Introduction
Even if using an Xserver in an embedded context is most of the times not a necessity, it could be interesting in some "PDA like" applications, where existing applications reuse is needed. Even if recent embedded systems are capable of running a full Xorg server, in embedded systems we prefer to use the reduced version TinyX/Xfbdev, which is an upper layer of the Linux Framebuffer.
Installing
$ make menuconfig
Package Selection for the target --->
Graphic libraries and applications (graphic/text) --->
[*] X.org X Window System, X11R7, release 7.5 --->
TinyX
Xserver
Launching
$ Xfbdev -mouse mouse $ export DISPLAY=:0.0
then you will need to load a window manager (like Matchbox) and some applications....
