    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: +

+
    + +

    +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. +
