I don't think xfs on FR-V is not required. Possibly,
Mr. Tor Lillqvist advises following test:


x86 PC                             ->   FR-V
ip: 192.168.0.1                         ip: 192.168.0.2

+------------------------------+        +------------------------+
| env DISPLAY=192.168.0.2:0 \  |        | xhost + 192.168.0.1    |
|   xlsfonts                   |        |                        |
|                              |        |                        |

By executing "xhost + ..." on FR-V for first, FR-V permits to
access its X-server over IP network (e.g.: x86 PC). In next,
by setting "DISPLAY=...", xlsfonts command on remote x86 PC
connects to X-server on FR-V over IP network, and extracts
available font list on FR-V.

Another example... after "xhost + ..." on FR-V, you execute
"env DISPLAY=192.168.0.2:0 xterm" on x86 PC. If works correctly,
you can find xterm window on FR-V. In this xterm window, you
can execute program on x86 PC, within X-server on FR-V.
So, execute "xlsfonts" in the xterm window - the printed font
list is of X-server on FR-V.

If I'm misunderstanding, Mr. Tor, please correct me.

I'm sorry for your difficult experience to crossbuild xlsfonts.
The reason why I didn't ask remote xlsfonts and I asked to use
native xlsfonts on your target is that I wanted you to do atomic
test without uncertainity.

Oops. So, you don't have testgtk? Could you compile it on x86 PC
and display it, as "xterm" example which I've written in above?

If I can obtain toolkit for FR-V or detailed environment (Linux
kernel version, glibc version, X11 version), I will cross build
it for you.
