I have the same problem on my PC (Diamond Stealth); I use my NetWinder
instead.

Sounds cool.

I'm not so convinced about Mozilla, personally. It seems such an ugly
mess. If only the QNX browser was Open Source... For a set top box though,
I suppose you would want a browser with all the latest features (CSS,
etc.). Using NanoGUI as well has the advantage that it should be much
easier to adapt to anything you want than X, due to it's simplicity, plus
the lower amount of flash it uses should save you quite a bit of money per
box ;)
