As I understand it, the Toolkit (GTK/QT) simply send their rendering 
information to X11 under normal systems, but will send it directly to the 
Framebuffer on embedded systems (providing your using GtkFB or QT/Embedded, 
obviously).  So, you should be able to get away with simply enabling 
framebuffer support in your kernel.

Grant.
