Hi,
We are using nano-X and flnx to develop applications on ARM-linux.
Message below was posted in arm-linux mailing list. Can someone
explain in more details about the problems mentioned below. Also
are there patches available for these problems?
Thanks in advance

There are currently a couple of things that I consider completely broken
in microwindows:
1. It doesn't know how to setup grayscale displays.
2. It doesn't initialise the framebuffer correctly, and does a nasty
VT switch hack to perform text-based updates on the display.
I'm not currently interested in fixing these problems in microwindows;
there's enough work going in with kernels to keep me fully occupied at
the moment.
I have produced code snippets to fix (2) in the past - search the list
archive.
