that's the good thing about having an OS which is separate from the
GUI. a linux PDA need not run the X Window system. in fact, it would
be unlikely to do so.
there are several alternatives for Linux which are IMHO more suitable
for a PDA: GGI, nano-X, raw framebuffer access, or even SVGAlib (if
you have a standard controller).
GGI is probably the most promising ...
