[ELDK] Denx distribution with x86 support

Hello all,

 I've got a working embedded system running Xenomai v2.5.5. The user
interface has been developed with Qt Embedded. The kernel has been compiled
using the ELinOS Embedded Linux distribution.

Now, I want to change that interface to X11 so that I can use a desktop
manager as well as some other X11 applications. The ELinOS distribution has
an XServer, but it lacks a way of easily adding any desktop manager. Thus,
I’m thinking about using another Linux distribution.

I’va asked in the Yocto mailing list about a Linux distribution with
support for the x86 platform, a destop manager and Xenomai in an embedded
system, and I’ve been told about Denx.

I see that the Denx distribution has no support for the x86 platform. As my
project is a medium-term project, do you plant to have support for it? Do
you recommend me another solution?

I'm using an Atom N270 chipset.

Thanks in advance, best regards,

Asier
