DPMS and UTF-8 keyboard layouts in TinyX

(1/1)

neonix:
Can you hire someone to add DPMS and more keyboard layout languages to Xvesa/Xfbdev?

curaga:
Not having the full xkb support is one of the things that's keeping tinyx tiny - if you need Chinese etc, you should be using Xorg anyway. DPMS I thought was already there.

As for hiring anyone, we have no organizational entity and no funds.

gadget42:
roughly guestimating, what would the size difference be if there was an easy version for the far east?

is there and/or should there be "Computer_English"? since there is officially:

20241231-0229am-cst-usa-modified: added Aviation English link

gadget42:
along similar lines/thoughts(far east)...

was poking around clonezilla and saw:
https://clonezilla.org/related-live-cd/

then ended up at:
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/partclone/

and saw it was required by:
https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/deepin-clone/

naturally these all came soon after:

Founds can be collected by crowdfunding campaign.
DPMS that turn off d-sub monitor doesn't works both in Xvesa and Xfbdev
There could be different languages executibles.
Xorg still have many issues if you don't have supporterd hardware.
Xorg can be rewriten to behave like Xvesa

I was testing HaikuOS and they have perfect Xserver compatible with X11 standard and vesa. But other HaikuOS soft is more buggy than M$. Linux is bug free enviroment, with stable kernel, in my opinion.

The biggest problem for Linux on desktops is graphic environment. TinyX solved many problems, but development stopted around year 2000.

Linux won't be young forever, but there is big opportunity right know. Africa, Asia, Latin Amercia are going throught computer revolution period. Hardware manufacturers never give 100% support for Linux, but TCL fill the gap. Used computers are cheaper than Android devices, and old versions of Android are not supported anymore. Linux give new life for old hardware almost all the time.

W11 will have humongous hardware requirments, but my thin client I bought 10 years ago, still works on TCL, but Xorg and TinyX have issues that W11 don't have.
