Howdy... I have an interesting situation / learning experience that I can't find much information about on Google. A local security company is interesting in some open source surveilance software for a machine that is going to be a dedicated digital video recorder. So basically, what I want is a Linux that when it boots up, goes straight to the software that handles the video stuff (pretty common stuff, like you can show all the cameras in miniature boxes, or make one full-screen, or various combinations, and set record times for certain cameras, things like that.) It's a pretty specific purpose, and not going to be used for anything other than this digital video stuff.
I have a lot of it worked out, but one thing I have absolutely no experience in is GUI programming of any sort in Linux. What I was thinking was just a basic X server that ran this one program. But, I can't find anything about how to work with X. Any pointers to documentation on X programming or perhaps a better way of doing what I'm interested in doing would be greatly appreciated!
