Is It Possible To Use Icewm In Oz/gpe?
« on: December 06, 2006, 01:30:30 pm »
Hi,

I'm trying to use icewm in OZ/GPE with no success so far:

# ipkg install icewm
# ln -sf /usr/bin/icewm-session /usr/bin/x-window-manager

but all I can see when I log in is garbled colors (purple, blue, ...), no fonts, etc.

So this must not be the way... does anybody know how to install icewm in OZ/GPE?

Thanks in advance

It could very well be that icewm compiles for OZ but is not in a usable state yet.  I don't know anyone that uses it.

IceWM + ROX Desktop is a very nice combination, as many users in pdaXrom have.

I think it may be that icewm can not set the proper colors in menus, window borders, ... like the rxvt error in .xsession-errors:

urxvt: can't get colour 'rgb:XX/XX/XX', continuing without.

It seems that the X Color Management System is disabled, so reenabling it and recompiling X11 fixes both color problems for icewm and rxvt!

So now I have a fully working icewm. Next problem is rox-filer which it does not tun. It crashes with 'segmentation fault', does anyone use it in OZ?

Thanks in advance
