Does that mean that GTKfb and GTK 1.3.x are not scheduled to become stable ?
Shall we wait for GTK 2.0 ? (do you know when it should be available ?)

I guess it is touch screen support.
(kind of mandatory requirement for embedded devices of this category !)

Two more questions :
- do you know whether we can port GTKfb on top of VGA16 frame buffer ?
(or has someone succedded in running it on top of a i815 based PC - note: I
know this may looks quite strange but this is just for experimentation - not
for development or any other stuff).
