I've only very quickly tried it but yes, X seems to be working but trying to suspend X messes it up.
Yep, that's been the way it's been.....
Meanwhile, I installed 5.8, process went smoothly....had 5.6 on it before...
Now, in process of untarring the ports file.....forgot that it takes a while....
Will be very interested to see if I have better luck building packages than before. There were specific programs that just would not build and unfortunately they were ones that I really needed in order to build programs I wanted to use on the Zaurus.
