I run evince on several ipaqs with 32MB flash containing X + GPE +
evince + ghostscript + gconf-dbus, so the 770 with 128MB shouldn't be a
problem. Also remember that jffs2 zlib compresses all blocks transparently.
The biggest problem with evince on such devices is that it loads the
*complete* pdf into memory, which makes it pretty useless for me
(Feynman's lectures on physics are ~700MB). Gpdf gets it right but sucks
for other reasons.

regards,

Koen
