that depends what your display requirements & system design are? is it basically
1 app doing the display? what/how much do you display? whats the target
"hardware" and its abilities (dumb framebuffer B&W? 8bpp? 16bpp? 32bpp? any
acceleration?) what resolutions? touchscreen? other input devices? account for
all of this when choosing. X (even tinyX) is a huge sledgehammer to solve what
might be a very small problem, and in the world of embedded, smaller is better,
so never use too big a sledgehammer compared to the problem size.
