Hello,
=20
I'd like to do some research on framebuffer GUIs (without Xorg) in
FreeBSD. My background is C/C++ programming, Win32 and a bit of xlib. I've
read the developer handbook but it didn't seem to have enough information=
=20
for me. Can you please point me to more information about framebuffer
development for FreeBSD (if any exists), or about how I can start doing a
video driver for example? I have no idea if this should be done in kernel o=
r=20
userland, and if in userland, what must I do to have access to video
hardware.
=20
Thank you very much for the attention.
Cesar
