	Yes, it was very interesting discussing modifications that
could be made to Microwindows that would allow the framebuffer
to be mapped directly into the client process's address space,
and using shared code libraries to allow the client to execute the
draw code without having to pass any bitmap or drawing information
down the socket.

Of course, with such a design, it would be possible for an application
to draw all over the screen, but if they used the API, it wouldn't
ever happen.  As a security issue alone, any application could
just open the framebuffer device and draw all over anyway.

There's been considerable discussion on this list about keeping the
size of the image data down on the socket, but we hadn't considered
allowing the framebuffer to be mapped directly into each application's
address space.

I'll be thinking a little more about how we could do this.  The 
next step is separating the window management code from
the drawing management code in each of the respective APIs.
In addition, the current version could be moved to start utilizing
shared libraries.

Regards,

Greg

hello:
   I am going to make a pda project.  I install the microwindows0.89pre7.Now my strongarm's screen is 320*240.I want to know how to let my strongarm's screen convert 240*320 in the microwindows0.89pre7.and my application can place the right way.
   I find  the microwindows0.89pre8 can change by nano-X -R&-L.But My application's position  place out of the way.

                   hmx

Hi,
I've done a little on Microwindows on Palmtops (Everex running Linux-VR) but that fell by the roundside, must get back to it sometime.....

Firstly you can adjust the sizing of the X11 screen in the config file this gives you a nice way to get dimensions sorted when you're developing on the desktop.

For moving and sizing windows you can use the following functions (as described in http://www.microwindows.org/Nano-XTutorial.html)

void
GrMoveWindow(wid, x, y)
	GR_WINDOW_ID	wid;		/* window to be lowered */
	GR_COORD	x;		/* new relative x position */
	GR_COORD	y;		/* new relative y position */
Move the window to the specified position relative to its parent.

void
GrResizeWindow(wid, width, height)
	GR_WINDOW_ID	wid;		/* window to be lowered */
	GR_SIZE		width;		/* new width of window */
	GR_SIZE		height;		/* new height of window */
Resize the window to be the specified size.  Resizing of a window can
generate exposure events.

Hope this is helpfull,
Simon.

PS What do Sina make? (The web site was all Chinese to me ;-)

I have questions about Microwindow...

Is Microwindow... supporting applications ?? ex ) calculator..etc...
what product is Microwindow... applied?? ex ) product name , model name??
Can  Microwindow...support KOREAN  language??
And tell me foot-print of Microwindow...? ex)ram size??

thank you for listening my questions..

I wait your kind and fast answering 

: Is Microwindow... supporting applications ?? ex ) calculator..etc...
: what product is Microwindow... applied?? ex ) product name , model name??

There's an open source suite of applications written
around the Microwindows nano-X protocol: PIXIL.
This consists of a screentop window manager, 
web browser, PIM suite, mp3 player, mpeg player,
calculator, flash player and a number of other
system utilities.  See www.pixil.org



: Can  Microwindow...support KOREAN  language??

Yes, we support a number of encodings, and any
truetype or BDF font.

Regards,

Greg

I have LB 2410  SBC  based on Samsung S3C2410 from little chips.
   
  We followed the instructions.... and installed the TOP SUN LCD Module as also Microwindows binary as per instructions.
   
  BUT, 
   
  While the kernel is executed  it gives an error:
   
  sh: can't access tty: job control turned off. 
stty: No such file 


Then I get a busybox prompt. 


#   nano-X & 
  # nanowm &
   
  #
   
   
  We select from /usr/bin  some demo  programs using LCD Module.
   
  After ten retries, the error message appears:
   
  Graphics: client socket closed.
   
  How to get this working.?
   
  Thanks

: #   nano-X &

Try running the server and clients as done in the src/*.sh scripts,
this will prevent problems with the shell stopping nano-X from
running due to output on /dev/console.

Greg
