We have an embedded device, running on an x86 platform, linux 2.4 kernel. The video display is a fixed 320x240x8 display. We are currently using SVGAlib to control and paint the screen for our application.
Per Dilbert, we've been told our application needs to be more 'webbish'. Upon perusing the information on Gecko, it seems we should be able to add the ability to read and display HTML pages. User input and output are handled by our application, and might be passed to the Gecko engine to go fetch and process a web page. I have a few questions not covered by the FAQ: 1) About how much disk space is required for a minimal Gecko engine on the embedded system? I see that adding Java adds 7MB. 2) How much RAM is required for Gecko to operate? 3) Would a 486/33 be able to paint a 320x240 screen in a reasonably short amount of time, i.e., a small fraction of a second? 4) Can Gecko use SVGAlib instead of X? The answers to these are critical because of the existing hardware. Expanding it at all is expensive, and severely limited. (Yeah, yeah, we're working on a new platform.)
