GPU acceleration Linux?

Question

linux

I understand that in order for the graphics accelerator to work in Linux, you need to use the X server and the corresponding glx module for it. The video card driver is a module for X…

Answer 2

Video card driver essence module for X

Not entirely true, the driver usually still has a kernel part and userspace libraries that manage 3d acceleration. The X driver is engaged in 2d and is a layer for 3d.

What are the ways to get accelerated two-dimensional or three-dimensional graphics without using x?

DirectFB for example.

Answer 3

DirectFB is just accelerated graphics. But it must be taken into account that not a single modern DE works without an X server, this time. And that for playing flash and other plug-ins in the same browsers based on Gecko and WebKit, such a thing as XEmbed widget is used, that is, an X widget that can be embedded in other applications.
