XGGI (http://www.stacken.kth.se/~mackan/ggi/xggi/) should run fine on the 823 together with my not-yet-released-but-as-soon-as-I-get-time- to-commit-it LibGGI driver for the 823. However I have not attempted to cross-compile XGGI yet, so someone with a faster LinuxPPC box than an 8xx and some spare time is welcome to try a native compile. Unlike Microwindows XGGI is a real, full-featured, X-server. This ofcourse means that it's larger than Microwindows, but it's still smaller than common X-servers: XF86_SVGA - 2.6 MB XF86_FBDev - 1.9 MB XGGI - 1.5 MB //Marcus ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
