I think offensivebias isn't getting fullscreen because he isn't using my Debian script that starts the Xephyr nested X-Server and then sets the display to :1. I think he's actually starting xfce4 directly in OS2008... That produces some seriously weird (but somehow really cool ) stuff.

Make sure you use fatalsaint's method for copying and modifying the xpice script.

As for hal, just "apt-get remove hal" ... you don't need it and it won't install right on the tablet. If you can't get it to uninstall, tell me and I'll tell you how to hack dpkg to get it to work. But I hope you can just get it to uninstall. dbus is the other package that doesn't install right.
