Concept

Not semitransparent panels on X11, not without Composite extension, which I'm 99% sure Pandora's kdrive server will not have.

That's a pity. I'm no linux expert, thus my cluelessness :huh:

I wouldn't sacrifice the space of the screen. I'd rather toggle the 4 sided menubars on/off (overlapping the application) by tapping a key+dpad direction.

I thought the PowerVR driver was hooked into xorg rather than kdrive, or did I get the wrong idea there?

Uhm..I don't know, but Craig or some other developer has always said that the Pandora will have a kdrive server.

I believe this was to reduce bloat... not sure though kdrive is part of Xorg now and the newer version should support composite i think...

the reason there was to be a lack of composite was the use of an older monolithic kdrive server which would be even smaller/lighter

Edit:

from how that reads we can use kdrive from the modern xorg release... the point is that it is a pre configured xserver and is lighter faster and doesn't need much configureation

In Maemo composite works. In this thread are some nice screenshots:

Cool, so composite in Pandora should be easy. Can't wait to get my Pandora and start testing my gui on real hardware

As of X.Org Server version 7.1, the KDrive framework was integrated into the reference implementation and is now part of the generic source code release of the server.

Perhaps thats where you got confused?
