It is intended for use on fixed-sized framebuffers (e.g. the Linux framebuffer, or the ABLE framebuffer) and would be used fullscreen, as the only program running on the system. In addition to the Linux and ABLE framebuffer implementations there is also an SDL framebuffer implementation. This was created to simplify the process of developing NetSurf's framebuffer front end. If it's useful to anyone as more than a debug and testing aid, then that's a bonus. It doesn't matter that SDL can support window size changes. The point is there is no NetSurf front end targeting SDL, only a front end targeting simple framebuffers that happens to have an implementation in SDL. So, since the framebuffer front end is designed as a straightforward front end for fixed-size framebuffers, it does not matter whether SDL can support window resizing -- the functionality is simply not provided though the framebuffer front end. -- Michael Drake (tlsa) http://www.netsurf-browser.org/
