x11zaurus location?

What happens when you try to launch it?

Just nothing. The icon is changed to the "launching" view.
Even if I try "run as root".

SL5500 - ROM 3.10

To get around the corrupted screen on the SL-5500, download the 0.8 version of X/qt and install it over the 0.9 version.

I have it working now, and it works well, except 1 problem...

The X/Qt Server icon, starts xqt and puts an icon on the taskbar but clicking on that icon(if X got hidden behind something else) brings up an error message "Xqt is not responding would you like to force the application to exit?"

Xqt never comes back to the top...

Damn I hate the concept of "nonwindows".  the pda has 64mb of mem... hell yes it can run X...my first X11 experience was a 386/40mhz AMD with 4mb of RAM,... yes 4 megabytes....hell I could run xterm and xeyes at the same time...


Anyone have any ideas about the not responding stuff?

@Gudlyf:

I guess nobody has an answer for my strange rotated-X Server problem.

I'd look in /etc at the X related files. Make sure they are all there, that they are symlinked if you installed to a card. I presume it's these files which handle screen rotation.

Also check that the config files (can't remember the names but they start with a dot) are in your home directory (they are installed to /home/zaurus by default, if you run as root this will cause you problems).

@dhns:

Look back at the 2 old threads in general chat. They list the packages you need. You need the scripts package, you'll also need blackbox I think (otherwise you won't have a window manager). The list is there anyway.

Next thing to do is to run from the command line. startx is the command I think (but you probably don't have this as you've not installed the scripts package.

I thought I can just start the X-Server by tapping the X/Qt icon and then use it as a handheld X-Terminal (for a remote or local client). So, a local window manager would be a second step.

Not sure, but I think you'll still need the scripts package, otherwise xinit never finds the X server (at least that's what happened to me).

Ok I quit whining and started looking for a solution to the "unable to switch to X" problem I described above...

OpenZaurus 3.3.5 didn't automatically install the tasklist-applet.

I downloaded that from Zaurus Software Index(http://www.killefiz.de/zaurus/) and installed it.

The tasklist-applet successfully lets me switch back to the X session.  Sweet!

Now X is basically running on my OZ 3.3.5 SL-5500.

Yes, gotta decide on window manager and stuff but I can now run Tcl/Tk/Sqlite and do DB stuff.
