It worked somehow, but not really pretty, because of the black&white issue and the much smaller buttons/windows. |
My notes on the Debian chroot (I didn't try the patched kernel, but following what happens here) :
- The fb_update method is eating quite some CPU resources. I guess it's checking a buffer and updating the display every 10th of second. I don't know how the kernel stuff works, but maybe it's better.
- The matchbox WM (already present in the chroot) is quite good for such device. I also had to tweak a few things here and there (cursor settings, and keyboard layout).
