Is it running directly in the framebuffer console? This is the part where I am lacking most knowledge so ......
Yes according to http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewto...&start=200
The raspberry pi system only got 128MB memory (another 128MB allocated to GPU) so not running X11 is a big plus.
You can ask Stephan Raue from openelec team if need more info on the way its implemented on raspberry pi.
I will have a look at the OpenElec build system a bit later. I want to finish the DRM stuff first just for learning, but we might not need it for OE then.
There are some other issue with the framebuffer at the moment, but we wil see.
