IIRC, there was a Opera port in progress using MWIN/NanoGUI -- but I
don't know if they plan to cover LinuxCE too.

If we had a LinuxCE computer around, I can't see why this shouldn't be
possible. Both opera and nano-X are so portable that it would be little
painful to manage this.  Of course, I would have to make sure this first
version get 100% completed first.  I will put a lot of effort in it the next
following weeks, and it will be finished soon. Thanks to Morten, it looks
REALLY nice :)

As I mentioned on one of the lists, there's no difference between Nano-X
on Linux and LinuxCE, both use the kernel framebuffer.

BTW, are you using the 16bpp alpha blend stuff and the anti-aliased fonts?

Then it all remains on adjusting for that kernel, can't see why it
shouldn't work.

At this moment, the fonts are not implemented, but soon it will be.
It is neccesary for a proper browser to work as it really should.
