« on: February 05, 2004, 04:37:51 am »
I\'ve installed the Xqt packages on my SL5600. I\'m just wondering if someone done the same thing...

When I start the xserver (version 0.0.7) I get a window without the border/title/exit cross. So I can only kill the xserver from a remote terminal (kill -9). any workaround?

I\'ve installed blackbox, work ok.
I\'ve tried evilwm and I don\'t thing it\'s working.

If I run \"startx\" from a terminal, the xserver set the screen size to 240x300. I\'m not sure is correct it should be 320x240. what do you think?

At last I been able to run AWT application using the blackdown 1.3.1 VM. :-)

To kill the server, hit the \"menu\" button on your Zaurus  - you\'ll get a popup menu with shutdown as one of the options.

If I\'m using the \"Start X\" icon then I don\'t get a task icon so the xserver loose focus when the screen refresh (and go behind the desktop).

The \"Start X\" icon links to a script \"startx-wrapper\" which call \"startx\".

how can I fix it?

have you tried running xinit instead of startx? that seems to work for me..

I\'ve changed the \"exec\" attribute in the desktop file to \"xinit\". I don\'t get the icon taskbar...

Here is the packages I\'ve installed:
  - xqt-server 0.0.7
  - xlibs 4.3.0.2
  - xbase-client 4.3.0.2
  - xbase-etc 4.3.0.2
  - xqt-startup-script 0.0.2
  - blackbox 0.65.0.1

I didn\'t install the fonts because I think it\'s for the Japanese.

Do these packages work okay. The page says that you need the Japanese locale to be installed. Presumably it also works with an English or American locale file?

If not, I can\'t seem to find the x-devel*.tar.gz package which the developer talks about (http://xqt.sourceforge.jp/download.html @ bottom).

Qtopia only associates an icon on the taskbar with Qtopia apps. It does this by taking the name set in the QPEApplication object in the Qtopia app and matching it with the process launched from the exec setting. Java apps, which are all launched with scripts, get around this because Jeode has a special option to set the Qtopia name for the process to the same name as the script.

You could try moving the Qtopia part of the xserver to somewhere outside of the path and rename the startx script to the same name as the Qtopia part and call the xserver with an absolute path. The exec setting in the .desktop file would also have to be updated with the new script name and the tab icons refreshed.

After about an hour of playing I have it looking a little better than the default setup on my 5600

The first thing I had to do was uninstall the glibc jp locale file and the font package that I installed earlier from the xqt feed...

So I then open the terminal and type the xinit command, expecting for it to whine about me not having the glibc jp package instaled... instead it loaded without any problems.

I have so many packages installed that I am not even sure if I have glibc included in one of them or not...

it\'s still pretty ugly... so you will want to change the style.  Hold down your Fn key and tap the screen.  Choose styles ] Cthulhain.  I\'ve tried them all, this is the only one that looked right to me.

I haven\'t tried to run anything in it yet, but it seems more stable than qtopia-x.

This X/QT environment is really nice for my wants/needs... are there no other apps than those listed on the project page?
