Check out http://www.microwindows.org  It is a small graphics engine with a
Win32 API and a X-like API.  The current verison supports Embedded Planet's
LinuxPlanet box (0.88pre7, I think)

btw, I am finishing up a touch screen driver for LinuxPlanet that works with
Microwindows.  Check the Montavista ftp site in the next week or so.  I will
make another anouncement when it is there.

If you bought a LinuxPlanet, you should have the source on the CD from
Embedded Planet.

I don't think so (execpt microwindows). I am not totally familiar with the
linux fb device, but I believe the lcd driver needs a little more work to
look like a linux fb device. Or you will need to hack the server to use our
lcd driver.
