If Qt pulls it off and adds a third desktop to the mix in the Linux fight. We may have another road added to the Os2/eCS path, what do you think Huh

About Razor-qt
Razor-qt is an advanced, easy-to-use, and fast desktop environment based on Qt technologies. It has been tailored for users who value simplicity, speed, and an intuitive interface. Unlike most desktop environments, Razor-qt also works fine with weak machines.

While still a new project, Razor-qt already contains the key DE components:

    Panel
    Desktop
    Application launcher
    Settings center
    Sessions

One major advantage I can to having a desktop environment made entirely from Qt is that you could run it directly on your frame buffer from your video card. This means no more Xorg or X windows.

I tested this theory with some Qt development of my own. I was able to compile a full fledge Qt application and run it without Xorg or X Windows. I was able to use my mouse like normal use the standard gpm mouse system. The application ran really smooth considering the system was a 500mhz AMD Geode with only 512 mb of ram and 32mb of video.

Hihi,

I have try it a few weeks back but run into trouble:

-- Found Qt4: o:/qt/trunk-build-release/bin/qmake.exe (found suitable version "4
.7.3", required is "4.6.0")
-- UDev not found.
-- UDev: You can specify includes: -DUDEV_PATH_INCLUDES=/opt/udev/include
--       currently found includes: UDEV_INCLUDE_DIR-NOTFOUND
-- UDev: You can specify libs: -DUDEV_PATH_LIB=/opt/udev/lib
--       currently found libs: UDEV_LIBRARIES-NOTFOUND
CMake Error at cmake/FindUDev.cmake:51 (MESSAGE):
 Could not find UDev library
Call Stack (most recent call first):
 CMakeLists.txt:43 (find_package)


-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

I've wrote one of the authors, and ask if it where possible to port to os2.
This is what he wrote:

Hi Tellie,

I'm afraid razor is Linux/UNIX only - requirements of Udev, X11, Udisks etc...

I think OS2 has its own GUI environment like Windows...

So i stop, and deleted all...
