I was able to get ratpoison running on a Xubuntu install on the XO;
however, I encountered some problems when trying to run it on the
Fedora-base install that comes standard on the XO. I posted a comment
about this on the OLPC forum:
http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=1955.msg15262#msg15262
There was some comment on my post (and I see that you Shawn also made
a comment). Heng was able to suggest a patch (see here:
http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=1955.msg15609#msg15609) that
allowed me to at least get ratpoison to compile and run. However, the
default font that ratpoison uses is way too small to be usable on the
small XO.
Heng suggested (see here:
http://olpcnews.com/forum/index.php?topic=1955.msg15948#msg15948) that
adding support for Xft might be the solution, but that sounds like a
lot of work.
