Wow..
I looked at nano-X a few days ago, and almost dismissed it due to the
problems I had getting the framebuffer device up and running on my
machine (I've got a S3 Trio card... One of those that _doesn't_ work with
vesafb, arg.), and the mess in the graphics driver code at that time.
Guess this means will almost certainly use nano-X for our Linux based
set-top box/ webpad type machine.
I've got a long list of features I'd like, and if nano-X keeps improving
at this rate we'll be putting at least one full time developer on helping
out with further development.
And one of the requirements we have, is that we need to port Mozilla to
whatever graphics library we use - we plan to allocate people to that
too... :)
Keep up the good work!
