Subject: [sapug] python on the framebuffer
Message-ID: <4761D537.2060004@adelaide.edu.au>

hi guys,

a project i'm working on at home requires a little graphics,
and ideally i'm avoiding X and running apps on the frame buffer.

so, has anyone experienced python graphics to frame buffer?
i'd like to save abou 200mb of ram and not use X if i can,
and a window manager, etc, etc...

is it a sane thing to do?

cheers,

kim
