Yes, of course. I am not worried about the workstation end. There are enough options there. (Windows/Xming, Windows/eXceed, Linux, or Mac OS. Any one is good enough.) I am more concerned about the embedded end. > The problem is that the PC is the server, so you need another network > connection to the device (e.g. Telnet or SSH) to start the GUI program > (this could be e.g. KDE) that will attach to the (remote) X-Server. That's OK. Telnet or SSH to the embedded system is perfectly fine. It will be done anyway. > With these solution you don't needs an X-server in the embedded device > at all, but you do need a fully fledged Widget Set installation, unless > you application uses the X-API directly instead of a standard > Widget-based GUI API (such as GTK). This is exactly what I am trying to learn.

I am glad to hear that nano-X includes some widgets etc. Now I need to learn where they are and how to use them. My observation about the Nano-X website is that it seems to focus on supporting the actual hardware displays. Certainly it is the case on the Analog Devices KOOP website, where they talk about Nano-X driving LCD screens (see the next paragraph). You can see what the Blackfin website is saying: "Before running it on Blackfin uClinux platform, make sure your linux kernel has video framebuffer support. In our released uClinux-dist package, there are three framebuffer device drivers available: adv7171, adv7393 and TFT LCD LQ035Q7DB03." http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=uclinux-dist:microwindows The kind of remote app which I need is less than clearly described on either website.
