Hi ! I'm interested in also setting up Z and alpha buffers. How would I go about doing that ? Basically same thing ... add a function to allocate them to the kernel driver and them mmap. We should talk about a generic API for requesting such extra features, though. No mmap.

Hi ! hardware auxiliary buffer, you will either need to have a kernel driver which can let userspace mmap() the physical aperture, or do some suid-root Neither. The SGI approach of not mmaping these buffers. This only works for the nice SGI hardware. I perfectly agree, that it has huge

I have been looking at Mesa-GGI and libGGI. Do you think it would be possible to add a triangle function? Yes, but the triangle function is added in an extension library because the base LibGGI drawing functions are all basic 2D "essential" primitives only. Correct.
