I've put pygtk onto a Gumstix Overo board, which uses the XFCE desktop manager (GTK-based). At the moment, I'm using a Tobi expansion board and a full-sized monitor, but eventually I want to switch to a Chestnut43 board with a 4.3" LCD.
At present, I can successfully launch a graphical Python app from a terminal window on the screen, but on a tiny LCD I want the app to fill the screen, so I want to launch from something else. If I try launching the Python app from a serial console, it barfs because it doesn't know what to display it on. Can anyone explain to me how PyGTK finds the windowing system so that it can create its window? Is it something in the environment? I don't see any likely candidate. Eventually, I may want to use an X server on another machine to run a development console, in which case I'll still want my PyGTK app to use the small LCD instead of putting itself up on my X server. But for now, is there some way I can run Python from a serial console and have it put up a PyGTK window on the only display? -- Ciao, Paul D.
