Hi Rob, Thanks for your answer and your example (https://github.com/robclark/kmscube/blob/master/kmscube.c). I understood standalone KMS without x11 (as written by you @ http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2012-September/027348.html ).
But, looking at Linux Graphics stack (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Linux_Graphics_Stack_2013.svg), I am confused. Does libGL calls always directly calls libDRM and never to x-server? If so, then how simple gl example ?drawf.c? (http://www.glprogramming.com/red/chapter08.html) using glBitmap() work well when x11 server running? Also, when switching between multiple windows, x server running in backgroung, why drm_mode_addfb (DRM_IOCTL_MODE_ADDFB) getting called many times? (as I think, fb might have already created for multiple windows.) Thanks for your patience, Rob. Akash Hajari.
