Chaos, I have lots of questions for you.
What OS does this PDA have? Linux? A PDA version? Modified or just trimmed down? What programs does it run? PalmOS apps, by chance? Linux apps? OS X apps?!!!
Maybe some of these questions are answered by what you said:
"basically - there's one ROM image that runs full X11 - other ROM images have more traditional PDA software", but it happens that I don't fully understand.
What is a ROM image? Is it what you have installed in a ROM?
Can you play freely with the ROM of a Zaurus (unlike those of us who have a Palm)?
Does "More traditional software" mean PalmOS applications?
X11, as I understand, is the graphical interface between *nix OSs and the user. Is that so? If it is, then what is below those ROM images running "full X11"?
Sorry, lots of questions, but I think they're the kind you like.
Thank you.
