Hi Nitin

The NPAPI stuff isn't coupled with X11 on embedded linux, it doesn't
exist :-) 

Currently you have to patch QtWebKit yourself to do this. We are looking
into what the possibilities in this area are. Are you writing directly
to /dev/fb? 

Is this your own plugin or are you using some 3rdparty plugin (like
Adobe Flash)?
