As Omer has suggested Qt is a good GUI environment for cross platform 
development. With Qt you can compile your application natively for testing on 
your Ubuntu box, and then cross compile for testing on your Cortex-A8 based 
board. See http://doc.trolltech.com/4.6/qt-embedded-linux.html

Generally you need the framebuffer driver for LCD output. The driver that you 
need depends on the specific chip that you use. Look at the kernel sources 
under drivers/video/.
