Hi Jason,
Interesting application.
I ended up using my own graphics library for my 7300 and 7390 systems as it gave me more control over how everything appeared, but a number of people are using off-the-shelf toolkits with the 7390.
Regards,
PJE

In the past, I have done a lot with OpenBSD running from a CF card and a ramdisk (see the flashboot project) but little outside of that. So while I plan to read the archives and lurk for the next while, I do want to launch my boat by mid-May so there may be some things I need help with.
