opengl for framebuffer

opengl for framebuffer

[tomas carnecky]

Hi ,

I'm looking for a opengl library for the framebuffer devices.
I found an project (http://fbdri.sf.net) but they released only one 
tarball,
and that was about two years ago. Anyone knows another project?

I think there is a port of the XFree86 xserver to the framebuffer,
but I don't want to use this large bunch of applications and libraries,
just to get opengl working on the framebuffer.

Long ago, I had the idea to write a collection of libraries to make 
opengl 3D
acceleration avilable without a xserver or framebuffer. It works now 
(somehow).
There exists a _really_ small documentation 
(www.dbservice.com/tom/graphics.html).

I'd like to know what you think about it.

There are 2 possibilities:

mesa standalone + dri: http://www.mesa3d.org/fbdev-dri.html

mesa gl software only: http://www.mesa3d.org/glfbdev-driver.html

I am using successfully mesa+dri on a radeonfb.
