RE: X windows for Linux PPC embedded

quoted

quoted

I would like to ask, if there is some project
for porting X windows system to Embedded
PPC Linux. I use board with MPC823E with
VGA TFT display+touch screen, 32MB RWM,
4MB FLASH, Ethernet, serial RS232,....
I would like to use it as remote graphic terminal
communicating via Ethernet by means of X protocol.
Does somebody know how to make it work ?

There is nothing much to port.  Few months back I had cross-compiled TinyX
successfully for a MPC860 board on x86 platform.
Except the proprietary touch screen interface(we added this ourself),
everything else worked fine on the target framebuffer device.  But I

haven't

tried the complete X.
I hope this information is useful for you.

Thank you for your information. We have 32M of DRAM, 16M of FLASH on board.
Do you think it is sufficient for make tinyX working?

               HANYS

It is more than enough.  We had 16M of DRAM and 16M of FLASH on the target.

Could you send me please appropriate link to TinyX source tree
you successfully used for building working X ?
