Paras,

It's a nice idea to add graphics routines to any given kernel.  However, this would require creating an extreemly large, standardized API so that existing programs could be rewritten to run on this type of kernel.  I think that an additional disadvantage to having such high-level processes interact with the system at such a low level would contradict the current industry best practices.

As far as a POSIX standard, we are currently (Ishwar & I) working on creating a "hello world" type kernel from the linux 0.01 kernel source as a prototype model/learning experience aimed towards actual kernel design and coding.  No specific design goals or guidlines have been set at this time.

Ishwar, please feel free to clarify any of this.

hi all,

i joined this list with some time back. but it seems
list is not that active. may be i m wrong.

i just want to whether there is any posix standard for
writing kernel.

also right now linux suffer from user friendlyness.
all gui applications run on X server which i have
noted is quite heavy. also x server is not part of
kernel. its written as an application. so it wud be
nice idea if we can put all this grafix stuff in
kernel itself.

lets make this list active.
