nanogui: Thread: Nano-X on Cirrus ARM/frame buffer ?

Hi,
Cirrus makes EP9307, an ARM9 SOC, which includes support for Linux
Frame Buffer.   /dev/fb0 exists and there is Tux logo at bootup.

Compiled nano-X for Frame Buffer (16bpp, 5/6/5 packed per FBSET & fb.modes) 
but get totally black screen (even Tux disappears) any suggestions what is wrong? 

thanks very much

Run bin/mdemo for initial testing, this doesn't require a seperate
nano-X server (which will blank the screen on startup) and application
program (which if it doesn't connect will leave screen black as above)

Dear Greg,
thank you for quick response.

I enabled the MICROWINDOWS settings in config but mdemo or any of the m* files
didnt show up. 

Then went back to the config successfully used for the X11 (Fedora development server),
enabled microwindows and saw the m* files.  Mdemo is very nice

my ARM config was based on the .ipaq template. Therefore since X11 config is working,
customized that instead and now have nano-x / nanowm / nxclock / world / tuxchess (impressive) / etc
running on the Cirrus!    mdemo did not work on cirrus though, complains of 'Cannot initalize mouse' 
but mouse is fully operational

I'm going to start a new thread (to keep archive clear) about trying PIXIL and ViewML 

Thanks again!
