+More versions of MicroWindow/Nano-X graphic libraries have been adapted for RTEMS and are actively used. Additional resources for whole set of graphics libraries and support including actual versions of MicroWindows are documented at [wiki:Projects/GraphicsToolkit RTEMS Graphics Toolkit] page.

 Then regular make clean and make all can be used to build libraries.
 
-Unfortunately, MicroWindows/Nano-X CVS has not been updated for long time and we have not luck
-with attempt to integrate our changes and fixes back to mainline yet. The patches used

+The latest MicroWindows/Nano-X GIT version does not support well monochromatic displays with BPP smaller
+than 8. When support of BPP 1, 2, 4 is required it is safer to stay with older MicroWindows release.
+This is the case of [wiki:TBR/UserApp/AMV_Technic_I AMV TECHNIC I] system. Patches used to configure and build suitable
+MicroWindows version for that project together with corrections of native build under X for 64-bit Linux
+systems and cleaning some 16-bit integer incompatibilities for H8S targets can be found in next archive
