What exactly can be updated by opkg?

If your current display is around 150dpi, you can see what QVGA would be like with something like this: xterm -fn '*-clean-*--6-*-c-40*' & This will give you a terminal window with a 4x6 font cell (3x5 for characters + 1px spacing). Note that the automatic "smear bold" make this font unreadable,

You may find it interesting to examine the "clean" font family, in the X11 core distribution. It contains around 30 fonts in fixed-pitch pixel cells ranging from 4x6 to 8x16 and 9x15. A few sizes (esp. 8px width) include bold weights and there are even a couple of italics. Just fire up an xterm

I believe that a low-power-use auxiliary processor would be EXTREMELY valuable. There are LOTS of things that could run on a slower lower-powered processor, greatly extending battery life. At any time the high-speed high-power-use main processor can be fired up to handle the real heavy lifting.
