Hi, I asked the Multi Point team regarding Multi Point's support for X Server and they replied "If you’re referring to a UNIX X Server, no." Another suggestion was to implement something myself using Multi Point has an API available. Yes, Multi Point has a full SDK available. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=f851122a-4925-4788-bc39-409644ce0f9b
Actually, I am trying to develop applications one such application the OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) on which we have Sugar OS. A little bit info about Sugar and OLPC is given here. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cross-platform/monosugar.aspx I would be thankful for helping me with further steps on how I could implement Multi Point myself.
