I had been thinking that it would also be a good idea to provide both X11
and framebuffer environments, since there almost certainly won't be room for
both in the base image. I assume that opie needs to be built differently
for X11 and Qt/e, though I haven't looked at this at all really. I have an
xfree86-tinyx deb (in unstable) which runs X on the framebuffer and supports
the Zaurus touchscreen, using a daemon which translates the Zaurus
touchscreen events into equivalent iPAQ touchscreen events (which
xfree86-tinyx supports). It's a little rough, but does work. Eventually,
it would be nice for xfree86-tinyx to support the Zaurus touchscreen
natively and get rid of the daemon hack.
Ideally, we would be able to support configurations like:
- opie on qt/e
- opie on x11
- traditional x11 with matchbox and a menu of some sort
This might be a little ambitious for the first cut of the packages, if it's
nontrivial, but it's something to keep in mind.
