nanogui: Thread: Problem with nano-X

Hello,

I installed microwindows 0.88 on my linux (2.4.3) based
embedded device and I am facing some problem with nano-X.

1) When I run the nano-X in the background on the device, it
   simply stops. I tried with '-p' option also.
   But when I checked the demo applications coming along with
   the package, they work. How to run Nano-X alone in the background?

2) I need to run some java swing GUI application on the
   embedded device, is it possible to run it with Nano-X?


Regards,
Manoj.

I'm not sure why this is, it has something to do with stopped tty output.
Just put the nano-X command in a shell script alone:
nano-X -e & sleep 100000

Yes, but you must port the Java interepreter to nano-X.  Currently,
Kaffe runs.

Hi,

I tried downloading some stuff from Microwindows. I compiled it, but when i
try to run it on my board (nano-X & sleep 1; demo) , nano-X says Stopped
(tty output) ; the screen goes blank and no other demo program shows up. I
tried with and without mouse support. Is it some problem with my framebuffer
?

I am using Intel SA 1110 ADS Bitsy Board.

Any suggestions ?

run using one of the src/*.sh scripts, or redirect
all stdout and stderr to /dev/null.

Hi,

I had a similar problem using the scancode keyboard driver.  This driver won't work in the background.  I had to run nano-X as the foreground application:

(sleep 3 && demo) & nano-X

(I use bash; other shells may need a different syntax).

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

hi!,
i am trying to port linux-2.4.18 on my Software development board,i have 
come up with text shell with frame buffer enabled as it is showing penguin 
at display.
I want to bring up some gui on it,for this i have tried microwindows and 
qt/Embedded,but unfortunately got nothing.
my all applications just run,but no gui comes up?can somebody tell me why 
it is happening ?what could be the problem?
e.g.when i try it looks like this on screen----
#nano-X & sleep 1
[1] 20
#nxclock &
[2] 30
# nxcal $
[3] 38
#nxscribble &
but i dont see any gui ,please help me,to get gui on it.
I have built all the libraries and binaries and also i am copying these 
into my ramdisk.
Thanks in advance,

make sure /dev/fb0 exists.

: e.g.when i try it looks like this on screen----
: #nano-X & sleep 1

Is there an error message? 

hi!,
i am still not able to get any gui,
i have tried filling some color on the frame buffer in an application 
(writing on /dev/fb0) in c and c++ both,it successfully writes and fills 
the color,as i can see the color on screen,but no nano-x or qt/embedded 
application give any gui?
They all are running without giving any error,but no message no error.
please give me some clue to resolve this issue?what should i do to get it ?
thanks in advance,
nishant

Since neither nano-X nor QT works, I believe you
have a framebuffer problem.  It might be that the format
is not what is reported, you should check that the color
format you write when you draw it is properly displayed.
Are you running a custom framebuffer driver?
