Draw a pixel without X11 on OpenBSD

[kpedersen]

Hi all,

For a games jam at work I wrote a simple software 3D renderer that has no dependencies on a 3D accelerated GPU and is pretty fast. So far I have it ported to SDL (X11), SVGAlib (Linux) and vgl(3) (FreeBSD).

I was wondering if OpenBSD has an equivalent so that I can draw without Xenocara. I can't find much documentation on it and the closest I can find is wsdisplay(4). I am not sure this supports i386 because the wsfb(4) is based on it and suggests that OpenBSD/i386 is not supported.

I am assuming it is not a suggested thing to do but it would be cool to give it a shot!

Perhaps ask on the OpenBSD mailing list, so more developers will see it. And please let us know what they say.

OK sure. Will relay any suggestions here

The following resources were very useful:

With this (mainly the vsync example) I have made some progress on my MiniGL implementation which has been quite good fun in an MS-DOS kind of way

I do not know if it is what you are looking for but allegro is a nice library.
