: Has anyone been able to fully build microwindows-0.88-pre11 with
: something other than the supplied config.x11 file? I'm able to build ok
: with config.x11 but, for instance, using the supplied config.svga I'm
: getting a make error saying (roughly) "no rule for building
: libnwidget.a, used by wterm". I'm seeing very slow screen drawing
: performance with config.x11 and I'd like to verify better performance in
: microwindows building it with one of the lower-level or direct hardware
: drawing config files such as config.svga.

Microwindows definitely builds for framebuffer.  I have to admit
I haven't been keeping all the config.* files up to date.  The only
official one is "config" which should be a copy of "config.fb".  You
might want to diff config and config.svga, I think the problem is
that you need NWIDGETS=Y or something like that.

BTW, svgalib isn't exactly quick, I suggest you build a fb kernel
and use the framebuffer, it's nicer.

Greg
