Posted this on Angstrom-users mailing list this morning but no luck so far, wondering if anyone knows what is going on:
I just downloaded an image for Beagleboard-xM via Narcissus, I
selected X11 from the dropdown menu, and ticked xfce4 desktop environment. Its working fine in console mode (via minicom/serial and via svideo output to my tv).
When I tried to run xfwm4 I get:
root at beagleboard:~# xfwm4
(xfwm4:1029): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
I looked in /etc and there was no X11 folder. I did opkg update then
tried opkg install base-x11, but it said no such package. So I
installed xserver-xorg.
When I tried startx, I got:
root at beagleboard:~# startx
hostname: beagleboard: Unknown host
/usr/bin/startx: line 183:
/OE/angstrom-dev/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/mcookie: not found
Couldn't create cookie
So I created the directories and a symbolic link from /usr/bin/mcookie
to /OE/angstrom-dev/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/mcookie (though I am
not sure why it is "x86_64-linux" in the file path)
Trying again gives:
root at beagleboard:~# startx
hostname: beagleboard: Unknown host
/usr/bin/startx: line 183: xauth: not found

I am not sure what to try next. Are there other opkg packages I should
install before altering any config files and such? Should these X
packages have been assembled into the filesystem by Narcissus, anyway?
I can get console output on the tv via svideo, and also video output playing ogg videoclips with omapfbplay. But to go through X means no picture.
Thanks, Brett.
