Since i haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else, if you followed this guide to get a working 720Degrees distro working on your old J820 (I suggest old Etch), and you ended up with a blue color Xfbdev, it doesn't require a recompilation as suggested. Just launch it from a ssh connection, or go to /etc/initrd, add startx to /sbin/ and do:

7:3:repspawn:/sbin/startx


Calling init 3 from the terminal will boot a perfectly clean X server. Fluxbox works like a charm (I had to add -mouse /dev/psaux to Xfbdev to get mouse working). Dillo runs faster than PIE, as well.

You'll need a swap partition on the CF, too. I could hardly run apt-get without one.
