+--- Thread: could xbmc get rid of X Window? (/showthread.php?tid=65946)
could xbmc get rid of X Window? - southhh - 2010-01-03
by now many arm base chips have high performence of codec and graphic. X Window is really not a good choice of a embeded chipset. if we can get rid of the x window in the xbmc,then it will make it more powerful.
is any one try some ways to rebuild it ?
can we use the DirectFB as the backend of the SDL and also use the opengl-es to rebuild it?

Patches welcome. XBMC already runs to some extent on OMAP3 based platforms under embedded linux (with X11) using gles.
but x11 is still needed in the arm branch on the OMAP3 - southhh - 2010-01-04

You probably want to start by looking at the xbmc/WinSystemX11* files in our source tree. I'm no expert in this area either, but that's where I'd start if I wanted to do it.
