Thanks in advance...

To get the UI you install Xephyr on your host OS and then run e.g. Xephyr :2 -host-cursor -screen 800x480x16 -dpi 96 -ac -kb &

Then you export DISPLAY=:2 in your Fremantle x86-32 environment and then execute af-sb-init.sh start (not ARMEL, won't work).

From this shell you can also execute commands to requiring X11, they will then connect to DISPLAY=:2 because you exported that environment making in permanent in that shell instance.

If you have another shell open running Fremantle x86-32 you can run DISPLAY=:2 command_to_execute and it'll use the correct DISPLAY environment. Or, you could export again DISPLAY environment ie. export DISPLAY=:2 also you can export this automatically by putting export DISPLAY=:2 in your ~/.bashrc (assuming you use Bash).
