Re: Should project use GGI?

Thanks and welcome !

Yeah - should be stable enough. LibGGI is quite mature. If you develop
using X (and your X is stable of course), you should be pretty much safe
from shooting yourself in the foot (which is a common problem when using
SVGAlib). You can run fullscreen later, when you are confident the program
doesn't crash badly at an unsuitable place.

If you like the API I see nothing that would speak against using it. 
On what "target" (as we call the thing we really display on, like X,
SVGAlib, fbcon, KGI, Glide) would you like to develop/run otherwise ? 

CU, Andy
