Hi all,

I am very new to the GUI thing. I don't know how it works. 
I just have base Linux kernel running on an EBD9312 ARM Embedded Board
with Linux Prompt working & no display.

Now, I want to provide GUI support to the existing Linux. Now I just
want to know are there any kernel modules that the kernel should have
to support the GUI? The framebuffer driver is already active. I have
NO X server on the machine because of memory constraints.

I have gone through a lot of Maillists which say I need to some GUI
Library or tools like

        GtkFB â does NOT use X11
        Qt/Embedded â Direct Framebuffer access and so on.

I have a very basic doubt here. I mean how I can launch the GUI
Application when there is no UI (NO X server). I think there will be
an intermediate desktop like thing which I am missing from where I can
launch my application. Is there any thing like that for an ARM
embedded system.

Please help to understand this?

Regards,
Mukund jampala
