No - as far as I know - the YDL 6.0 kernel does not come with FBUI.

Personally - I like X Windows - I grew up with it and used to get a lot of money software testing it. But - hey - if FBUI floats your boat - more power to you!

I will warn you - it might be tricky to compile. I'm not sure what platform you have - but if you're using a PS3, there may be issues with the framebuffer display since - to the best of my knowledge - it isn't strictly VESA compliant. You will have to compile this from source - an x86 kernel won't run on the PowerPC processor that YDL uses.

Please keep us posted as to how this works for you.

Cheers,

i have ps3 that is my only ppc arcitechure. I will need to get passed installing someone elses kernel before I try compileing my own. Thanks for you responce. I have mucho to learn. I installed helios before and tryied someones elses kernel to get wifi working. did not get it to work.

That was an interesting read with my coffee this morning ... Looks a bit early in development, with "overlapping windows" being listed as a new feature. I'm still happily running Gnome, but have noticed a little speed difference between YDL running on my PS3 with the upgraded 7200 RPM drive vs the stock 80 GB model.
