Uh how?
I used pmbootstrap to install phosh. Then after booting up my phone I did sudo apk add xeyes and then was able to launch xeyes. The xeyes showed up right away, and responded by looking where I was tapping around them.
I also did apk add xterm locally and launched it. It appeared on screen. I was even able to ssh -Y to my Linux machine and launch xterm remotely there, and it appeared on my PinePhone after a few seconds. Incredible.
However in both xterm attempts (local and remote), even though they graphically appeared correctly, I did find that the keyboard didn’t send the correct characters. I got a bunch of punctuation marks when I typed enters, spaces, and backspaces. So maybe some kind of Wayland vs x11 encoding issue?
Still off topic, but FYI here is a screenshot of running xcalc under phosh which works perfectly.
