 |
|
For a project, I need to know.
Is it possible to somehow use graphics, especially OpenGL, without installing an X server?

Might be possible using the framebuffer... it's even possible to use mplayer without X (option -vo svga), so I guess it is/will be possible...

well, I meant xdirectfb in the group X server.
The thing is that it's for an application that's supposed to be able to render OpenGL stuff as fast as possible, without the help of an underlying graphics system like Xfree or XDirectFB
Framebuffer sounds better, but how fast is it?
