Hello and welcome. Yes, although I don't specifically remember the Intel
Dot.Station being mentioned here before, many such devices can benefit from the work done in the RULE project.

Agreed.

Absolutely. Tiny-X is now known as k-drive and you can find a tar file in the download section of our site for it whch should be decompressed at the / level in a Fedora (RULE or otherwise) install so that the various files are placed in /opt. There is also a short script that sets up the link from /usr/X11R6/bin/X to XVesa in a subdirectory of /opt (or you could do it manually.)
