Mattew,
Thanks for the immediate response.
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?
 Regards,
Mukund Jampala
