</div>Thanks. That's interesting.<br>
<br>
It doesn't seem as if it is going to run traditional X applications.<br>
But I could be wrong. I think that it depends on what's underneath<br>
it. QT is mandatory.<br>
<br>
It is built on Mer which is what got created by refugees of Meego. I<br>
think that they share stuff with Jolla and (they hope) Tizen.<br>
<br>
I have a device with an ancestor of this code: a Nokia n800 tablet.<br>
It didn't run X.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I have an N800 and an N900. I'm pretty sure both run X. In the past, just for fun, I SSH'ed into my laptop with X forwarding on and ran GIMP, it loaded up on the screen with no issues (though, messy because those devices only do full screen windows and GIMP opens multiple windows). </div>
<div><br></div><div><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mir_(software)">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mir_(software)</a> says there's also work on an X compatibility layer, so hopefully this means all X applications will continue to work as before.<br>
