I am sucessfully running FLTK directly on the
NanoX-Kernel with RTEMS on a pc386 BSP.

FLTK consists of a GUI-Designer and C++ classes supporting
the GUI-Elements.The NanoX-Port based on Rosimildo´s work.
Had to rework Fontsupprot, the Keyboarddriver and added a
Touchpaneldriver. The default X-Fonts are bitmapped at
various pointsize and linked directly into the NanoX kernel.
