: I had scoured the mailing list archives and found a refrence to making
: nano-x run on an LCD connected via a parallel port.  There was only a
: response that it could be done.  Does anyone have any more detailed
: information about it?  Any parts of the source code I should study to help
: guide myself down the "enlightened" path?

Study the SCREENDEVICE struct in include/device.h, read the
Architecture doc on the web site, and look at a sample simple
screen driver (say scr_svga.c) in src/drivers.  You'll basically
just take the entry points for the screen driver and driver the LCD
display.  you don't have to implement blit the first time.


: I actually have 2 projects I am using nano-x for. a set-top mp3 player/web
: appliance and as a replacement os with Linux for the clarion autopc.

Cool.  I'd like to see the clarion stuff.

Regards,

Greg
