Now that I have QT/E ported to iLiad, and still got stuck by the same old problem: screen refreshment, I am thinking if xepdmgr can control screen refreshment without X.
The code in xepdmgr is too complicated for me to understand. By conjecture, I guess xepdmgr use some xlib function to detect refreshment request. Without X, can we still have a automatic screen refreshment control program?
If the answer is no, then we have to insert dmDisplay() call in every QT/E application to control screen-refreshment.

Maybe modifying QT/E lib by inserting dmDisplay() call is a possible solution. Is the idea similiar to that old modded X11 libs?
