+    \section1 Windowing on Embedded Linux with Hardware Accelerated Graphics
+
+    Qt for Embedded Linux includes its own windowing system, QWS. QWS was
+    designed in 1999, well before graphics acceleration was available for
+    embedded devices. It does a great job providing a lightweight window
+    manager including all the expected functionality such as arbitrary
+    windows that can be moved, resized, minimized, etc. Getting QWS to work
+    with GPUs is very challenging, particularly with OpenGL and OpenVG
+    because there is no standard way in Linux to share textures across
+    processes. Some silicon vendors provide private APIs to allow texture
+    sharing, others do not. These limitations are documented under the
+    sections describing each type of accelerated hardware APIs. The simplest
+    most generic support for accelerated graphics is a full screen single
+    process single window.
+
+    \section2 General options
+    \list
+        \o QWS, not accelerated, allows arbitrary windowing with multiple
+        processes drawing on the screen.
+        \o X11 with an accelerated X11 driver provided by the silicon
+        vendor. Like QWS, this allows arbitrary windows with multiple
+        processes drawing on the screen. Our experience is that there is
+        some overhead from X11 which will adversely affect framerates.
+        Additionally, our experience is that the drivers from silicon
+        vendors are still maturing.
+        \o Full screen single process single window. This will always work.
+        Some additional capabilities are available and are documented in
+        the acceleration specific API sections.
+    \endlist

+    \section1 Supported Hardware Accelerated Graphics APIs

+    This table shows which Hardware Accelerated Graphics APIs currently
+    supported by Qt.
