Hi, Thank you all for the quick reply and the valuable info. I think GTkFB does not provide all the functionalties required for my project, so I am planning to go with X. Could anyone tell me approximate size of Maemo/GTK/X11 package for an ARM board ? Is there any howto document available for porting X11/GTK/hildon/maemo which lists packages and the version dependencies ?
