minimal image with X11 support?

Has anyone made a minimal rootfs image for Palm TX that has X11 support? I have tried building some images using openembedded, including Opie and GPE. I got a GPE image running, but it is ridiculously slow, and not usable.
I would like to run Pd, a sound programming langauge, on the Palm TX. It uses X11 for the graphics. Pd is already running well on iPAQs, Nokia N770, Zaurii, and even 3rd/4th gen iPods (without X11 graphics), so it must run well on Palms.

right, that I have done, but I haven't been able to figure out which packages I need to include in order to get an xserver to start. I have been working know starting with minimal-gpe-image. I have it very stripped down, but the only way I've found to get the xserver to automatically start is to include gpe-dm. That means I have to create an account, and all that.

I got one step further, I got the thing to auto-login into the root account by adding this to my bitbake recipe:
ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND += "set_image_autologin"
But gpe-dm, matchbox-desktop, and the window manager are still being started. So I am still looking to get nothing but X11 and Pd running. I have gotten close by writing a little script to
killallthe extra processes.
