Therefore my card has a 2 partitions and Angstrom works right.

Thank you for the answer.
I just installed matrix_gui
And now?
How I run the matrix_gui?
If I execute /usr/bin# ./matrix_quiE the answer is:

QWSSocket:: … connection refused
no Qt ofr Embedded Linux Server appear to be running.
If you want to run this program as a server, add the “-qws” command-line option.

I also installed qt4-embedded but the result is the same.

Hi,

execute ./matrix_quiE -qws

If I execute ./matrix_quiE -qws, I have a DVI monitor black and if I move the mouse I see two cursor and where I move the cursor re-appear the Angstrom desktop.

maxtrix-gui runs as a service, try the following:

/etc/init.d/matrix-gui-e start

thank you for the answer
I try /etc/init.d/matrix-gui-e start and the answer is:
Calibrating touchscreen … ts_calibrate: not found
Ok, because I have a beagleboard-xm connected only a DVI monitor.
Therefore I think that I re-build my project for my hardware: correct?
I follow the guide
http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/How_to_Build_the_Matrix_GUI
and now?
