nanogui: Thread: Completely un-urgent and almost off-topic speculation

Has anyone tried Microwindows on the framebuffer of any other Linux arch
(Solaris, PPC, etc)

Just wondering if it worked or not? :)

Actually, as a bypoint - do we have an authorative list of platforms we
have run nanoX on, both historic and current (ie, does it still actually
run on DOS and ELKS?)

I would be happy to maintain such a monster, database and webpage it,
including features such as caveats, todo's, etc....

I can confirm that it works fine (out of the box) on Mips VR-Linux.

I had difficulty building on Dos/DJGPP a while ago, I did not follow through...

I have watched Microwindows successfully run on x86, arm, mips and powerpc. 
At this point, anything that runs a linux kernel with a framebuffer can 
successfully run Microwindows.

	can I add that it doesn't mean that you require Linux and/or a frame buffer to run Microwindows - you'll just have to put a little (really not much!!) porting effort in.
