On the topic of vgl(3) specifically, in October 2014 I wrote on this list: > vgl(3) is a graphics library for syscons(4) that provides some basic > graphics operations (e.g. some mode setting, bitmaps, boxes, > ellipses). Right now it does not support the newer vt(4) console. > > In order to help determine the priority of a porting effort to add > vt(4) support I'd like to better understand where vgl is being used > now.

That received exactly one private reply, where it was pointed out that dosbox is an example consumer. Nobody replied to say they actually use vgl(3). I will post a followup to -stable to ask the same question, but please, let me know if you use vgl(3) in open source or proprietary software.
