Ah, interesting a thing.  I did not know about it.

But where to get a device with Android 5?

(Actually I'm confused.  I lived in the untested believe that the
graphics under Android is not based on X.  So how can this work at all?)

This assessment is surprising to me.  Maybe I did not yet run into the
issues?

For a couple of days I've been trying this out.  On debian/ARM.

Just yesterday I discovered a severe bug in the iup egg (and reported to
Thomas Chust in private mail).  This sure needs to be fixed.  There is
also an issue with the integration into the i/o polling.  (I sent a
related question to the iup list just minutes ago.)

But otherwise is seems to work quite well.
