It seems we are near now. Xterm asks for two previous issues to be solved: the ncurses library, and the input method. DHer has superposed a second ncurses upon the one installed in the iLiad and it seems this was enough to get xrandr working (note how stupid it is that xrandr asks for ncurses: this is the typical chaos of package dependences). The input method needs some kernel modules: usbmouse.o or hid.o or similar ones for the kernel 2.4; given that the Zaurus does not have a "USB A" connection, we will need to look for these modules elsewere or compile them ourselves. It is possible to compile modules without having the ful source of the kernel; some students of me did it for the Zaurus 5500 a couple years ago.
A more convolved input method could be to jack a bluetooth tongle in the USB port and manage input from a BT keyboard. This is even more complicated.
A third alternative could be to wifi-network with a machine having a keyboard and do some bridging. For a stable method I think it will be the funnier solution: a PDA plus an iLiad, cloning somehow the chinese Hanlin V2.
@R2D2: The problem is not long hair, it is the facial hair. I must use a barber blade to get rid of it after three weeks.
