Re: [Gumstix-users] Question for Holly Gates (LCD again)

[Jason R. M. <nsx...@ve...>]

One interesting application/library for this would be svgalib 
(http://www.svgalib.org) along with something like zgv 
(http://www.svgalib.org/rus/zgv/).  I've messed around with this on an 
old laptop and it makes a great non-X slideshow viewer.  If anyone gets 
this working on gumstix I will definitely be interested :-)
