QT w/o X

FYI.

Troll Tech is designing a version of QT that is source compatible and uses
the frame buffer device (no X11 required).

Hrmm… does this mean they will provide their own windowing support?
Will this possibly be useful if ported to SDL?–

This support is designed ONLY for EMBEDDED oses so no SDL support will
be here.
Yes TT will provide windowing support for framebuffer.–

The fact that it’s embedded makes no difference, the license it’s released
under very much does though.

I guess it depends on how they release it. If there is a free version of
Embedded/Qt like there is for the regular one, it would still be useful.

If it provides windowing and the QT toolkit, it would be incredibly useful
to port to output over SDL, though.

On another note, SDL in an embedded environment could be very useful.
Handheld game devices, the gameboy and other embedded devices would be
excellent targets for SDL.–

SDL on a gameboy! LOL:)
SDL is not really suited to embedded enviroments at all. Once you remove
all the bloat to get SDL down to size and remove all the irrelevent
functions you basically would end up with a kludged graphics library and a
kludged event handler, nothing more. This also applies to ports to
consoles etc. While it may be fun, its not really useful.

Long live the confused,

humm…humm…(clearing throat)…the support is for embedded linux
system,from the announce:

(March 20. 2000) - Troll Tech (www.trolltech.com) today announced that
it is developing a GUI application framework directly
targeted at embedded Linux systems.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

while my system is quite far from embedded,i could have a use for it
having only 32 MB of ram,this would offer me the possibility of cuting
out the middle man (X that is) and enjoy my desktop a bit more.

When the Krash version of KDE (1.80)  was out I've noticed a new

function on klibs : KXembed which falls back to QXembed that was only in
the QT2.1 ( not in 2.0 ).

So I started to write a minidemo ala gtk-demo using this, but then I

asked some things to a friend of mine Antonio Larrosa ( the Spanish
representative of kde and programer of kpager, kmidi, kdos, and so on ).
And he say to me that wasnt the best way to do this ( well, it was the
best way but only in part ).

The suposed ideal way to use SDL+QT+[KDE] need kde2 ( or 1.90 ) and QT

2.1 and is implementing in SDL a mini protocol using some atoms
described in the headers of KDElib for support son kinds of events as
resize, close, open, and so on.

So I started to write this but then the kde 2 version were announced in

the internal list and the packagers ask to the translator for have all
the documentation finished before the 20? of the next month. :(. So I’ll
be more than occupied till that day…
