Xqt Installed Under Opie, Now What?

you also need to set the screen rotation/orrientation using randr
and map the keyboard using xmodmap
and load a nice window manager
you should try running small apps first to verify your xqt environment is ok before going to run bigger apps like abiword.
sylpheed and dillo are small apps which are actually quite useful but also help you determine whether your basic config is correct and working. once they work, you can tackle firefox and abiword and then maybe gnumeric which has many more dependencies.

I have randr, that fixed the rotation problem. I managed to run xterm, rxvt , xcalc and xedit. I also installed blackbox. All seem to work fine.
BUT, the most annoying problem is the refresh problem. I dont see any changes on the xqt window, no matter what I'm doing, until I switch to another app (opie-console for example) and back to the xqt window... then the window gets refreshed once.

After having installed lots of X11 packages I have managed to run Abiword or any apps from the X11 feed, but I still can't use them:

when the app is launched all I can see is the File, Edit, ... menu in HUGE FONTS (FILE takes all the screen). I guess this is a gtk thing... Anyone?

create a file called .gtkrc-2.0 under your home directory containing:

Code: [Select]
gtk-font-name = "Verdana 12"
seems like you are missing all the config packages.

Xqt Installed Under Opie, Now What?

hey! getting closer

I installed xqt on a clean oz 3.5.4.1rc2 with opie and after fixing a few dependencies  and adding the following .gtkrc-2.0 (thanks meanie)

Code: [Select]
gtk-font-name = "Verdana 0.5"
Here is the result of a running abiword (see screenshot). It's not perfect but very useable. Enter key and right click (fn click) are not working but I guess it can be fixed.

gee, and I thought the window manager in OZ was customised for the Z and would resize the window properly or the apps would had been customised to fit on the screen automatically  dare I even ask if you can print to PDF and it generates a proper looking pdf file?

Ok I solved my fonts problems by compiling xqt2 from cvs. No need for .gtkrc file anymore. Here is the result (see screenshot) and yes pdf generation from abiword works. Note: I am posting this using firefox under oz3.5.4.1rc2 Opie !! Xqt2 binary is also included (still need to tweak .bb file to include in feed)

Would it be possible for people who know how to do these things to create a task-opie-xqt metapackage to set all this up automagically?

If you are interested in beta testing my solution, I am preparing a meta package opie-x11 which installs the real X11 server from the X11 feed and allow to start it from Opie, and then switch from one to another.

I have dropped the Xqt approach, since this solution is far most powerfull and quicker. Also everything will work out of the box with OZ feeds.

Using different vts or still over a VNC link?

..how's this all going - I'm very interested, as this obviates having to have gpe & opie; I prefer opie atm because there are several apps such as ImageJ, pdf viewer, that work well under opie, so to be able to run abiword, gnumeric etc using opie as well would be great.  I suppose the only query I have is: what's the real difference between having gpe as opposed to XQt....?  Is is easier to get packages running in XQt..or...??

Which is faster (loading apps, etc.), X/QT or running GPE and OPIE at the same time?

gpe & opie at the same time on different vt's doesn't work anymore, I think - hence the need to use X/qt or pocketworkstation for those who like opie (me included!)

EDIT: Looks like I'm WRONG

..from memory of a previous successful attempt at doing this,& now experience of running Xqt2, I'd say running opie & gpe at the same time is better...this is prior to enodr's submission of his X11/Xqt meta package however, which may end up as fast, perhaps(?)
