[SDL] How to run OpenGl on linux framebuffer

[Nuno Santos]

Yes,

I have read something about it.

I have a nvidia, so i supposed it doesnt work for them.

My idea is to run SDL without the X.

Somebody has told me about a thin X layer that can be use to emulate X 
but it doesnt go into the windows at all.

Does any body knows something about this?

Cheers,

Nuno
