Better to add a swap partition, or swap file. Else you will get out of memory
error when for example apt-get install something. Here is my /etc/fstab:
The 3rd line is for swap, make sure to change the first column to your
partition device.
If you can not create new partition for swap, just add a swap file. Refer

Better to start openmoko-panel-plugin, else you will get frustrated by the
matchbox keyboard (suppose you choose it):
Add a new line to file /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart:
@openmoko-panel-plugin
With the panel plugin you can easily hide/open the keyboard. BTW, the
openmoko frameworkd and panel plugin eats quite a bit memory :)
Maybe it's a good idea to move the tray from bottom panel to (newly created)
top panel.
To do this, add a new file (named for example top-panel) in
/root/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels/
with the content of
Then
(1) remove the tray from /usr/share/lxpanel/profile/LXDE/panels/panel
(2) OR just copy this file to dir /root/.config/lxpanel/LXDE/panels/, rename
it to "config" -- this overrides the default panel configuration.
The biggest problem of LXDE on touch screen phone is UI. To do right click,
install libgtkstylus and add it to ~/.xsession:
export GTK_MODULES=libgtkstylus.so
xsetroot -solid black # strange
exec startlxde
NOTE: do backups before modifications.
Regards.
