Hello everyone. Like many other people new to FreeBSD, I come from many years of experience with Linux. In Linux we can build the kernel to provide a frame buffer device(s) /dev/fb0 fb1, fb2... This is basically a file descriptor that actually refers to the memory on the video card. Using ioctl system calls to this descriptor gets and sets resolution and color depth, etc. I've written a fairly comprehensive API in C called ezfb. http://www.akrobiz.com/ezfb/ Is there anything like this in FreeBSD? Is there any way to port this code to FreeBSD? Thanks!
