hi,

this is probably a FAQ, but I was wondering if at this stage it is possible to get an accelerated OpenGL app running in Linux, without having X?

Basically, I have implemented a dedicated display system for Xen (quite similar in spirit to Quartz on OSX), so I do not need X, and since I am aiming for a minimal footprint, I would like to get X out of the way. This would also make input handling a little easier for me, if I could just select() on the relevant Linux device nodes.

Currently, I am running with the ATI fglrx driver as last time I tried I was unable to get r300 working in Linux under Xen (fglrx also needed some hacking of the open part of the driver, but I have that sorted now).

Does anyone have recent experiences doing this? I suppose Xgl developers must have similar desires.

Best regards,
Jacob
