Right now, only Yokos and I are making iLiad packages in ipk format. But I thought it should be known that when the hacked libX11 is in /usr/local/lib and that resides on internal memory /mnt/free or /, it can cause a problem with screen refreshes for other apps. I suggest a new directory /usr/local/private/lib or similar.

Oh, a user got this bad side effect because he installed the app on iLiad's main memory, it's described in the GNU Chess Reloaded thread (http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13880).

For those who don't know what this libX11 thing is:
It's a patched library which decides when the screen get's an update.
Without adding lines for screen refreshes in src, the ported app refreshes screen.
