Xfast (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! XFast is a lightweight desktop environment that incorporates X and a window manager within the same project and therefore doesn't needs a separate X-server and WM. It is portable and works on many devices (embedded devices, handhelds, set-top boxes,...). Here the communication between server layer and desktop layer can be made in classical way via TCP/IP but depending on the configuration and target system it can be done via shared memory too. The goal of project XFast is to have a very slim and fast graphical environment that contains both within the same project: a replacement for the X-server to give access to the graphics hardware and a WindowManager-like layer that offers user interface elements for applications and desktop management.
