I never used OpenGL. Can it render to a off-screen buffer (ie. System
RAM not Video RAM)? My gut feeling is "no". The FB GUI is designed to
use a double buffer where the buffer is a normal memory that is
memcpy() on frame advance.
I think that PowerVR OpenGL implementation writes directly to the
video, so no off-screen buffering.
I don't want to discourage you, but
probably most of the FB code is not suitable for OpenGL (everything
except resolution detection and event handling).
The thing is that if we cannot use OpenGL then the application will run
a bit slow and we won't be able to use all the functionality that would
be interesting, and we could use a controller that has no OpenGL accel,
which is cheaper.
I have been trying gnash on my PC with GTK/AGG and with SDL/AGG, just to
start trying, and I have found that no fullscreen mode is provided in
the GUI, compared to FB which is fullscreen by definition.
is it possible to have fullscreen gnash using GTK?
Thanks for your help, I know I'm making too many questions.
I suggest you first try to understand exactly use OpenGL with just a
framebuffer device, ie. write a little test program that displays some
sort *accelerated* graphic (a simple line would do) without a X server
or DirectFB around.
The probably best way to go would be using DirectFB. I am sure it
provides abstract access to most video cards and it comes with a nice
event handling system. The FB GUI is of necessity very low level
regarding events.

Have a look at the files under "gui/" with "glue" in their name...
