GDK framebuffer needed for the GTK debian installer

[attilio <fiandro tiscalinet it>]

Hi everyone

i'm involved in debian development and i'm actually working on the gtk 
frontend for the debian-installer (the plans for post-sarge relase are 
to implement a graphic installation system based on gtk).
Actually the gtk frontend module seems to work on a "X bench-test" (go 
to http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2005/05/msg00242.html to see the 
last news).
Experimenting with the gtk i've come to the conclusion that
-X gdk is solid rock but, for many reasons, is too big to fit on a 
instalation cd
-the directframebuffer gdk layer, though longly unmanteined, compiles 
and works but is still too buggy (gives serious memory corruption problems).
-the framebuffer gdk doesn't even compile
I'm posting to this mailing list to ask you if some future development 
of the fb/dfb gdk are planned, since this would be the most appropriate 
gdk layer for a gtk-based debian-installer.

thanks

Attilio
