Hi.
 
(Stephen) I must admit I never having thought to try 'startx' on an embedded 
target.
 
The DM355 will start the X server if you boot from the supplied NFS root 
filesystem - it did for me although I didn't have a mouse available and the 
console keyboard was not 'diverted' - I assume you are meant to have a USB 
mouse/keyobard or perhaps it just isn't configured properly (I don't have time 
to check).
 
The packages are here (assuming the MV Pro is installed in /opt/dm355):
/opt/dm355/mv_pro_4.0.1/montavista/pro/devkit/arm/v5t_le/packages/pro/
 
and includes 
xorg-x11-6.8.2-15.0.6.0600975.arm_v5t_le.mvl
xorg-x11-debuginfo-6.8.2-15.0.6.0600975.arm_v5t_le.mvl
xorg-x11-dev-6.8.2-15.0.6.0600975.arm_v5t_le.mvl
xorg-x11-doc-6.8.2-15.0.6.0600975.arm_v5t_le.mvl
xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi-6.8.2-15.0.6.0600975.arm_v5t_le.mvl
xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi-6.8.2-15.0.6.0600975.arm_v5t_le.mvl
xorg-x11-fonts-cyrillic-6.8.2-15.0.6.0600975.arm_v5t_le.mvl
xorg-x11-fonts-encodings-6.8.2-15.0.6.0600975.arm_v5t_le.mvl
xorg-x11-fonts-misc-6.8.2-15.0.6.0600975.arm_v5t_le.mvl
xorg-x11-fonts-truetype-6.8.2-15.0.6.0600975.arm_v5t_le.mvl
xorg-x11-fonts-type1-6.8.2-15.0.6.0600975.arm_v5t_le.mvl
xorg-x11-libs-6.8.2-15.0.6.0600975.arm_v5t_le.mvl
xorg-x11-xserver-6.8.2-15.0.6.0600975.arm_v5t_le.mvl
 
The window manager (if you need one) is IceWM
icewm-1.0.9-13.0.0.0600975.arm_v5t_le.mvl
 
The .mvl files are just RPM files renamed. These can be extracted & merged into 
a smaller root filesystem manually or you need DevRocket to do it for you as 
part of 'rolling your own' root filesystem.

Hi
it seems that 355 EVM doesn't have any Xserver configured. we have 355 EVM with 
MV Pro 4.0.1 eval version. does it comes with XServer ?
if yes where we can configure it?>
 
Thanks
Krishna

        Just curious, but what is wrong with the X server that comes with the 
355 EVM?
        
        I just typed 'startx' and it launched on the VGA framebuffer...

                We went through this issue a while back ourselves.....
                
                There is nothing stopping you 'porting' an X server (say nano 
X) to the DM355 apart from the effort involved. This 'effort' may cost you more 
in development time/cost than paying for an existing commercial package.
                
                You could go the QTopia route - there are other embedded 
platforms that have done this, touch screens as well.
                
                We ended up with PEG (http://www.swellsoftware.com) and Trinity 
were so impressed, they bought the company ;-)
                
                We have Opera running on DM6446 incidentally.

                Hi Every One
                
                I need to create Graphics applications on DM355 board with 
MontaVista Linux. 
                EVM came MontaVista Pro 4.0.1 Evaluation version.
                
                Example application like will TouchScreen based Adress Book and 
selecting some butons etc and we also plan to use Opera (or similer) webbrowser 
for broswing.
                
                What will be the best possible solution for this?
                is GTK+ Ok?
                
                MontaVista Says they Have Graphics Tools in Pro edition, but 
doesn't have in the eval version. Do we need to get Full Licence Version to 
enable X Windows on DM355 EVM board.
                
                Thanks
