But I thought fb driver is there to avoid the bulkiness of X server. right? I do not want to use the X server in this case and what the complete 2D accelaration support. I am available with a flash memory of 70 MB and RAM of 40 MB with "complete applications+ games + office tools + Mplayer + remote comuting tools". Please Suggest me, What can I go with? What do I choose from below: X server TinyX Opie (Truncate to requirments) GPE (Truncate to requirments) Or is there any better thing to go with?
