Christian, I've tried that mini howto days before. It built ok, and it also works fine (I built it with support for xdmcp also, for an ARM target), but I couldn't get the colors to work. I'm only getting 4 or 6 colors, in a very *cool* combination of green, blue, pink, black, etc.....
I want to build kdrive for a really small system (2Mb of flash, 16Mb of ram, ARM based processor and a NIC). I know the video is working ok, because linux is configured with framebuffer 640x480 256 colors, and I tried it with microwindows with success. The idea is to use this tiny machine as an X-Terminal. It is working now, I'm running kde in an Athlon (the server), and it is working really cool (fast enough!), except for the ugly colors...... I've been looking at the source code, and make some modifications whatever I believed that had something to do with the colormap, but didn't have success (oscolor.c, kcmap.c, kcolor.c, fbcmap.c). Also tried something that Matthew post to this mailing list, but it didn't work. I've also built it for an x86 target, tried it in the Athlon, and it worked exactly the same, with the same colors........ so I'm sure the problem is with the software, not the machine. This was posted 3 or 4 times in this mailing list, but didn't get any hint that works yet (well... I really get only one hint)..... If someone can give me a starting point, that will be really appreciated.
