XCI-SX1 SDK / SDK Technical Manual

Just like the camera driver, running modprobe skxflash inserts the
module to the kernel. Adding skxflash entry on the /etc/modules
file will also enable this module to be loaded at system boot up. The
source code of the flash driver is also installed in
/usr/smartcam/src/skxflash

directory. Just make to build

skxflash.o

.

2.5 Library Installation

2.5.1 XFree86

XFree86 is an open source X11-based desktop infrastructure that
provides a client/server interface between the display hardware (the
mouse, keyboard, and video displays) and the desktop environment
while also providing both the windowing infrastructure and a
standardized application interface (API). (http://www.xfree86.org/).

2.5.1.1 XFree86 Installation

The library version used for this system is version 4.4.0. The following
steps below describe how to compile and install the XFree86 application.

1.

make World

- compiles the said application

2.

make install

- copies the required files to where they needed to be

Before running startx, do the command below:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin

To export this path upon system start up, add this path in
/etc/profiles:

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/X11R6
/bin

An X11 configuration file is created in /etc/X11/XF86Config.
However configured XF86Config files are already installed on SDK.
XF86Config.en

is for US keyboard layout, XF86Config.jp is for JP

keyboard layout.
