One last update, and then off to bed.

I can't seem to get xfce4 running on the tablet, because, if the xomap server is running, xfce4 aborts saying that it can't start the x server. If I stop the server (I had to stop the vkb-hider first), the xorg server won't start. See below for the errors that xorg server gave me.

Here's how I shut down the hildon desktop (via SSH). I left the Xomap x-server running.

Code:

/etc/init.d/hildon-session stop

Then, I installed Xephyr, a nested X-Server, to run inside the "XOmap" x-server (apt-get install xserver-xephyr). I did the following commands to get XFce4 to start.

Code:

export DISPLAY=:0
exec /usr/bin/Xephyr :1 -screen 800x480x16 -dpi 96 -ac &
export DISPLAY=:1
startxfce4 &

THIS WORKS, and I can run XFCE4 on the tablet.

------------------

Here are the errors I got when I tried to run xfce4 directly on top of the XOmap x-server (I didn't shut down the XOmap server):

Code:

/usr/bin/startxfce4: X server already running on display :0
Agent pid 3377
The program 'xfce4-session' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadName (named color or font does not exist)'.
  (Details: serial 91 error_code 15 request_code 45 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
Agent pid 3377 killed

And here are the errors that I got when I tried to stop Xomap and run XOrg instead:

Code:

This is a pre-release version of the X server from The X.Org Foundation.
It is not supported in any way.
Bugs may be filed in the bugzilla at http://bugs.freedesktop.org/.
Select the "xorg" product for bugs you find in this release.
Before reporting bugs in pre-release versions please check the
latest version in the X.Org Foundation git repository.
