Super Duper Mega GP Mania
I've uploaded GP2X11 0.2.
The main improvement is speed. I've managed to eliminate the need for gpm in the background (which was using too much of the CPU to run anything useful on top of the server without renicing gpm). A side effect of this is that the pointer now moves much more smoothly than it did before. I've also tested TV-out and it works fine but it is only in the standard GP2X resolution (I don't know how to increase the size of the framebuffer, but if you know, please let me know and I'll try to add it in).
Another notable point about this release is that all of the original mouse code in X has been left completely in fact and so, in theory, USB mice should work. However, despite my finding a USB mouse/keyboard which do work and do output data, I can't get it to work with Qtopia or X so I can't confirm that USB mice do work. Please let me know if you try one and it works (from you command line, you can pass -mouse /dev/usbmouse,{number of buttons} to Xfbdev which should force it to look at /dev/usbmouse). However, just because it should work, doesn't necessarily mean that it will.

If you have any ideas about what I can do to improve the server further, please post them here.

To install the server, copy the included 'x11' directory to
the root of your SD card and run the 'Xserver.gpu' script found
inside that directory from the 'Utilities' section of the menu.
The X devkit isn't included in this release since I'm not sure that
the libraries actually work but if you want to compile X applications
you can either build the libraries yourself or get them from a previous
release.
