few times on the mailinglist, please follow [a href=\"http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/contact]http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/contact[/url] in the future

The only relevant message I found is
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/angst...une/000300.html (http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/angstrom-distro-users/2007-June/000300.html)
and it does not answer my question. I don't want to reflash with the x11 fs - I want to manually install required packages to get x11 up and running.
p.s. as pointed out before, there is no search function for the archives (I suppose I could have googled the domain).

My points remain, it was discussed and answered a few times on the mailinglist, most recently *yesterday*, and if you had checked the news on the frontpage....

Sorry to beat the dead horse, but I still don't see an answer. I'm an intelligent person, yet I am struggling to find this...
Anyway, forget it. I'll try and figure it out.

http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/contact (http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/contact) has 2 links in the bodytext, so you have 50% chance (practically even more, since the first link is the one you want).

a search function
To summarize: you want to consult the mailinglists (archives) for any questions, not any forum, as the contact page makes clear.

A lot of people seems to have trouble to get this right.
Maybe a link to the search function in the contact page would help ? Also, "support" could me more appropriate than "contact", even if it's not the main purpose of the mailing lists.

For anyone that cares, the message that I have finally come to is here:

The meat is:
# ipkg update
Install the X server (specific to the C760 - See
http://www.openembedded.org/repo/org.opene...chine/c7x0.conf (http://www.openembedded.org/repo/org.openembedded.dev/conf/machine/c7x0.conf)

# ipkg install xserver-kdrive-w100
From
http://www.openembedded.org/filebrowser/or...kages/angstromI (http://www.openembedded.org/filebrowser/org.openembedded.dev/packages/angstromI)
found out which are the packages needed for the X11 image
# ipkg install task-base-extended angstrom-x11-base-depends
angstrom-gpe-task-base angstrom-gpe-task-settings
This will give you a fully working GPE environment.

Result: Angstrom splash screen displays, then gpe-dm tries to start (or maybe it does), and them I'm dumped to the shell where it says "can't open display :0"
I installed xserver-kdrive
There are other kdrive packages... maybe that wasn't the right one.

Thanks for letting us know. I'll update the [a href=\"http://www.linuxtogo.org/gowiki/AngstromManual]Angstrom wiki entry[/url]. I notice that you added esd from what was originally recommended. What was the reason? thks

I don't know why esd was required - but gpe-dm wouldn't start without it.
Seems that Angstrom sites are down at the moment....
