Dustin Carlino is exploring the wide world of svga libraries and programs. He says they are quick but require direct hardware access and must be run as root. They also lack network awareness.
You also know about qtopia on Zaurus. X was only recently ported to palmtops. I've been meaning to ask you which multi-auth package I should use for Opie. It might be that there are no replacements for X because X works. I have a feeling that adding users, networking, clipboards and other goodies to libsvga would produce something much like X. X can't be that hard to work with. Look at all the programs that come with X and at window managers like fluxbox. I don't know, though, the only programming like that I've ever done was with the win95 API, which was easy. KDE and Gnome do exist and I'm much more willing to learn them than I was the MFC. I'm too fat dumb and happy with KDE to worry. On Tuesday 18 January 2005 08:07 pm, John Hebert wrote: >The reason why KDE and Gnome exist is because X is a pain to write apps > for.
