I've thought about whether the DMD5620 or the Blit would be a usable
display under X (I'd like to believe that it is since I've got a
couple of them). It seems that the relatively low bandwidth of the
serial connection between the DMD and the host is a fundamental
limitation.  For most programs that are designed for the DMD, a lot of
work goes into minimizing the amount of communication between the
terminal and the host because it is so  s l o w.  On the other hand,
most of those applications tend to be designed to run in `layers',
which places an extra penalty on this communication due to the
multiplexing.  I wonder if there are other displays with servers that
deal successfully with such a limitation?
