Unless it uses some specific X11 stuff directly that is. For what it's worth, I also have direct vgl support in my pet project here: https://github.com/sobomax/digger ) -Max On Tue, Jun 21, 2016 at 6:29 AM, Ed Maste wrote: > 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).
