XFree on openZaurus

[lekter]

Is there any way to have XFree on openZaurus?

[XorA]

The GPE images are XFree based running matchbox window manager.

I mean to install XFree on antother VT, to have both QT and XFree.

[XorA]

Should be possible to install the xserver package and if both OPIE and Xfree are working right they should detect each other on the vt's and just work ™. I don't know how many vt's a OZ rom has though.

Its OZ, its theoretically possible give it a go :-) A reflash is only 5 mins!

flash opie-image, install "gpe-task-base" package, run opie (it will be on VT2), run gpe-dm (via "/etc/init.d/gpe-dm start") it will be on VT3

I tested it before. One problem - how to get it in 14MiB of collie / is left for you.

Just a note, gpe-image doesn't use XFree, it uses kdrive.

I tired installing task-gpe-base but got the following errors:

This looks interesting (sort of on-topic):
