But the alternative is to have a ARM variant of distro - such as Debian, Arch, Slack - yes there's work involved but that's an exercise for you :) | |

that's called a server (where X clients are displayed) -- the OP agreed in a comment that he is looking for an X-server

| Dec 13, 2011 at 8:13 | comment | added | ern0 | Yep, I'm looking for X server, that's the piece of software implements X terminal. It does not need to access the hardware directly, it just have to send/receive X11 protocol over IP. There're X server programs for Windows, where X server is implemented using Windows API, not the hardware. Also, there are computers, which are dedicated X terminals, so there is no (access to) underlying operating systems, you have to connect a host running software able to use X11 (Xlib, sess/win/desktop manager, X apps etc.). | |
| Dec 12, 2011 at 16:31 | comment | added | offby1 | Technically, I think you're looking for an X server that runs on your phone, not a client. Phrasing it that way suggests why it's unlikely: X servers are big and complex, and (I assume) need direct access to hardware. That suggests you're unlikely to find one. | |

| Oct 2, 2011 at 15:13 | comment | added | Iterator | I'm still not clued in: what's the argument against VNC? Is the OP being reasonable or am I missing something? | |
| Jan 6, 2011 at 22:26 | comment | added | ern0 | Yep, I know that there's no "native support" for X11 on Android, and therefore there will be no such joyful experience like on GNU/Linux, where I can use the same display for programs running on different machines seamlessly. Even on a big tablet, X11 will be a separate App, I assume, as just if it were VNC. | |
| Jan 6, 2011 at 10:51 | comment | added | Lie Ryan | You don't find much about X11 on Android because Android does not use X11 display stack; the only advantage of using remote X11 over VNC is if the connecting machine also have X11 so it can use its own display stack instead of the server's. | |
