Thanks Adam, I got it to work.
In case anyone else is interested, I copied the classic.jar and classic.manifest from the chrome directory of minimo_ce 0.0.13 into /usr/lib/mozilla-minimo/chrome. (I overwrote the files that were there, after backing them up first.)
Then I set the display to :0 and started minimo as I described above. I was greeted with a new layout that allowed me to change the URL. I tried to copy the whole mozilla-minimo folder to CF and run it from there (so I didn't need to overwrite the files in /usr/lib/mozilla-minimo/chrome) but it still was using the /usr/lib/mozilla-minimo/chrome directory, so I had to overwrite them anyway.
Display refresh is problematic; even with the patched libX11 the display frequently does not update correctly. In these cases I run "displayMgrClient" to force a refresh.
Also heavy JavaScript sites (Google maps) can sometimes be quite slow, to the extent that Minimo gives a warning window about the script taking too long to run, asking if you want to abort or continue it.. I sometimes have to click continue once or twice but the page will eventually load. Making matters worse though, sometimes the warning window doesn't refresh correctly; only the frame is drawn. In those cases I first run displayMgrClient to refresh the display, then click on the "Continue" button.
It's kinda cool looking at Google maps on the iLiad, and the resolution is quite nice! It's a bit slow however.
My next goal is to write a simple web page that uses JavaScript to dynamically refresh itself without any user interaction.
