Well there is that too. The Gnu folks got this right a long time ago when they separated glib and gtk. But that is not really what I mean. What I am saying is that X is way too big a hammer for the job. DirectFB is much better suited at the kind of space that Myth is in -- the STB. But that would take QT being able to run on DirectFB which AFAIK it does not. :-( QT-Embedded (or whatever it is) is too far in the other direction. It does not have hardware acceleration (and other video card) suport that DirectFB has. b. -- My other computer is your Microsoft Windows server. Brian J. Murrell
