From: Jehangir K. Parvereshi <jp>
I am currently working on a bus-oriented Graphics Communication Device
(GCD), which is fully customized to provide high-resolution graphics
capability as a visual aid for the deaf community.
My user-interface is such that I need a X window manager, but I am not
sure if my architecture is oriented to support it. The GCD is based
on a 68000 microprocessor, which is the only system controller on the
bus. It has 64K bytes of display memory, which can store up to 2 pages
of 640 X 400 X 1 pixel data. There is no disk sub-system supported by
the GCD, but instead a battery backed-up read/write memory of 128K
bytes is provided. The design is highly modular, and there is a
provision for expansion of system resources as required by the
application.
Has anyone out there come across such application or has any idea
whether a X window manager will run on my system, please let me
know. I will really appreciate this help from anybody.
Thanks,
Jehangir Parvereshi
