Hi , my name is Busso Andrea and i wrote this email to this mailing list because i m really interested about writing programs for Hurd. I searched in the Hurd documentation and i tried googling online but i didn t find something about what i want to know of Hurd. I know that in linux i can access the video card memory using the framebuffer (/dev/fbdev) or using DRM, but i can t understand how can i access the graphic card using hurd. I want to write a program having the entire screen in my control , every pixel, so what can i use to do this on Hurd ? Had i to access a translator using a file system node that manage the video cards ? Or maybe there isn't any video card manager translator and i have to access directly to the graphic card memory using a generic device access translator ? I will be very glad to any reply i will receive and i apologize if this isn't the right place to ask. Regards, Busso Andrea, a Hurd appreciator
