I need to write a semi-realtime Linux-based GUI for an embedded app.
It pulls data in from two V4L infra-red cameras and displays a
synthesized with some somewhat-synchronized data from a sensor array
connected over USB-to-serial.

Last time I did this, I wrote it as a svgalib app. This time I'd like
to do it in X. Is there a simple framework I can use for this? Anyone
here with experience to recommend something?

If you've written it with svgalib, you can use this:

http://libsdl.org

Porting it to SDL from svgalib would be a piece of cake.

Great! Thanks very much. I've used a zillion pieces of software based
on SDL, but never wrote any code for it. I'll do some study this week.
