[Voyage-linux] how to run X and a window manager on alix with vga

[Fiorellino]

Hi there,

I'm one step closer to what I want to achieve with my alix.

Here is a very quick howto of what I did to have X and openbox running on
top of the latest lenny based voyage linux.

apt-get install xorg openbox
apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-geode (maybe this was already there, I'm
not sure!)
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (my xorg.conf was almost empty when I checked
it. This command populates it a little bit)
"Xorg -scanpci" and look for the line that says Geode LX Video to find the
correct BusID (in my case 0:1:1)
vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf to add the geode driver. In particular, in the Section
"Device" I added the following two lines:
Driver "geode"
BusID "PCI:0:1:1"
startx

now I hope that X will be visible also on my LCD TV....

To this extent, I have a question for the group. Since I can't see the
textual interface from alix on my screen at home, I can only connect using
SSH.

Is there a way to start X from SSH?

Thank you.

Cheers,

alfonso
