 I guess there should be one by now. Is that the TinyX.
Can I use it directly on any platform?
I just want to make use of the best avialable X server for Embedded
platforms.
Also, If i wanne to write an new application fro the X server like a game,
that should be compact enough as well as should accupy less memory in RAM.

I found an entry in xinitrc to run the default window manger that comes wit=
h
X i.e twm. ok.
