Sounds sensible, however I believe Gene needs graphics as well for the CNC software's GUI; at least from what I've gathered over the years of him trying to get realtime kernels working on the Pi as well as propriety graphics. Personally, I've always though such a design architecture is totally bonkers, why isn't GUI and machine control completely separate things. But that's not Gene's fault, it's the software designers. -- Tixy
