: How about Linux Frame Buffer ( FB ) ?
: Is there any advantage of it over SVGA ?
Heck yes! That's what Microwindows and Nano-X are all about!
The fb drivers allow simple cool code to be written that can draw
directly on the display surface. This display surface is still linear
even in the smaller Linux PDAs. SVGAlib is a library that handles
all the horrors (non-linear aspects) of the VGA cards, and programs
that use it can't touch the screen directly.
