Well, to be honest I'm fine with that. People are still free to choose. If you want to use X11, or some framework that requires X11, then X11 is available to you. It might be possible to make Opie run well under X11, but the decision to use the framebuffer directly was made by TT a long time ago and personally I believe it to be the right one, for both performance as well as storage conservation. Besides, making a working setup of Opie under X11 would take away resources that are already stretched thin maintaining Opie as it is. > Hmm, I notice an xqt and xqt2 in the OE dev tree. How hard would it be > to have Opie using that? Xqt is designed to allow you to run X applications in a QPE (Opie) environment, not run Opie in an X environment. However, to that end it may help you to run some of the X11 applications that you currently miss under Opie.
