hello,

are there any non-x11 depending 'gui' systems available
for freebsd? something like qt/embedded which works off
the linux graphics framebuffer?

if not, is there any specific documentation available
for using the graphics framebuffer used for showing the
boot splash screens?
also, may i know what that graphics framebuffer is
called in the freebsd world?

thanks,

~mayuresh
