seems like you're on your way to controlling the whole device? With a custom kernel and filesystem in an image, why you could do ANYTHING!? Sounds cool! Yes, please, document everything!

I'm sure you could compile a native X server, and move a lot of functionality out of the image and onto the native environment. I just really didn't feel like cross-compiling everything xD Its a lot easier and faster to run apt-get.

I don't think its possible to load a new kernel from inside the image, but maybe I'm just not enough of a hack

Already done.

Built X. not cross compiled - native.

simply copied qemu-arm-static to your images /usr/bin, then mounted it on my linux box.

just trying to replace the xterm defaultclient=/mnt/us/extensions/xorg/usr/bin/xterm
with something I actually have... so building roxterm and lxterm to give me options.

@UnknownUser, you can use kexec, but I'm not sure whether KT supports it from stock kernel...

@UnknownUser so do I need to put some dithering code INTO the compton.c now - or something else??

as I am not seeing "overall" dithering

I see the newtrix binary - and the update binary... just struggling to decide where that drops... and if that is what you were doing before...


Other than "awesome" everything is built from source. so. If I need to jam this code in somewhere lower down the chain that could be achieved. The awesome I am currently running is EXACTLY your one from the debian squeeze, literally ripped out and welded to run.

Why not change to a different (better WM like openbox? install FBreader or something and we wouldn't need all the lua rc titlebar hacks to run anything? A simple menu program or even icons on a home screen... almost like Android?! I can see this being really helpful. How big is the xorg port? My Touch only has 3.2G on /mnt/us so I guess size might be an issue?

You know.. actually the X weighs in pretty light at around 50mb - and can probably be trimmed and stripped to less.

It's VLC that is the beast.

in total, with all the junk I have jammed on there (and it a LOT of just junk) I'm rocking about 250MB with awesome, X, and VLC and all the supporting mini binaries...

I reckon that can be trimmed to about 100ish mb for all that lot.

IM WATCHING VIDEO! YAYAYAYAYAYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I used to run fluxbox but openbox is WAY better and also easy to configure. checkout tint2 as a little menu bar.. a few icons to launch some stuff... oh, yeah!

please post a package so I can try it out! hurry, hurry!
