Hello list, As I've mentioned in a previous message, I've been working on trying to get a proper graphics subsystem/desktop up and running under 12-CURRENT without any X components; something that was once possible a long time ago by using libvgl probably via SDL1.2 — an option that's been deprecated in SDL2 and isn't viable in all cases since libvgl doesn't support newcons/vt.
I understand the limitations of the basic VGA driver (lack of hardware acceleration, current hard-coded 640x480x16 resolution) but I'm not clear on why the vt_vga driver does not make a framebuffer device available (vtvga0 is initialized, but there is no corresponding /dev/vtvga0). Isn't it possible to use vt_vga in pixel mode and directly write to the kernel console framebuffer? Any insight would be appreciated!
