Installing Xserver On Console Image

[dolcex]

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.

The only relevant message I found is
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/angst...une/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 has 2 links in the bodytext, so you have 50% chance (practically even more, since the first link is the one you want).

The first news post on the frontpage links to the gmane version of the mailinglists which has...

*drumroll*

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:
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/angst...uly/000466.html

The meat is:

# ipkg update

Install the X server (specific to the C760 - See
http://www.openembedded.org/repo/org.opene...chine/c7x0.conf
)
# ipkg install xserver-kdrive-w100

From
http://www.openembedded.org/filebrowser/or...kages/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.

I'm about to try it before the gf gets home... then it's Resident Evil 4 time

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.

The solution for Akita is:

# ipkg upgrade
# ipkg install xserver-kdrive-fbdev
# ipkg install  task-base-extended angstrom-x11-base-depends angstrom-gpe-task-base angstrom-gpe-task-settings esd

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

[dolcex]

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....
