Re: How to setup the matchbox in x86.

Ronnie,

You have to start X server with Matchbox as you window manager. I wont  
just start with the command line running. Read the manual on how to do  
this.
Also, if you wanted to, you could just run matchbox-session from the  
terminal and it would run matchbox, without the window manager.
