Description

Framebuffer-based graphics applications can use a library layer for drawing, input handling, and simple windowing without a full desktop stack. It is useful for embedded, kiosk, or legacy software that targets Linux framebuffer devices.

This is a development and runtime library, not a normal app. Hardware support and permissions determine whether framebuffer access works correctly.
