This solely depends on your usecase. If you're in for single-window-single-app paradigm, combined with some clever logic to always show a panel, then you don't really need window management. > Probably by rendering into a shared mem that gets composed to a fb frame > by some central daemon. If you do that, you quickly reinvent X ;) Seriously though, some projects have gone that way (evoak, picogui, ...), but dropped the ball. If you really do need window managment, use X. If not, fb- only could be a very viable alternative -- if only we had illume's softkeyboard working... :M: _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
