Could you make it work without the framebuffer. There are embedded LCD displays that have internal memory that need data flushed to them.
I'm not sure I understand. What the current implementation does is to use host based framebuffer memory. Apps mmap that memory and draw to that. Then after the delay, that framebuffer is written to the device's memory. That's the scenario for hecubafb where the Apollo controller maintains it's own internal framebuffer. When you say without the framebuffer, if you meant without the host memory, then this method doesn't work. If you mean without the device's internal memory, then yes, I think we can do that, because it would be up to the driver to use the touched pagelist to then perform IO as suitable for its device.
