GUI application without xwindows

hi all,

I’m looking to build an application like old ms-dos based GUI, whitout
using xwindows library, to run in a very low machine. I saw I can use
fbcon library and SDL. Does anybody known where I can found some
documentantion about that?

thanks in advance

You shouldn’t need anything special… The fbdev support is just
another backend.

For example, if I accidentally run an SDL app as root on my machine,
it just runs on fbdev automatically, since the X server won’t talk to
root processes. SDL automatically uses the first backend in the
checking order that works, unless you explicitly instruct it to do
otherwise.
