[Gumstix-users] GUI/Qtopia/DirectFB installation via ipkg

[Torchris <chr...@ro...>]

Hello all,

I have been out of the loop for the last few months busy with other
projects, so I have not been following the various GUI/Qtopia threads
carefully. So, a couple of questions...

1. Is it possible to install a working copy of Qtopia (for the 18 bpp
display) via ipkg onto the MMC card? I have tried the packages available via
http://www.gumstix.net/feeds/current/uclibc/ with no luck. Would a glibc
image work better?

2. Failing an easy way to get Qtopia running, has there been much success
with DirectFB and is there a good "Idiot's Guide" to programming on DirectFB
for Gumstix?

My project doesn't really need a full blown GUI, but I want the ability to
do things like write text in various fonts and create rectangles and shapes
for touch screen buttons.

thanks,

torchris
