I was a little confused on X apps on N770. For instance, I looked for the xterm binary, but didn't find it. Not even an "xterm" sym link to a bin. I did a 'find / -name "*xterm*"' and discovered the "osso-xterm" files. Didn't know quite what to make of them. They don't seem to be executable by themselves. By that, I mean I can't get a new xterm by executing any them from the existing xterm. I guess I have to do some reading (at maemo.org maybe?) about how the N770 really works. It seems somewhat different from the Unix flavor I usually work with.

On other platforms, when I need to test whether I have good X functionality, I always just try to execute "xclock" as a test. But, no xclock on the N770. In fact (as you indicate) there aren't really any "normal" X apps that I can see.

I wonder if the folks that use openssh (instead of dropbear) are able to do X forwarding.



Previously, I just didn't fully understand what you were suggesting I do because xhost is not an XP Pro command utility. I now understand you were making an analogy.


I appreciate the comments. Very instructive.
