Hi All,
I am currently building a GP2X Dev Environment, GP2niX, and I came across an implimentation of XFree86 that compiles into a single, small executable file, no libs or fonts required. It used to be known as TinyX, but was absorbed by XFree86 and included in the source tree.
I have tried building it for linux myself, with little success. Once I get it working on PC, it would be nice to see if it can run on GP2X, but I want to ask some questions first.
Input: Is there a way to map the input to be close to a mouse? Perhaps reconfigure GPM (mouse daemon) and change the input method to match the GP2X controls? Just a thought.
The only thing that KDrive required to build is LibPNG, which should be easily ported to GP2X if it isn't already.
Is anyone interested on testing this out, I would be more than happy to help, but doing it all myself would end in disaster because I have no skills (hacking skills, ninja skills, rope tying skills.... )
Anyways... woudl be interesting to see if we can get KDrive on the GP2X.
BTW KDrive can build 2 servers XfbServer (frame buffer) or XVesaServer (vesa)... we could probably get xfbserver going easily enough.
