I have been looking for documents about how to output pixels (graphics) on the terminal. I could not find any. Before I give up, I want to ask here, if it is possible to do that. What I want to do is to port my applications from Linux-framebuffer to FreeBSD, but I am also thinking about making a graphical installer for FreeBSD (eye-candy is always nice to attract new users). Thanks, Martin
