Mesa glFBDev Driver

+ + +

1. Introduction

+ +

+The GLFBDev driver interface allows one to do OpenGL rendering into a +framebuffer managed with the Linux's fbdev interface. +

+ +

+Basically, the programmer uses the fbdev functions to initialize the +graphics hardware and setup the framebuffer. +Then, using a calls to Mesa's glFBDev API functions, one can render +into the framebuffer with the OpenGL API functions. +

+ +

+Note, only software rendering is supported; there is no hardware +acceleration. +

+ + +

+The GL/glfbdev.h header file defines the glFBDev interface. +

+ +

+The progs/fbdev/glfbdevtest.c demonstrates how to use the glFBDev interface. +

+ +

+For more information about fbdev, see the + +Framebuffer Howto +

+ + +

2. Compilation

+ +

+To compile Mesa with support for the glFBDev interface: +

+   XXX todo
+

+ +

+When compilation is finished look in progs/glfbdev/ for the glfbdevtest demo. +

4. Running glFBDev programs

+ +

+First, you need to have a working fbdev environment. +See the + +Framebuffer Howto for information. +

+ +

+Programs must be run with root permission. +
