1We try hard to get Opie compiled with Qt2/X11
2
3While directly drawing into the framebuffer is fast
4and takes less memory compared to Qt2/X11
5sometimes you may want to use X11 cause you need
6some feature of the X protocol or you think it's just
7cute.

9We try hard to not break Opies normal compilation and to avoid
10#ifdefs at all cost
11
12Things that are different on X11 with Qt2/X11
13- No fonthandling
14- No Windowdecoration
15- No IPC
16- No keyhandling
17- No powerhandling
18
19are built in
20
21We will ignore fontloading for now cause it belongs to X11.
22The same applies to keyhandling
23X11 is taking care of APM if not it's the kernel...
24
25Ok so we need to replace IPC and do empty stubs for the other things
26
27IPC: Our X11 IPC system is called OCOP and we've an almost sc QCopChannel
28implementation. QCopEnvelope should work out of the box.
29We do some symlinks to built opie out of the box.

31How to build Opie/x11 currently it's quite hard to but I'll make it more easy
32soon
