I asked this once a long time ago, and basically got a "yes, it's possible" answer. Now that I've got more experience under my belt, I'd like to tackle this. I'm running a slightly modified Poky Dylan build of gumstix-xfce-image on an Overo AirStorm on a Chestnut43. I've added PyGTK, and want to use the serial console to develop Python programs that use the entire display. This means that I really just need the display and window manager, not the desktop. Currently, when I run a PyGTK program, it pops up on top of the login screen, which I don't intend to use. I don't really understand the whole display "stack". I keep reading about XFCE, GTK, Gnome, X, framebuffer, but I don't know where these things are, or what things are separable, or where I can hook in. Would this be better approached by taking stuff out of gumstix-xfce-image (or even just making certain things not start up--I'm not short on space), or adding stuff to gumstix-console-image? In short, what's the easiest way I can skip the whole desktop-with-a-login-prompt, and just have a blank screen that my PyGTK program can display on? -- Ciao, Paul D.
