raster said: """and how do you propose to display the dialog, request and on-screen keyboard as well as handle input... without x? :) (other than re-implementing it all) :)""" so this is already answered... you're proposing we should reinvent the well (or add some other library that does, like ecore-fb, suggested by mike). Also, bear in mind that you oversimplifying a task, like in this case a GUI operation, doesn't help... if adopted can cause problems in future... remember that a compiler is "just convert some text to binary commands" and a kernel is "just a program to abstract hardware access"... :-( -- Gustavo Sverzut Barbieri http://profusion.mobi - Embedded and Mobile Software Development -------------------------------------- MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Skype: gsbarbieri Mobile: +55 (81) 9927 0010
