I'm beginning to think that way as well. Our local Linux users group was demoing a Raspberry Pi. They couldn't hook it directly to a monitor. Without X, they wouldn't have been able to view it on a monitor via the network. Would be curious what small graphics or GUI libraries would be recommended for such a system. At present, I'm trying to concentrate on SDL, ncurses/pdcurses and FLTK. Am currently investigating if I can find enough replacements for programs I commonly use that only require lighter weight GUI libraries. For instance, I work with audacity a lot. Some other possibilities might be apcstudio (FLTK) or rezound (Fox Toolkit), but not sure if they offer all the same editing capabilities. By the way, another non-X option besides Wayland is to use the framebuffer. There are various ports of common GUI libraries that work with DirectX and there are some interesting tools that work directly with framebuffer. Sincerely, Laura
