I got ahold of an older laptop to which I've installed Debian Sid. Since it's a low memory setup, I'd like to use one of those xvesa thingies rather than a full-blown Xwindows. I've noted that there seems to be something like this in Debian unstable: it's called xserver-tinyx-fbdev. So, I apt-get(ted) it. I can't quite figure out what to do from here, though. startx doesn't do anything, nor does x, xvesa or any other sensible command I can think of (by "doesn't do anything" I mean the system comes back with the message that it doesn't know the command when I issue it). Can anyone here help me get this low-resource gui (if that really is what this package is for) thing sorted out and working on my system?
Thanks, James
I never heard of tinyx before, but this page may help a bit:
http://www.superant.com/cgi-bin/smalllinux.pl?SmallXFAQ
It ssuggests there should also be documentation under /usr/doc/*tinyx*/ or /usr/share/doc/*tinyx*/
HTH,
Joris
