the main pb is that we don't want to include all the drivers for the different
graphic which would be huge. So we only use the framebuffer version. Using 3.3.6
or 4.0.2 doesn't change the pb.

The Gtk one is really alpha (or worse). Won't be out before half a year.

you're right, but we can't accept removing the i810 support which is used quite
a lot. The only solution would be to include a framebuffer driver for non-vesa
video card like the i810. Alas it must be included in the kernel and we really
are short in space for the kernel (which must fit on a floppy together with a
hell lot of modules :-( )
