KMS Frame Buffer How To

[dman777]

If I want to use terminal 2D graphics in my C programs using KMS, where can I find tutorials or find out how to incorporate it in my C programs?

KMS as in Kernel Mode Switching? That would be in the graphics drivers for
the graphics hardware. For userspace, you would want some interface
independent of whether the kernel is using KMS or not to run programs
in graphic mode.

There was a thread in one of the forums here in the last few months
on showing videos with mplayer without X running. Perhaps search for
that, then look at the mplayer source code to see how mplayer does
whatever was suggested in that thread (which was marked SOLVED IIRC).

Take a look at directfb or SDL with the directfb backend.
