X(org) addon for RPis

1st Official Post

    Hi,

    My hobby is creating Kodi addons, including binary addons for the ARM devices. And I am thinking about a Chromium addon, or some really cool browser on my RPi2. But it needs an X server, which isn't included in the RPi2's LibreELEC itself. So I am thinking about an X server installer addon... Which Can be used by the Chromium addon and So on...

    I have never made X servers, but I hope, I Can compile the packages staticly. But AFAIK the X server needs some kernel options enabled...

    What Do You think, Can I create an X server addon, or it is a bad idea?

    Many thanks!

    Thanks for Your quick reply!

    But I am thinking about an addon, not to include the full Xorg server to the OS itself. :)

    BTW why the Xorg server is missing from the RPi LE? To reduce the OS size, or because of the performance loss?

    I am currently cross-compiling the whole Xserver. What Do You think, if I configure it with the .kodi/addons/service.Xorg prefix and create a package, it Can work?

    Or I have to modify the kernel also? :huh:
