nanogui: Thread: How low-level should we go?

Hi,

On this Java 2 Micro Edition port for the Helio, I noticed that it does not
actually create any X windows itself, except the main one at 0,0,159, 159

I think our friends at Transvirtual are writing to the framebuffer, but I
would be quite happy staying a layer or two above that for portability's
sake.

I want to keep this as a Java only type thing, where everything that is not
in Java will be done using native methods, and the JVM (or KVM in this case)
will be the only application running.

My concern is not so much performance,  but final footprint.

Advice anyone?

Robert

Visit the MotifZone (www.motifzone.org) for info on Motif!

The framebuffer is in place in linux-vr kernel with options of 1bpp (3k fb)
and 4bpp (12k fb).

I think selecting nanoX is a good idea as the layer, transvirtual is using
fgl.

I cant agree more about the footprint, helio owners would know ;)

But pocketlinux is quite slow :(
