We have managed to get the Gnome stack functional on the ARM board. Here is a blog post that talks about that. http://fedora-arm.blogspot.com/2009/07/fedora-arm-goes-graphical.html You have to install the X and the Gnome package groups from the repositories. I suppose there are a couple of packages missing from the group, you might have to skip them manually (These are already built, just that they haven't hit the externally published repositories yet.) A detailed listed of steps is available here: http://fedora-arm.blogspot.com/2009/07/steps-for-getting-x-gnome-working.html Once that is done you should be able to get the X going. There were a few other problems seen when we installed a system this large a size. These are documented in here: http://fedora-arm.blogspot.com/2009/07/dhclient-firstboot-and-hald-woes.html I haven't given a shot to the touch-screen interfaces though. If you are looking for any set(s) of packages for the purpose, that aren't still in there, do let me know. > > Warm Regards, > Vijay Raju > Best, Kedar. _______________________________________________ fedora-arm mailing list fedora-arm@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-arm
