Framebuffer would be neat, but I think a better idea would be an SDL-enabled Squeak...that way we could support any graphical target, whether it be X11, framebuffer or OpenGL (not to mention the different sound output targets SDL knows about).
I once tried to get framebuffer Squeak running on my iPaq, but not being very graphics-saavy, I didn't get very far (I did get the Morphic interface to draw on the screen, but the colours were screwed up, and no pen/mouse input). I pieced together some framebuffer code from various sources to make it work...I think the bulk of it was a modified version of the Helio framebuffer code. Eventually I just gave up on it. :)

Hi,
Does anyone have an idea about how to get Squeak running on raw framebuffer?
That way we can really do away with the (sic) X Windowing System...
