Of course you can run microwindows without X11.
However you need to have nanoX server running instead (which is much smaller than X11).
Without nanoX server running, you will get the messages you are getting.
If you have an X11 app you want to make work with nanoX then you also need to link it with nxlib.
If you have a microwindows app, then it should run with nanoX by itself.
I have a FLTK app compiled for X11, linked with nxlib that works on an embedded machine with nanoX server running (framebuffer) under text based Linux (2.6.9) with RTAI extensions.
It works!

Dear all
I am using Micowindows-0.91 on Fedora core 3 , linux version 2.6.17 on a
pentium 4 processor(i686).
I have copied the file 'src/Configs/config.x11' to 'src/config' in the src
directory as per the installation directions given in the 'src/INSTALL'
file.
The demo 'demo.sh' is working fine but when I'm switching to init level 3 ,
I'm not able to run the same demo.
The error message given is
nxclient : retry connest attempt 1
nxclient : retry connest attempt 2
nxclient : retry connest attempt 3
nxclient : retry connest attempt 4
nxclient : retry connest attempt 5
nxclient : retry connest attempt 6
nxclient : retry connest attempt 7
nxclient : retry connest attempt 8
nxclient : retry connest attempt 9
nxclient : retry connest attempt 10
Can't open graphics
I have even tried to use the other config files ( config.fb , config.fb2 ,
config.fb3 ) in the 'src/Configs' directory in an attempt to use the
framebuffer(Though I can not locate any framebuffer file like '/dev/fb').
I have searched the net on the same topic but still not able to find any
working solution.
I have tried 'DirectFB-0.9.25.1' as well but still not able to solve the
problem.
I have also tried out using xnlib but that also uses X11.
I am trying to find out a platform on which these demo can run without the
help of X-server.
Can Nano-X run without the support of X11 ?
Kindly give me some pointers to the problem so that I can run these demo and
other applications satisfactorily from 'init level 3' (without the X-server
running).
