Q: frame buffer video in FreeBSD ???

[James Lehman]

Hello everyone.

Like many other people new to FreeBSD,
I come from many years of experience with Linux.

In Linux we can build the kernel to provide a frame buffer device(s)
/dev/fb0    fb1, fb2...

This is basically a file descriptor that actually refers to
the memory on the video card.

Using ioctl system calls to this descriptor gets and sets
resolution and color depth, etc.

I've written a fairly comprehensive API in C called ezfb.

Is there anything like this in FreeBSD?
Is there any way to port this code to FreeBSD?

Thanks!
