Could you list out some of the lightweight Xorg alternatives for the ARMv6?Xorg consumes a lot of resources.

We are waiting for a version of Xorg that utilises the GPU effectively.– JivingsJul 26, 2012 at 20:17

Someone at the Arch forum did a summary a few years ago. I don't want to copy his experiences here, you can read that in this topic, but because links rot here is a list of systems he covered (for you to google about their current state)
Actively developed
- Wayland Display Server (might not be suitable for the Pi)
Older
- MicroXWin (archived
- DirectFB (archived) (Github)
- Y Window System
- Xynth Window System
- Fresco (Website not available)
- Metisse
- KDrive (or TinyX)
-
It might be useful to link to the project homepages (if they have one). Those links would be useful, hopefully for some time.– JivingsJul 26, 2012 at 10:24

MicroXWin has an explicit qemu arm build. DirectFB as a cross compiling tutorial on their wiki. I think wayland requires a more modern videocard.– JoostJul 26, 2012 at 19:58
