Without having looked at the source of Qt embedded, I'm not sure this will
be easy, as Qt embedded has its own frame buffer and resource management
code (clipping, drawing, events etc.), so pure Qt embedded aps would
garble the screen and compete for mouse and keyboard, as seen
from a microwin perspective, and vice versa.
I have no idea if it is possible to replace the low level Qt drivers
in a simple manner to use microwin to do the drawing. There *is* a
development tool for Qt that draws into a shared memory area or
something, so that the resulting frame buffer can be viewed by an X11
program. Doing something similar on top of microwin could be possible
I guess, but its usefulness could be discussed.
