EDIT2: I stand corrected, just watched the video in it's a brand new beast compared to what I knew as multi seat support. This one can be several inputs on a single screen. Weird.Last edited by mrugiero; 10 July 2013, 10:59 PM.

After seeing this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO2L_ihO_rI
Do toolkits like SDL have to support this? For example: It would be really cool to have a map editor for a game where two people could edit the same map together at the same computer. Is something like that already possible on wayland or not?

Tizen Handset is the domain of Samsung and Intel takes care of Tizen IVI.
There is a gradual process to unify both codebases (ie. thowing out proprietary SLP components and replace them with FOSS ones already used in IVI) but at least in Tizen 2.x the process is far from finished. For example Tizen IVI 2.x still uses Qt. OTOH oFono https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OFono is not used by Tizen Handset 2.x.

If you have a car with an infotainment system, chances are high it runs a MeeGo/Tizen IVI variant.

any time you updated your Driver's on a non KDE desktop and did not have Software Installed to handle the update X end's up dead, from what it look's like is here is you will no longer need hack's to make it work fine no more broken X on Driver update's
and what Video?

Originally posted by intellivision View PostHeh, it's cute to see that some people still think Tizen has a future ahead of it when it clearly doesn't.
It's not FOSS, it doesn't know what toolkits its supposed to use, jumping from EFL to HTML5 and now an Android compatibility layer coupled with a closed source bada compatibility layer.
I mean, it's nice that they're trying out Wayland and all but it's not going to survive more than two years with the competition from better platforms such as Firefox OS, Jolla and Ubuntu Mobile.Originally posted by BO$$ View PostEven though you are right you need to understand that you are on phoronix, which always has the basement dwellers ready to root for the underdog. The more obscure a linux distro is the more they like it. The less GUI it has even better. So of course they think tizen has a future. They hate android and iphone just because they are popular.
its so cute when people spout pure speculation as if it is fact.
And BTW, I don't hate android I love my galaxy s2 with android 4.1. Samsung's operating systems, such as bada have had success in asian markets, and I speculate tizen would at least have similar success in that market. The US market is definitely tougher to crack, but I don't see how tizen has any less chance than ubuntu phone, sailfish, or firefox os, especially with a force like samsung behind it.Last edited by bwat47; 11 July 2013, 02:47 PM.
