Another graphics adapter question. Under linux, are the drivers which
exploit hardware acceleration dependent on X11? My guess is some games
will run under svgalib or whatever, but is that it? It would seem
reasonable to me to have some interface to the graphics card which is
independent of X11 (for example so I could watch DVD's on the
console), but i'm not sure if that is really the case..
