I have it running on the latter one now. They key for me was deleting that remaining root directory after an uninstall, and starting over.

I'd appreciate help in fleshing out the screen resolutions that work best (I know 1900x1200 doesn't, it makes everything too small), how to operate with just a touch-screen, how best to start up and close GNUroot/XSLT/Xastir, etc. I'll add to the Wiki as better ideas come through the list.

I don't have a bluetooth keyboard to play with, but have a BT mouse if needed. I'd rather not need it.

I couldn't close the X-server when done playing last night, so just shut down the tablet instead. Not the best solution, but it solved the problem.
