i enjoy working with a framebuffer. but i guess cause i have the code.
the secret phone i worked on was inferno on top of plan9 (arm based).
you could lazily run rio and grab the "framebuffer" that you get from
/dev/screen for each window. the rendering code uses that thru rio.
and the graphics manager (which they never got) ran on that. works
well except i only have two of them and hardware is adhoc and bad, and
most importantly the battery life is bad. i'm taking tiger for walkies
so call it ... i'll give away the fb code, unless someone wants to pay
for it (secret meeting in madrid).
